The feat is not only something heroic, committed while fighting with weapons in their hands. And not only in extreme situations that helped to save someone’s life. The feat is to show solidarity with the people living in the occupied territories, and to honor the memory of compatriots who died during Stalin’s genocide.
Such a feat, and made an elderly Crimean Tatar, who in one of the settlements in the occupied Crimea held a single share, reports “Диалог.UA”.
Despite the fact that age and health allowed the man to walk only leaning on a cane, he, holding the Crimean Tatar flag, proudly and with dignity, had a kind of a single procession. Spent without fear of arrest and condemnation.
By this act, an elderly man gave to understand Russian invaders that they can’t break the spirit of his people, who in August 1991, supported the independence of Ukraine shortly after its announcement. And the first Ukrainian flag, by the way, Crimea was officially posted in Simferopol in August 1991, by decision of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people.
And now, when the long-suffering Crimea is once again facing the occupation, the Crimean Tatars were on the Peninsula the most consistent carriers of the Ukrainian spirit.
This middle-aged resident of Crimea who decided on the single action of solidarity with his people – proof. And a living reminder to the occupants that they did not come out that Ukraine will win.
Wins with such bold and fearless patriots.
