The Crimea Betrayed Its Mother
‘I am leaving. This is not
a joke. I have realised that love cannot be compelled. I was struggling so hard
to be of benefit to you. I was warming you with my sun, I was caressing you with
the calming waters of my sea. I have always been waiting for you, always… You
were heartless. Without wiping your feet, you just stormed into my house,
telling me what to do and how to think. You have never been interested in my
opinion. It was more than I could bear. You kept on strangling me. I am not angry.
I am just leaving and taking my brothers with me. I loved you unrequitedly. I am not yours anymore!’- this is how an ungrateful child Crimea
bade farewell to its mother Ukraine on March 16, 2014. The results of the Crimean
referendum were astounding. 96.7 percent of Ukraine’s children betrayed their
mother - they voted for annexation
to Russia. All night, people of the Crimean capital Simferopol and
others were celebrating, laughing, hugging, dancing and firing fireworks. In
Kiev all were sulking.
