    Business in Crimea has taken a beating since the peninsula’s annexation by Russia. Crimea’s tourism industry collapsed, and companies were cut off from vital suppliers and customers in Ukraine. Now comes the latest blow: nationalization.

    From bakeries to shipyards, Crimea’s Kremlin-backed government is moving aggressively to take over businesses that it deems “inefficient,” strategically important, or friendly to the government in Kiev.



    is this the "freedom" the Russians in Ukraine want?

    the "freedom" to have their businesses stolen by the govt?

    wow.

    They are only confiscating the property of criminal oligarchs & some businesses that are already nearly bankrupt.
    This thing about Russian opposition party Yabloko wanting to give back to Kolomoyskiy his bank branch buildings in Crimea after defrauding depositors of money is just silly bugger stuff & makes one wonder who is financing Yabloko.
