Earlier, we have repeatedly written about the criminal role of the “Crimean federal university”, as well as the “Crimean branch of the voluntary society for assistance to the army, aviation and navy of Russia” (“DOSAAF”) in the militarization of Crimean youth.
Now the aggressor’s propaganda writes about another campaign on this issue, in the form of an “educational workshop “Unmanned technologies”, conducted in at least seven Crimean schools under the cover of the so-called “Crimean research institute of unmanned technologies”.
These criminal actions were carried out by the “institute” and the same “DOSAAF” in Simferopol schools “No. 29 named after Zhukov” and “No. 30 named after Amatuni”, with the same people announcing “training of military personnel and law enforcement officers according to professional standard 17.071”, that is, “specialists in the operation of unmanned aerial systems”.
That “institute” was “established” by the occupiers last year, with a “registration address” in an office that coincides with the structure of “Tavrida Spetstrans” of Anatoly Brilev.
“Co-founders of the institute” are such collaborators as Bogdan Zinkov, Igor Boyko, Alexander Akulenko and Alexander Lysenko.
Before the occupation, Alexander Akulenko was a Simferopol lawyer, since 2016 he received a “lawyer’s certificate” from the aggressor and was then listed as a “founder” in the later “liquidated” Simferopol “bar association” “Crimean Bastion”.
In 2017, Akulenko “surfaced” in litigation first as a “representative” of the “Octyabrsky cognac factory”, and then demanded “unpaid funds for services” from his clients.
The wife of this figure, Oksana Akulenko, a “liquidator” of the same “Crimean Bastion”, is also listed as a “lawyer” for the occupiers, and obviously she is a “tame” one for the Kremlin’s punishers.
It was previously reported that she “was appointed by the FSB as a defender of the alleged “Ukrainian saboteur” Vladimir Dudka”.
Oksana Akulenko was also introduced by the aggressor’s punitive forces as a “lawyer-by-appointment” for the arrested “saboteur” Andrei Zakhtey, as well as the “Crimean saboteur” Dmitry Shtyblikov, two “accused of aiding” for “Maksim Filatov, convicted of an “attempted terrorist attack” in Crimea, and other similar “FSB” concocted repressive “high-profile cases”.
In parallel, the “full namesake” of Alexander Akulenko was declared in 2023 as a “junior research fellow at the digital creativity laboratory” “FabLab” of the same “federal university” of the occupiers.
At the same time, Zinkov “marked himself” at the same “university” as a “chief specialist of the development program directorate”, as well as “director of the scientific and educational center” “Engineering and digital cluster”.
And Boyko, together with him, received “gratitude” from Crimean gauleiter Sergei Aksyonov, as “deputy director of the center for unmanned aerial systems” and “head of the situation center” of the same “university”, and in it he “led the project” “High-tech student sports”.
Now, judging by the statements of the aggressor’s propaganda, this group was united by the Kremlin’s special services into an “institute”, which was probably done for the purpose of “mutually beneficial control over financing”. It is obvious that the described persons will continue their criminal activity to militarize the Crimean youth.
