We previously wrote about the “scaling up” of drone operator training by Crimean collaborators as part of a “cadre reserve project,” which claimed to be implementing “valuable instructions” from Crimean gauleiter Aksyonov “under the personal supervision” of his “assistant” Stanislav Gretskiy and carried out by the so-called “Crimean research institute of unmanned technologies.”
We have already investigated the illegal activities of the “co-founders of the institute,” namely Alexander Akulenko, Igor Boyko, Bogdan Zinkov, and Alexander Lysenko.
We also pointed to scams involving the aforementioned Gretskiy, previously implicated as Aksyonov’s “assistant” “on transport issues,” and as a key link in the Simferopol paid parking scams through the “Gor Trans Service” structure.
In February, the occupiers’ “press” announced the “opening of the qualifying round of an educational workshop on unmanned nechnologies” at the so-called “V.N. Tolstov Kerch Technological College.”
Now, the collaborators have announced the “fifth educational workshop,” which they have gathered together 80 students from the so-called “S.L. Sokolov Yevpatoria Industrial College,” “Yevpatoria College of Construction Technologies and Services,” “Saky Technological College,” and “Pribrezhny Agricultural College of the Crimean Federal University.”
It should be added that the collaborators have come up with a “creative” way to “motivate” future “cannon fodder,” since the initial number of applicants clearly did not match the figures promised to the Kremlin.
Now, students at Crimean “technical schools” and “colleges” are promised “benefits for university admission” after receiving a “certificate for a blue-collar worker” as a “drone operator,” effectively bypassing the “unified state assessment.”
However, the main real prospect from the aggressor for these “professionals” will not be “universities,” but frontline dugouts.
