On November 9, the Russian occupiers announced that the construction hypermarkets “Novacenter” allegedly belonging to “Ukrainian beneficiaries” would be “withdrawn from the owners” not only in the Russia-occupied Crimea, but also in Sevastopol. At the same time, the invaders’ Sevastopol “administration” “washed their hands” on this issue and decided not to do anything, saying that “this is a Crimean, not a Sevastopol network”.
A week ago, we already reported that the Russian occupiers distributed a propaganda video about the “head of the interim administration” of “Novacenter”, which they claimed to be Alexandra Romanenko.
It was noted that this collaborator until 2020 was the “general director” of the same Crimean “Novacenter”. Romanenko later played the criminal “technical” role of a “candidate for early election of the governor” of Sevastopol from the fake “Democratic Party of Russia”, and since December 2021 she has been “marked” as the “head” of the “Sevastopol branch” of the “organization of small and medium-sized businesses” “Support of Russia”.
Now the occupiers-controlled “TV channel” “Millet”, gave a wide interview to the same Romanenko, in which she tried to explain this “piquant” situation of the “return of the old director”. At the same time, the occupiers, of course, did not tell the simplest fact – who will actually control “Novacenter” and “director” Romanenko.
From Romanenko at “Millet”, one could hear statements that since 2014 there were some “schemes” at the enterprise, in which she, his “director”, allegedly “was not involved”. At the same time, the collaborator admitted not only that until 2018 she constantly traveled to Kyiv “for meetings with the company’s management”, but also that in 2022 the beneficiaries of “Novacenter” actually changed even before the Simferopol “government” announced about the “nationalization” of hypermarkets.
In fact, the example of “Novacenter” shows that the process of “getting rid” of Ukrainian businesses of Crimean assets began after the abolition of the law on the exclusive economic zone “Crimea” in 2021. And since February 2022, Crimean collaborators, supported by “big Russian business” began to try to get the most “tasty” objects for next to nothing, guided by the principle “the war will write everything off”.
And if we talk about the war, then Romanenko, as the “new director”, criminally promised in an interview to “help” the soldiers of the aggressor on the front line. It should be noted that the Bakhchisaray Cement Plant, criminally “nationalized” according to a similar scheme, also after the change of beneficiaries, has now also criminally “switched to serve a priority reserve” represented by the aggressor’s Ministry of Defense.
