In July, the aggressor-controlled “Yevpatorian media” began publishing “reports on the ongoing activities” on the criminal militarization of Crimean youth, recalling the existence of such a structure as the “Yevparoriyskiy desant” (“Yevpatoria Landing”) with the alleged “leader” Konstantin Miroshnichenko.
It was stated that the main criminal partner of the “Yevpatoria Landing” was “military unit 86863 of the 68th separate marine engineering regiment of the Black Sea fleet” of the aggressor, as well as the “Yevpatoria driving school DOSAAF” and that the “landing” covered children from 7 to 17 years old, “mainly from 8 to 13 years old”, divided into three age platoons.
At the same time, in addition to “a member of the Union of Russian Paratroopers” Miroshnichenko, the nominal “founders” of the “Yevpatoria Landing” in 2017 were the “Crimean champion in fighting without rules” Vladimir Melnikov, as well as an “entrepreneur” from the suburban village of Suvorovske, Arina Linkova. Now Melnikov is predictably declared as an “instructor”, and Linkova as a “media coordinator and travel organizer”, but from the very beginning the “landing” was initiated by completely different people.
These are Muscovites Vasily Petukhov and Sergei Nesterov, who “checked in” not only in the Moscow branch of the “Don Movement”, but also in the role of nominal founders of the regional Moscow branch of the aggressor party “Rodina” (“Motherland”), being associated with it through the one-time Dmitry Volkov. However, since 2021, these individuals “disappeared from the radar” of the “Yevpatoria Landing” and then it was transferred from the “party cash desk” directly to the “feeding” of the aggressor’s special services.
In addition to the “paratroopers”, churchmen also reported on the militarization of Yevpatoria youth, namely the “Orthodox philosopher Alexander”, in other words – Lugansk collaborator from the “police scientists” Alexander Anufrienko, who created the “Brotherhood of Orthodox Intelligence-Pathfinders” in Yevpatoria in 2017 under the control of Russian punitive forces.
Now Anufrienko is reporting to the media about the so-called “Orthodox festival named after the Holy blessed Grand duke Alexander Nevsky “Yevpatoria biathlon” held at the “cultural and educational center of St. Nicholas Cathedral.”
This “combined event” included “interactive boxing” and “arm wrestling” and its performers were church functionaries Priest Dmitry Chkana and Archpriest Georgy Dick, as well as the “president of the Phygital sports federation” Sergei Zyryanov.
Let us note that recently the same Zyryanov “registered” the “company” “Ekovend” in the village of Maloaleksandrovka near occupied Skadovsk, the main activity of this “company” is trading through vending machines.
We previously examined this collaborator, who “grew up” from a Simferopol municipal advertising functionary to the occupation “minister of internal policy, information and communications,” replacing the notorious Dmitry Polonsky.
And since Zyryanov’s commercial interests in Crimea are connected with slot machines and online casinos, the current show may signal the expansion of his “phygital empire” in the occupied territory precisely under the omophorion of the Moscow Patriarchate.
