As Vladimir Konstantinov’s henchman in the “state council”, the fake “chairman of the committee on agrarian policy and development of rural areas” Vasily Rogatin stated in mid-February, in 2025 the occupiers plan to “seize from the owners” more than 170 thousand hectares of agricultural land in the occupied AR of Crimea.
Now we are talking not only about those lands that allegedly “have not been cultivated since 2014”, but also about an “inventory” of orchards and vineyards, with the seizure of “lands that have not been cultivated for more than three years”.
The seized “will be transferred to municipalities” and allegedly “rented out”, and these measures will allegedly be carried out in order to “understand the condition of the vineyards, how and with what they are cultivated”.
Let us recall, that earlier the collaborators literally exuded streams of “optimism” regarding the “growth of gardens and vineyards” on the occupied peninsula, and we periodically refuted these manipulations of figures.
Now it “suddenly turned out” that the occupiers “do not know the realities” in this area, but this “ignorance” is naturally not the reason, but the pretext for a large-scale redistribution of lands, following the results of the “Rosselkhoznadzor inspection” of 78 vineyards.
They are covering up this “initiative”, carried out in the obvious interests of the same Konstantinov’s clan, by “the entry into force of amendments to the federal law on viticulture and winemaking”.
But it is obvious, that the specifics of gardens and vineyards are such that it will be easy for collaborators to prove “mismanagement”, and even more so “non-compliance with documents” on “the location of the vineyard, planting scheme, varietal composition, etc.”
It is obvious that in a couple of months many of the most lucrative Crimean lands, with the “light hand” of the black marketeers from the “state council”, will receive “new owners and tenants”.
