The saga surrounding the “gardening non-profit partnership” called “Family” (“Semya”) has been gaining momentum in the vicinity of Simferopol, having lasted for almost a decade.
Its essence lies in the fact that constantly changing “leaders of the partnership” have been distributing land plots in the suburban village of Perovo (Badana) to hundreds of interested parties for appropriate bribes, though mostly “on paper.”
And after a change in “leadership,” successive “leaders” have accused their predecessors, like Svetlana Obolonskaya, of “hostile takeovers” and “fraud,” preventing them from actually receiving the plots previously distributed.
In recent years, the main trigger in these cases has been Galina Gempel, the daughter of the “chief Crimean German” and collaborator Juri Gempel, a noted “singer of the Russian world,” whom we have described many times. However, the “administrative resources” of this unholy family were clearly insufficient to “quell” the anger of the “land-deprived,” many of whom found themselves far from insignificant in the occupation system.
In this “multifaceted” scheme, the “Simferopol district administration” decided to “wash its hands of the matter,” and the younger Gempel was unable to overcome her competitors in the occupation “courts” last year.
Moreover, the occupiers’ punitive forces also took notice of the case, conducting “searches” in the “company” in December with the explicit goal of further “defatting” these same “honorary Germans.”
And so, realizing the dire situation, this family of collaborators decided to resort to an “innovative move,” “issuing” land plots, again on paper, at the end of 2025 to the “32 heroes” in the form of “veterans” of Russian aggression, mostly at the level of generals and colonels.
Then, in yet another raid, the Gempel family “handed over the keys” to the partnership in February to a representative of this “landing force,” colonel Sergei Ryazantsev.
This “hero” immediately launched a frenzy of “public appeals to the head of the republic” and “complaints to the prosecutor’s office,” demanding the “zeroing” of all land claimants who had received them “before the Gempel era.”
Most notable in this saga is the current “silence of the lambs” from local propaganda, which for the past three years has exploited the themes of “land for military” and “the introduction of veterans into local government.”
Obviously, the reality of the “illegal redistribution” of land by “initiative” raiders in uniform differs somewhat from the “regular splendor” portrayed in the Crimean “press,” where “veterans are returning to own their land.”
