The Crimea for debts – America: historians have a good laugh with the idea of scandalous people’s Deputy Artemenko
Announced by the people’s Deputy Andrey Artemenok idea to transfer control of the Crimea administration of the United States of America for a long debt of Russia in front of her ridiculed by historians. Experts say that even the formal basis to develop theory in this direction does not exist, says the story TSN.19:30.
Artemenko believes that Crimea may be transferred to the United States, since Soviet Russia took 50 million dollars under its pledge, in 1920, but did not return them. “They laid the Crimea as the territory that will be transferred to the United States of America, if the loan is not repaid. In 1954 came the maturity of the amounts received,” – said the Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada.
This version had a good laugh historian Volodymyr serhiychuk. He explained that in the early twentieth century, tsarist Russia was already in catastrophic debt, and the Bolsheviks to pay them would not. To give government loans to the Bolsheviks in the U.S. could not even theoretically, because the Americans recognized the government of the Communists until much later. “Soviet Russia refused from those loans. She refused to pay them. So the logical question is: how could the American bankers so to throw out $ 50 million. But the more important question: Soviet Russia was first recognized by the United States of America in 1933,” explained sergejchuk.
Despite this, Artemenko planning a new trip to USA, where he will talk about the Crimea and the Budapest Memorandum. “I am not a party to the negotiations between Russia and the United States of America regarding financial obligations. I’m not interested. Plan soon to visit Washington to visit new York and continue his work”, – he explained. First, however, the Deputy will have to solve the problem in Ukraine, where the SBU and Prosecutor General’s office on Monday searched the office of his lawyer, Leonid Sivakova. “The Prosecutor’s office knocks me of things that I led. I have not had time to provide legal assistance to their clients. Investigator Zarychanski prevent me to prepare for the interrogation Artemenko. This is, apparently, deliberately,” – says the lawyer.
