the MP said that Crimea, disregarding historical justice, 23, was under the jurisdiction of Ukraine." And somehow they had not vouchsafed to perpetuate the memory of great Patriotic war heroes, were closely, and only accomplice of the Nazis Bandera. Thanks, by the way, that's not his name made the proposal to call in the Russian Crimea ", - he added.

"We, of course, have nothing against the heroes of the great Patriotic war, honor And respect their memory. But somehow illogical turns - at first in the Parliament recognize the outlawed Banner of Victory, banning Soviet symbols, And after to perpetuate the name of the hero of this war, " said Slutsky.
