This week the head of Russia Vladimir Putin visited Crimea, And the reaction of the Western media to This event was very unexpected, a British journalist Neil Clark. Clark recalls that in March 2014 the condemnation of the annexation of Crimea to Russia was very intense. Putin visited Crimea in may of the same year. And It provoked a strong reaction from the capital of the USA. However, the Russian President's visit to the Peninsula this week - when he plunged into the submersible to the bottom of the Black sea - was almost ignored. The Western media wrote about This event is that a joke, comparing dive under water with the falling ruble." Strong condemnation of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, who called the event " an affront to the entire civilized world ", it seemed that the West ignored, because none of the Western leaders did Not explain Putin's trip to "annexed" the Peninsula, " writes Clark. So, the television channel Sky News called Putin " daredevil ". TV channel si-EN-EN, lighting This event, in place of the action indicated " Sevastopol, Crimea ", and Not " the Ukraine ", although on its Internet representation emphasize that Crimea, the Ukrainian region. Other media Putin's visit to the Peninsula has been described as " controversial ", And as far as it went ", - the journalist writes. According to Clark, such a "muted response" from the Western media has the ability to be a sign that the West is " settling down ". Crimea was visited by the delegation of French parliamentarians from the Republican party, Nicolas Sarkozy, Italian deputies announced its plans to pay a visit to the Peninsula. It was also announced about the fact that in the Crimea have the opportunity to go And Polish the elected officials, And elected representatives of the progressive Left party of Germany. Clark stressed that the visit of the French delegation was the right decision - the French authorities should be aware that in reality takes place in Crimea." The fact that the delegations of Western politicians go And suggest to go to the Crimea, said about the fact that they did Not consider, because It would have cost them popularity ". Not only politicians are coming to the Peninsula - most of the musicians Also Not afraid to give a speech in Crimea: American rock star Joe Lynn Turner, the former singer of Rainbow And Deep Pirple will give a series of concerts this week, writes Clark. Hope neoconservatives hard boycott of Crimea from the West have Not come true. Even if visiting the Peninsula certainly Not says approving its accession to the Russian Federation, It ultimately means the cracks in the " hard line ". This occurs, for example, because the idea of annexing Crimea has Not found wide support in Western society correspondent who know at least a little of the history of the region, understand that Russia has certain rights to the Peninsula. Importance is Also the political context around the Crimea - Clark emphasizes that the referendum happened after the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014. It was then violated the consensus, suggesting that the rights of ethnic minorities in Ukraine, as well as the maintenance of Ukraine's friendly relations with Russia And the West at the same time." All This was destroyed in February 2014, when the Russians in Ukraine felt the danger of expulsion of the President And the government, which they supported, And, for example, the danger from anti-Russian right-wing groups ".
