Why Gennady Timchenko decided to withdraw from the history with the construction of the bridge in the Kerch Strait? It would seem that such construction is the largest in modern Russian history - bodes well for earnings, reputational dividends and location of power, and then a close friend of Vladimir Putin, has his well-being first and foremost a special relationship with the President is not talking about dividends, and reputational risks?

From the point of view of ordinary logic is no bridge in the Kerch Strait in General there should be no

Perhaps it was in a special relationship with Putin. When Timchenko had intended to build a bridge, he was sure of generous state support for their initiatives. Now it firsthand can get the information that there will be no money. But to build such a facility for their " absolutely senseless. The bridge or tunnel is interesting only from the point of view of cutting public funds. Because it's not interesting to anyone and, most likely, in the Kerch Strait will not. And if something like a bridge will appear - then it will stand there for very long.

From the point of view of ordinary logic is no bridge in the Kerch Strait in General should not be. First, do the natural conditions are ready to pronounce a sentence of any such construction. And, secondly, it had at least some sense, if the Crimea was indeed an island.

And the Crimea Peninsula. If someone is still in it still does not believe, let him open the geography and convinced. The Crimean Peninsula has always been associated with big land not through the Kerch Strait and through Perekop. And without this connection did not exist. Only the ancient city-States without this connection, since the ports were directly tied to foreign trade and protected from the attacks actually from the Crimea and adjacent steppes. But when I started to develop the Peninsula, he never broke away from the mainland.

The Crimean khanate was located on the Peninsula, and the huge surrounding protected areas of Ukraine and Russia. Crimea in the Russian Empire was connected with the neighbouring provinces - now this is the territory of Ukraine. Crimea in the Soviet Union - even though it was officially included in the RSFSR - from the point of view of supply has always been associated with the neighboring regions of the Ukrainian SSR, and not with the Krasnodar region. The decision of the leadership of the USSR in 1954 simply formalized a long-existing relationship.

Crimea, no doubt, after their occupation of Catherine's troops was Russian. But that's only the Russian Federation Putin - candy of the Russian Empire of the Romanovs. This is the whole point! And how many of the Russian Federation did not announce the Crimea her, how many troops did not enter, how many idiots are not forced to believe in the legitimacy of the occupation, geography, she is unable to change.

The idea of building a bridge, by the way, is not so new. It appeared whenever it was clear how much you can cut down on the construction project of the century. Initially the bridge was worn able carving Golden sparks from Moscow asphalt Yuri Luzhkov, then the bridge was the subject of talks between Vladimir Putin and Viktor Yanukovych. The Russian and Ukrainian presidents agreed on the construction of the bridge in the Crimea almost in the package with 15-billion loan, which Putin has decided to pay failure Yanukovych from European integration. Well, after the occupation of the bridge was almost a necessity, and will become just another illustration of Putin's ridiculous adventures.

Therefore, no bridge will not. And will that occupied the Crimea will gradually rot together with submersible in economic and political abyss Russia and survive through the generosity of their homeland at the expense of Ukrainian products and other resources, remaining all the same! - part of Ukraine, not Russia. And then one day, when Putin or after its collapse - occupation troops just leave the Peninsula, taking axenovich, Konstantinovich, Chalykh and other vermin. Over the Parliament of the Crimea will proudly hoisted the national flag of Ukraine, on the streets of Simferopol will sound next to the Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar speech, left occupiers docks Sevastopol will include ships of the naval forces of Ukraine and will hit the streets of the Crimean cities watering machine, washing away the dirt of the occupation and the remaining somewhere occupying the characters. And clean Yalta embankment, to the blue sea and the yellow sun will come out as if waking from hibernation people who have nobody to fear after years of fear, cold, poverty. repression and humiliation.

Crimea will return home. And the bridge he no no need. Its bridge is Perekop.
