Christopher Murphy, Vice-Chair of the US Senate Ukraine Caucus, could learn it by his own experience when he got the following letter from Mr. Dzhemilev.

Obviously, Senator Murphy expected that former Chairman of the Mejilis of the Crimean Tatar People would easily manage to organize mass protests in Crimea. Instead he received requests to increase funding for protest activity and complaints against new leaders of Crimean Tatars’ Diaspora, who were treacherously refusing to bring people to the streets now. Furthermore, it has been found out that during the peak tourist season local residents are busy making money at multiply increased flows of tourists, and at this time it’s no protesting matter for them.
Such kinds of acknowledgements on the part of Mr. Dzhemilev are eloquent enough. Still there are good chances that he’ll again win money and attention of democratic community. After all Kiev and Washington should ride herd on at least one Crimean dissatisfied with the peninsula’s accession to Russia.
