Celebration of Crimea… One Year Ago Today, 96.77 percent of voters chose to rejoin Russia…

This is a historic day, in my mind. So I would like to celebrate with a re-posting of the video with Natalia Poklonskaya, Crimea’s chief prosecutor. There were a few posts on this blog about her (1, 2, 3), and I feel she still represents a new type of Higher Energy for the region.

“The “nyash-myash” bit was apparently taken out from Poklonskaya’s own reaction to her becoming an anime star and receiving a Russian nickname of Nyasha – to which she replied that she would prefer to be perceived as a prosecutor and will not allow any “nyash” or “myash” while at her post.
“It is believed that Poklonskaya took the job after four of her male colleagues refused to take the risk days ahead of the March 16 Crimean referendum on independence from Ukraine, in which 96.77 percent of voters chose to join Russia. The Black Sea republic was then accepted into the Russian Federation on March 21.”
