A propaganda campaign aimed at the agitation of the Crimean population to support the accession of Crimea to Russia is deployed recently in Crimea. For example, in Sevastopol they actively distribute SMS and instant messages in all social networks and propaganda leaflets with the following content: * support the Russian policy in Crimea; * agitation of the population to support the Crimean referendum on March 16 for Crimea to join Russian Federation; * leaflets with the referendum questions and lopside interpretation of advantages of joining Russia and discrediting Ukraine;
In the night from March 9 to March 10 in the streets of Sevastopol a lot of bigboards with the posters of the same orientation were deployed. To support the statements above we present such agitation photos posted on the wall of the Lazarevskaya Street (Sevastopol) which borders the territory of the Black Sea Fleet Training Detachment (known as Lazarev barracks) which is the “base” for the Russian military forces arrived to Crimea to block the military units of the Ukraininan Navy, and for Russian security services such as FSB as well.
Most of these materials are aimed at the population to support Crimea to join the Russian Federation on the Crimean referendum scheduled to be held on 16 March 2014. It should also be noted that these agitation posters are located right in front of the Ukrainian Navy Training Unit where the military units have not surrenedered and remain true to the oath of allegiance to the Ukrainian people. The information pressure by Russia on the Crimean people turns their minds literally upside down.
