Crimean schoolboy paints Ukrainian flag, parents called up

A schoolboy’s parents were called up to school after the boy had drawn the Ukrainian flag and the Crimean Tatar emblem “tamga.”

The administration of one of the schools in Crimea’s Simferopol district called up parents because of the incident at the themed lesson, according to the 15 Minutes online media outlet.

Performing the task at the lesson titled “What is my Homeland?”, the boy filled the Russian flag with the colors of the Ukrainian one, added the national Crimean Tatar emblem “tamga” and wrote “Crimea is our Homeland” on a flag.

Also, according to the publication, five students from among the Crimean Tatars in one of the universities of Crimea refused to get up for the national anthem of Russia, which triggered internal investigation. 

A student at a primary school in Bakhchisarai read out loud a phrase “Our homeland is Crimea” instead of the teacher’s instructions to read “Our homeland is Russia.” The parents were reported to have praised the child’s move after they had been summoned to school administration.
On December 28, in the village of Dolinka Krasnoperekopsky district of the Crimea about 25 Cossacks raided homes of the Crimean Tatars.
