Konstantinov called a record number of violations during the transfer of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

According to him, a record level of legal nihilism has been allowed. “I don’t know what prevented this whole procedure from being formalized by law in 1954,” added the people’s representative (quote from RIA Novosti).

Eight years ago, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation concluded that the decision of the presidiums of the Supreme Soviets of the RSFSR and the USSR to transfer the peninsula to the Ukrainian SSR did not comply with the Constitution.

The Prosecutor General’s Office also highlighted that Sevastopol remained under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation even after the transfer of the peninsula to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
