A Sevastopol activist was condemned in Ukraine for his call to annex Crimea to Russia. Now he can’t find a job in Russia because of his criminal record
In Simferopol, activist Valery Podyachy began to sue the city school No. 18 - the institution refused to hire him as a teacher. According to Russian laws, a person with a criminal record cannot be admitted to school, but Podyachy has one; however, he was convicted in 2011 by a Ukrainian court for encroaching on the territorial integrity of the country. The podyachy, who was then a citizen of Ukraine, publicly demanded that Crimea be annexed to Russia.
