Seems like Russia is into the 'send people to Siberia' bandwagon again. Can't say I'm surprised.
"I was shocked by an article published in a Magadan newspaper reporting that when the first airplane landed there with 400 Ukrainian refugees, journalists rushed forward to ask their questions but were stopped by the passengers asking, "Where are we?"
It turned out that when they were put on a plane in the Crimean capital of Simferopol, they were told they were flying to the Black Sea town of Anapa. And when they landed instead in Magadan — almost 7,000 kilometers to the east — they were told they were only entitled to that one free flight: for all flights out of Magadan, they would have to pay full price."

So if Mr Andrei Malgin read this article where is the link in his article? Where's the proof? Any proof of this allegation at all?
I don't believe this happened. It's morons like this with an ax to grind and master to serve that have been kicking we the people, all of us, in the balls for a long time. People like this are worthless to any society.
Sorry guys,
I think your opportunity to get rid of Russia was when YOU had those nuclear missiles.
Sanctions won't work unless europe gets it's gas from somewhere else, and I don't see that in the near future.

I checked on Andrei Malgin ( I saw his entries in the Live Journal before, ( always anti-Russian in the current conflict,) but I was not sure who he was.
To me he looks like a former Soviet functionary, who fell off with the regime, has been deprived of certain perks and from that time on he has "an ax to grind" - precisely as you've mentioned.
So he basically has more or less the same attitude as some other Eastern Europeans here ( you know the drill,) so it's hard to get an objective outlook from people like that.
From what I've read on this situation with Ukrainian refugees ( being sent to Magadan from Crimea) - well, it looks like the majority of them were originally from Lugansk, mostly women with children.
There were 380 of them; 200 flew to Yakutsk, the rest proceeded to Magadan. So I can make a guess that once they've landed, some wanted to specify where exactly they were. I've read that at least one family had relatives somewhere in the area, so I have hard time believing that people would have been sent to such distance without knowing their destination. In fact, this particular family is mentioning their fears before the trip; they thought they'd come, look around, get scared and would try to go back to Ukraine. They were surprised that "everything was green" ( well at least during this time of the year) as "back in Ukraine"

Yes and it sure didn't kill him. I see he did 3 years in Irkutsk. Living there probably made him more mentally tough for that revolutionary war to come. He wasn't called 'Stalin' (man of steel) for nothing.

Where do you see it I'm curious, because his first exile was near Irkutsk, but he escaped in a month or so...
