Sofia Rotaru’s villa in Crimea was given to her for free, a representative of the Russian Community organization in Yalta said. “I wanted to sell it last year for more than 2.2 billion rubles,” the interlocutor said.
The building needs to be nationalized, says Crimean senator Sergei Tsekov. Rotaru “more than once demonstrated her anti-Russian views” and did not support the reunification of Crimea with Russia.
