A YEAR AFTER: MAIN VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN CRIMEA PART 4 was 344,835 people. By comparison: in the elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in 2012, the number of registered voters in Sevastopol was 303,09318peo- ple. According to the data of the Ukrainian Central Election Commission, the num- ber of voters in Sevastopol for the past decade had been stable and varied within 1 thousand. Thus, the increase of the number of voters alone was 41,000 people, or almost 12%. The inU ux of Russian citizens to the occupied territory was stimulated, inter alia, by a drastic change of legislative regulation. The di7 culties that have occurred in con- nection with the change of legislative regulation are described in the report of the 19 Human Rights Commissioner in the Republic of Crimea for 2014 . As noted by Alexey Chaly (the so-called “people’s mayor” of Sevastopol in February-March 2014, and currently the “Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of Sevastopol”): “the of- + cials that worked in the Ukrainian Sevastopol are not familiar with the Russian legislation 20 and the working conditions. They are special, the appropriate skills are required” . All this has led to a decrease in the competitiveness of the local population and the inU ux of “experts” from the Russian Federation. The state services responsible for the employment of population openly dissemi- nate the information on vacancies in Crimea. Although some jobs envisage season- al employment, there is a fairly large number of proposals of permanent employ- ment, even with the provision of accommodation. In particular, this information was published on the o7 cial websites of the State 21 Committee on Employment of the Republic of Khakassia , the Employment Center 22 of Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region , the Kemerovo Employment Center for popu- lation23 24 , the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Buryatia , the Ministry of Edu- 25 cation and Science of the Republic of Buryatia , which contains the invitation for locals to familiarize with vacancies that are open in Crimea. 18 http://www.cvk.gov.ua/pls/vnd2012/wp095_2?PT001F01=900&pt049f01=2 19 http://ombudsman.rk.gov.ru/rus/index.htm/news/292664.htm 20 http://goo.gl/HS4Gry 21 http://zankhakasia.ru/ 22 http://www.czn-nk.ru/index.php/news/1-2012-03-27-06-08-09/1143-2015-06-30-04-25-35; http://www.czn-nk.ru/index.php/component/content/article/3/1064-2014-12-18-08-23-25; http://www.czn-nk.ru/R les/15_06_vakansii_c_gil.xls; http://goo.gl/oYmqN5 (available on the Internet as of 01.07.2015). 23 http://goo.gl/PWkDZH 24 http://www.economy.govrb.ru/info_service/news.php?ELEMENT_ID=10633&sphrase_id=9553 http://goo.gl/hm3cus 25 http://www.economy.govrb.ru/info_service/news.php?ELEMENT_ID=10633&sphrase_id=9553; http://goo.gl/LbFwwQ. 93
