Vasvi Ennanovich Abduraimov (Russian: Васви Эннанович Абдураимов, Crimean Tatar; Crimean Turkish: Vasvi Ennan oğlu Abduraimov; born 18 October 1954) is the chairman of New Milliy Fırqa. As a strong opponent of the Mejlis, supporter of the 2014 annexation of the peninsula, and critic of the post-Euromaidan Ukrainian government, he is universally considered to be part of the pro-Russia faction in Crimea; however, his staunch opposition to the controversial "Crimean Rose" Russian settlement project, demolitions of Crimean Tatar houses, certain bans on rallies, and other measures against the Crimean Tatars has been a subject of disagreement with others in the Russian government.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
