    Denis Berezovsky was shown on Russian television swearing allegiance to the pro-Russian regional leaders of Crimea. Russian forces have seized the Black Sea peninsula and told Ukrainian forces there to give up their weapons.

    “During the blockade by Russian forces of the central headquarters of the navy, he declined to offer resistance and laid down his weapons,” said Viktoria Syumar, deputy secretary of Ukraine’s Security Council.

    “The prosecutor’s office has opened a criminal case against Denis Berezovsky under statute 111: state treason,” she said. Another admiral, Serhiy Hayduk, was placed in charge of the navy.

    If he is Jewish (or even if he has a Jewish father or grandfather), then there will be flak directed against the Jews of the Ukraine.

    Is he by chance related to the family of the Slonimer Rebbe in Israel. Their name is Berezovsky.
