@ashleylittle6776 The annexation of Crimea is not recognized in the UN, because firstly, the states of the World are forced to bend under the United States - the United States is the leading superpower in the World, and therefore almost all countries in the UN pretend to agree with the position of the United States. Secondly, most countries of the world simply do not care about some kind of Crimea, Russia and Ukraine. Do you think at least one country that voted in the UN conducted a serious historical study in order to cast a correct vote? No one understood there. Thirdly, Russia has never made claims to Crimea in the UN, because until 2014, Russia and Ukraine were friendly countries that actively traded. On May 9, the Ukrainian military marched on Red Square as allies of Russia. And in 2014, an anti-Russian revolution took place in Ukraine. Until 2014, Russia did not make claims to Crimea, and therefore no one understood the annexation of Crimea, and as I have already written, no one in the World except Russia and Ukraine cared about it. Politicians in the Philippines, China, Australia, Brazil or South Africa are not interested in this, they did not delve into history and statistics before voting. In addition, the annexation of Crimea really took place with violations of international law. The troops invaded the territory of Crimea long before it was incorporated into Russia, and voting in Crimea was already under the supervision of the Russian military. The vote itself was fake, there was a fake turnout of 84% and 4% of the votes "against". The real turnout is estimated at 40%, but in this case about 10% of the votes are "against". Russian sociologists believe that the majority of the Russian population of Crimea came to the vote and voted "for", and the Ukrainian and non-Russian share of the population simply ignored this vote. But in general, the vote was fake, although even without falsifications there would have been 90% of the votes "for" with a low turnout.

@xvi1128 I know who the Tatars are. I will even say more - my grandfather is a Tatar. As for the Crimean Tatars, since when have Stalin's repressions and Stalin's crimes been the fault of the Russians? Russian Russians, especially modern Russians, have anything to do with Stalin's crimes? Especially considering how many Russians were shot or died of starvation during his reign. Stalin did deport Crimean Tatars after 1945, but what does the Russians have to do with it?
As for Russia, I want to tell you that the English language has some shortcomings regarding Russia. Look - there is a difference between the concept of "nation" and "people". The people is an identity that is based on genetics and race. And a nation is an identity that is based on ideology and worldview. From the point of view of genetics, there is no Soviet people. There is no Soviet genetics. But once there was a Soviet nation, which included Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and many other peoples. Also a good example is the Anglo-Saxons. How do the British, Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders and Americans differ from each other from the point of view of genetics? Nothing. Genetically, they are one people. Australians, Canadians and Americans are descendants of English immigrants from Britain. But these are different nations that respect their independence and statehood. There is a difference between the concept of "nation" and "people". Americans, Australians and Canadians are genetically English, and the British nation includes the English, Scots and Wales.
So, in English, in matters concerning Russia, there is no such difference. Two Russian words - "Russkiy" and "Rossiyanin" are translated into English as "Russian". Although "Russian" is about genetics, and "Rossiyanin" is a nation. So, our nation is completely independent of genetics. You can be of any blood, even a Turk, even a Chinese, even a German. But you can consider yourself Rossiyanin if you want. Again, just like the Scots are part of the British nation. There is absolutely no separatism in Russia and no desire to separate from Russia. Therefore, Russia will not collapse in the same way as the USSR, in which all republics, including Russia itself, wanted independence from the Communist Party. It's stupid to think that the USSR and Russia are the same thing. It was Boris Yeltsin, the head of the Russian Soviet Republic, who publicly tore off the CPSU badge at a meeting of the CPSU. It was Yeltsin who achieved Russia's autonomy from the USSR in 1990. It was Russia that made a key contribution to the collapse of the USSR in 1991. So again, I don't understand why Russians should answer to Crimean Tatars for the crimes of the Communist Party and Stalin. Boris Yeltsin, when he was still sober, simply trampled on the Communists and made Russia, and with it other republics, independent. In Russia, all peoples live as a friendly family. Russia is a secular state with freedom of religion. Small nations have the right to learn their own language. What can not be said about Ukraine, where the Russian language has been systematically oppressed over the past 30 years. And Crimean Tatars associate themselves more with Russia, not with Ukraine. Crimean Tatars in 2014, even if they did not consider themselves citizens of Russia, but at least treated them neutrally.

@johnarnold893 Ukrainians speak Russian because the Soviet communists, who dreamed of a world revolution, wanted to create some kind of international language. That is why the communists changed the Russian language beyond recognition, but forgot to rename it. In 1917, Russian was almost indistinguishable from Ukrainian. However, the communists changed the Russian language very much, removing a few letters from the alphabet, radically changing the grammar and adding a bunch of foreign words. But the communists forgot to rename this new language, which continued to be called Russian. Therefore, this language is 100% spoken by the inhabitants of Russia, but other nations of the USSR could not be convinced to speak completely Russian.

@cteal2018 In 2014, 60% of the population in Crimea were Russians, 16% were Ukrainians, and the remaining 24% were Crimean Tatars and other nationalities. Russians in Crimea in 2014 were more than 3 times more than Ukrainians.
This is the Russian territory, which after the Russo-Turkish war was Russian for 200 years, until in 1954 Nikita Khrushchev transferred Crimea from the RSFSR to the Ukrainian SSR. The transfer of Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 had a purely technical meaning - in Soviet times, no one could have imagined that the USSR would cease to exist. And Crimea was transferred to Ukraine because it had no land communication with Russia, but had with Ukraine, from whose territory all communications were going. Therefore, it would be more logical to manage Crimea from the Kiev administration. In fact, the Russians simply gave Ukrainians their territory for maintenance.
In 1991, the USSR collapsed. Crimea was part of Ukraine while Ukraine was a friendly country towards Russia. However, in 2014, an anti-Russian revolution took place in Ukraine, and therefore Russia took its real estate for itself
