  1. When my grandmother was born in Crimea it was a part of Russia (before 1954 assignment to Ukraine), on the 20 Jan 1991 referendum in Crimea my grandmother and my uncle voted for leaving Ukraine and to join Russia, 93% people voted for the same, in 2014 my uncle voted in Crimea to rejoin Russia, sadly my grandmother died by that time. Quite a tough road they took to get back home.

  2. Not many, 23 years of occupation by Ukraine was one of the worst things that happened to Crimea.

  3. 65% of Crimean population are Russians and about 80-90% of Russian ethnicity despite their actual nationality. Why on Earth, these people wouldn't like Russia, it's the Homeland of theirs?

  4. Да стали жить лучше, а главное свободнее. Крым 23 года гнил заживо под Украинской оккупацией.

  6. 20 January 1991 in Crimean autonomy referendum 94.30% Crimeans voted YES with turnout 81% answering question: Do you support re-establishing the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic as a subject of the Union SSR and a participant of the Union Treaty? Which means leaving Ukraine and reunite with Russia.

  7. ​ @adamhall5298  Ukrainian independence referendum was falsified in Crimea. There were people from Ukraine voting in Crimea but not living there and even with those votes the FOR independence has lost in Crimea, so Ukrainian government just throw "NO votes" away. Votes FOR 55% with turnout 65% in Crimea, where all the other regions voted 83-98% FOR with turnouts 75-97%. Now try to deflect math. Where did 10-30% turnout go in Crimea?
