This allowed many Russians (mostly Russian military personnels) to live in Crimea. So for Crimeans, Ukraine's independence didn't totally isolate them for Russians, unlike most of Ukraine. | |

But it's impossible. However, it's an irrefutable fact that there weren’t any large demonstrations supporting Ukrainian militants in Crimea. There weren’t any protests significant in number in support of Crimea remaining part of Ukraine which makes point 2 not so groundless as it might look at first glance. Here is my website covering different aspects of the conflict in Ukraine. ukr-news-spot.at.ua | |
