Russia claims it annexed Crimea? What a rave! Official and not official 
points of view tell that the people of Crimea solved their destiny 
themselves, holding the referendum.

Putin did nothing to capture Crimea -- Crimea actually suddenly falls on 
his head. However Putin prevented bloodshed on the peninsular, according 
Dombass scenario.

  RB>  By the way, the legitimate owners of Crimea are the Tatar Khans.
  RB> Catherine the Great took it from them by military force several
  RB> centuries ago.

The Tatar conquered Crimea in the same merciless way as the Golden Horde 
conquered Russia in 13th century. To be exact, they cut throats and 
erased the people who lived there before them.
When Russians came there was no Tatar genocide, despite the fact that 
the Tatar invaded often into Russia and it was the main reason for 
capturing the peninsular.

So, after that the Tatar started to serve to Catherine the Great and 
Russia. During three centuries many Russians have migrated  to Crimea - 
that is why it became mainly Russian. After 1990 those Tatars who had 
been deported from the Crimea in 1944, under the pretext they helped 
Hitler in WW2, were allowed to return back into Crimea. But even after 
that the Tartar are 14 percent of the present Crimean population.

Bye, Robert!
