re: #220 Sergey Romanov

Moreover, even if one assumed for a nanosecond that there were real “referendums”, they weren’t about joining Russia, were they?

The Russians were always in control of this imbroglio, every step of the way.

This may sound harsh, but I thought Ukraine was a real sovereign country with its own Constitution and parliament. Perhaps the ones who want Russian Federation rule should individually join the RF?
