Hey, Guys. In the Crimea, most residents wanted to be part of Russia, Russian speaking and all that. I also realise that the majority of people in the Eastern Ukraine want to be part of Russia.
Remember that Stalin gave Crimea to the Ukraine without consulting the inhabitants. They were part of the same country in those day's, anyway.
Those borders were set after the Second World War.
I do realise that redrawing borders in modern Europe is a very, very dangerous thing to do. However, ' die Wende' when the old DDR and FRD formed one country changed the outcome of WW2 in Europe. Things changed. Changing borders in Europe is a very dangerous thing to attempt.
