Noone's going to cleanse them. You know it, they know it, and I know it as well. So stop bullshitting people.

Then why so many people on occupied territories went underground and joined resistance?

P.S. I'm just stating my point. I'm not going to argue with you since you apparently have set your mind to stone about several things that I simply do not agree with.

P.S.S. There was NO invasion, by the way. According to treaty with the Ukrainian government Russia could station up to 25,000 servicemen in Crimea. From a political standpoint Russia did nothing wrong (I'm not questioning abstract morality of the whole situation since I do not believe there is a place for such things in politics - just the so called 'internationa law'). There was a coup in Kiev, the official government was overthrown and some political opportunists seized the power without vote. There was nobody official in Kiev to negotiate with so Russia simply took the necessary actions to protect its assets in Crimea. As for the referendum - it just happenned alongway. That is the consequence of illegal and unconstitutional actions that took place in Kiev.
