Twonkybot, it seems you live in informational vacuum.
I hope you know (or don't?) that the referendum about consolidation is finished. Results of this referendum: attendance is 83.01%, 97.47% of the people of Crimea voted for the uniting. More information (Russian): Референдум о статусе Крыма (2014)
I know it's hard to believe that Russian people can do something different, unlike European propaganda has been portraying them for the last 500 years.
