Thank you so much for this super informative post Crocodile, and for trying to be objective too.

Attention all English speaking lurkers in this forum, read his article, you will learn plenty!

I didn't know all these things about the Crimean Tatars and their importance. I just automatically think of Tatars as Russians but these people are much more complex than that.

I can't help but have the feeling that maybe this project of a Ukranian state based on the Ukrainian soviet republic was never realistic! If they split it up, then everybody might end up being better off. Some in partnership with Russia and some with the EU or maybe even with Turkey and the other Black Sea countries.

In trying to find a compromise they must seriously disappoint one group or another, and then the on-off Russia vs EU circus goes on and on...
