So at the very least I can at least worry about the environment, right?
Of course you can. Only let me tell you about two facts. The longest trolleybus road in the world is between Simferopol and Yalta in Crimea. It was built in 1959 in order to provide resort visitors with a means of transportation between Simferopol railway station and mountаinous resort towns and villages of Crimean South Coast while preserving the unique healing air of the region, which is a mixture of fragrances of steppe grass, high-grown relict pine woods, phytoncides of seaweed and light ions of oxygen from the sea.
So it's a hint to reflect on how the Soviet power were concerned about preserving the unique Crimean environment.
On the other hand let me remind you that not so long as in 2005 Yulia Timoshenko being then a prime minister of Ukraine and now the main candidate for the Ukrainian presidency, actively proposed a plan of building a huge oil - refinery in Crimea near Feodosia which is a place famous with its golden sand beaches.
I leave it up to you to decide which country is more environmentally concerned about Crimea - Russia the legal successor of the USSR, or Ukraine which has done almost nothing in recent years for development of the region.
