Crimean autonomy within Ukraine was created in 1991, inactive as the Crimean Autonomous Socialist russian Republic, but 1 year later the ultimate Council of Crimea adopted the Constitution of Crimea, in which it proclaimed independence, but did not approve Kiev. In 1998 it was accepted that Crimea remained in Ukraine, enjoying the privileges of the autonomous republic, while Ukraine was considered the only state language of autonomy. The annexation of the peninsula did not change its position in a legal global sense, as the UN papers treat the Republic of Crimea as a territory temporarily occupied by Russian armed forces.
Crimea was handed over to the Ukrainian SRR by Moscow in 1954 on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Perejaslav settlement. The decision was signed by Nikita Khrushchev, a Ukrainian of origin, who then headed the Communist organization of the russian Union. This decision was changed by Putin, utilizing historical half-truths and lies, recognising Crimea as indigenous Russian land or claiming that after the dissolution of the USSR, Crimea was cut off from Russia against the will of its inhabitants.
Russia
Crimea was subordinate to Russia in 1783 after Pothimkin's triumph over the Osmans. Crimea was never no man's land, and the colourful political past of the peninsula dates back to the seventh – sixth century before Christ. The Taurs camped here, the Kimers settled in, the Scythians lived here. The Greek colonies, which were later disowned by Roman factories, were built here over the centuries by the Byzantine footheads. In the 13th century, the Tatars invaded, and 200 years after them the Turks. Thus, as Bohdan Cywiński wrote, “the intercontinental boundary point. It has been the settlement area of various peoples for at least 20 centuries. Subsequent waves of different civilizations and cultures flowed and flowed, each of which could leave any permanent, though hard to identify traces today. The Crimean identity is not only the fruit of the Golden Orda invasion."
The Russianification of Crimea was initiated by Catherine the Great, proclaiming freedom of religion of Islam and, at the same time, "take up posts" of muslim clergy. This eliminated the Crimean spiritual leaders from the ellipse of opponents of the Tsarica. The social elite of Crimea has been given position court offices, equivalent Russian elite.
Year 2014
In 2014 Crimea was annexed by the Russian Federation and renamed the unrecognised global community of the Republic of Crimea. The submission of Moscow to Crimea was a key component of Putin's plan to reconstruct the russian Empire. British historian Timothy Snyder wrote: “Putin presented the annexation of Crimea as a mystical individual transformation: a triumphant transition to eternity. Crimea must become part of Russia – he explained – due to the fact that a 1000 years ago the erstwhile Russian chief was baptized there: Vladimir/ Vladimir". The imperial annexation of Crimea became the overture of the invasion of Ukraine 8 years later.
Russian regulation in Crimea lasted 200 years, 10 times little than the past of Crimea. And it cannot be hidden that for the Tsar, “white” or “red” Crimea he was always a trouble. He was a problem for Stalin, who ordered to deport the Tartars from Crimea in 1944, accusing them of collaborating with the Nazis. At the time, 200,000 people were taken out, and they were not allowed to return until 1991. In 1994, a Budapest Memorandum was signed, in which Russia, the USA and the United Kingdom guaranteed Ukraine territorial integrity in exchange for the transfer of Russia's atomic arsenal. 20 years later, Russia broke the deal.
Despite the position of Ukrainian legal entity, Russia's naval navy was stationed in the territory of Crimea at naval bases: Sevastopol and Theodosia. Russia leased airports and polygons, and Ukraine agreed to build military installations, the presence of 25 1000 soldiers, weapons warehouses; warships and aircraft. atomic weapons have been decommissioned. In 2010, Russia extended its lease to 2047.
The Hymn of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea approved the ultimate Council of the Republic of Crimea in 2000. The melody was composed by Alemdar Karamanov (1934 – 2007), while the words were written by Olga Gołubiew, winning the competition and defeating 60 another authors.
