#2 Actually Crimea was never Ukranian. Not under the Tsars when Russai defeated the Tatars who were occuppying it. Not under Lenein and Stalin. Not even in the times of Kievan Rus (even if it briefly occuppied the Northen Third) before it was destroyed by the Mongols. It was only a such Nikita Serguievitch Kroutchev who in order to get the support of the Ukranian big cheese in his struggle agaisnt his rivals gave it to Ukrania.
