No, the russian mentality implies that what was taken with blood, will be given back with blood. Russia had payed for Crimea with hundreds of thousands of soldiers over XVIII-XX centuries. Will anybody raise the stake  to pay similar price for Crimea?
By the way, my grandfather, commander of the mortar battery, had been wounded in Crimea in 1944. So I feel personal satisfaction from returning Crimea back to Russia.


I've posted the same thing, in terms of Russian attitude and mentality.  It was dismissed then so your perspective will be dismissed now. :)

As for BBC reporter: he serves Britain's interests which don't coincide with creating the unbiased picture in international affairs. Information technology is simple. While you have, let's say, 80% of supporting Russia, the reporter will talk mainly with 20% of opposite views, and mention about the prevailing majority by the way. The same was with Crimean Tatars, the reporter will talk only with pro-Ukrainian men ignoring the others (Tatars are divided roughly 50 by 50, but nobody knows the accurate numbers).
Rules of game are well known and not going to be changed soon. It's OK when you realize the game  :)


I will have to agree with moby.  The BBC may have a British perspective, because its reporters are usually British, raised in their culture, attending their schools, but it doesn't represent British interests, whatever you mean by that.
After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

Since Russia sent its troops into Crimea in late February 2014, a total of 43 local activists have been abducted in the Kremlin-occupied territory — apparently by the Russian authorities and their accomplices.

Eighteen of those who were abducted are still missing. Six of them have been found dead.

These are the findings of a new report presented on March 23 by Crimea SOS, a Ukrainian human rights advocacy group, which collected the data based on media reports, testimony from freed abduction victims, and the statements of relatives of the abducted people.
