You always said Russia do propaganda, but Ukraine do it too..

If Crimeans and other east ukraine people want to join Russia, let them be..
it's their right, they feel closer to Russia than Ukraine
Uhh Crimeans voted to re-join Russia after it was obvious Ukraine was going to 'Donbass' them all....

Crimea was first settled by the Greeks 2000 years ago and then by the Byzantine empire and then controlled by Venetians through till medieval times. It was then Conquered by the Mongols, then mostly settled by Crimean Tatars in the sphere of Ottoman influence. It was then annexed by the Russians in the 1700s. The Ukrainian population of the peninsula has never been over 25%. It's been Russian dominated since 1900s when the Russian population outgrew the Crimean Tatars. This is why the majority of the population want to be part of Russia. For anyone to think Crimea belongs to Ukraine is totally ignorant of history.
Go dig up your cousins from around Bakhmut vatnik filth
@@pogo8050 you cant handle the truth so respond with a cope
@@grecovevo2416 the truth is of course that the majority of Crimea supported joining Ukraine in the collapse of the Soviet Union. There are plenty of Russian speakers in the rest of Ukraine and they’re fighting tooth and nail to keep the invasion out. Russia doesn’t have the right to take those territories either.
Так причём тут история?
@@pogo8050 that is straight lie. majority of crimea didn't support joining the Ukraine.
Nationality?
*Russian*
Occupation?
*No, just visiting*
@Kristian only reason crimea was given to ukraine back in the soviet times is because of it's proximity. And it remained like that even after the collapse of soviet union because ukraine was suppose to be a really close russian ally so they been allowed to keep crimea despite population there being mainly russian. No one who knows at least a little bit of history cannot say that is was an occupation.
@Kristian by your logic it would mean that uyghur autonomous region and tibet is inseparable part of china despite them being ethnichaly and culturaly vastly different from them and if they were to decide to gain independence, they would have no right to do so. It's baseless to say that all borders are unchangeable in any circumstance.
@Kristian dude, just because previous administration gave it to them, it doesn't means it has to be that way till the eternity. There are simple facts here, crimea prodominantly russian? Yes. Crimae was just an autonomous region of ukraine and wasn't even the core country? Yes. Countries can decide to revoke their previous policies and do something else? Yes. I mean whats even the argument here? Even the people in crimea doesnt wants ukraine...
The Crimea is russian, 300 years russian-osman wars do it true. Bones millions russian soldiers in the crimea earth.

Giving out Crimea to Ukraine was a terrible mistake that Khrushchev did. At that time Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union and nobody thought the USSR is going to collapse. When the collapse happened, a territory with the majority of Russian population and strategically important to Russia's security ended up being a part of another country.
Если вспомнить о национальности Хрущева, то тут сразу понятно становится, почему он передал Украине Крым.
@@Dron_Gamer Этот даун ещё и сибирь кукурузой засеил ))))

That's not quite right. it was the Government of the failed USSR led by Mikail Gorbachev that provided Russia and the other 14 republics the opportunity to grow and prosper with the rest of the World. Putin knows his control of Russia and the other 14 countries maintains the regions isolation and his personal wealth. Unfortunately for the Russian people Putin's expansionist crusade reduces any possibility of Russia's and the Worlds security.
10:15 they talk about how Crimea is primarily an advantageous location for military operations. This was made in 2019, and in 2022 we see that it was 100% correct
He was obviously planning this attack for some time... also would explain the bridge connecting Russia directly to Crimea... chilling
Meanwhile, EU /NATO twiddled thumbs and imposed ineffective sanctions since 2014........... Chilling
No need to wait the future, just look at a map. It was really obvious, even more since the bridge. On the other hand, I am surprised that they dont attack also by transnistria, it is surely not to wake up the moldavians

"Soviet elite" this sentence right here is almost a spit on marx face lmao
It's a bastardization of "Soviet", most of the elites were created by enclosure (the privatization of formerly public goods) in the 90's, after the USSR split; to comply with international loan requirements. It was an international scheme that worked well as it created local power brokers they could play against each other.

Okay, that 15 minutes intro was fine. Where's the actual movie about life in Crimea?
@MR PIMP That and the hike in youth extremism in Ukraine. Apart from the rich guy, the lion sanctuary, or whatever that zoo was, gave a pretty bleak picture about how the Crimean economy took a hit due to travel blockade and international sanctions. To this day, any person who travels to Crimea, devoid of political motivation, is treated somewhat as persona non grata if they later enter Ukraine. At the end of the day, politicians sip on their Scotch while the people get f'd over the dispute; losing access to fresh water in the process - that's a great strategy for wining hearts and minds I'm sure.

In fact, the opponent himself said that he wanted to hit Lebedev "but not here." Lebedev was outraged. His opponent, Polonsky, who is accused of fraud with the construction of real estate, began to threaten Lebedev. I think Lebedev has more conscience and human dignity. But Lebedev is not the kind of person who lives with fears. He immediately went into action.

It's the same with Iraq. As an Arab, I can tell you that many Iraqis that sided with the American invasion and occupation of their country feel the exact same way now.

@@Tohdette unfortunately most of the middle east requires a ruler with a iron fist because of religious violence
@@missourimongoose8858 I swear to you that is not true, it is a misconception used by dictatorships and their supporters to justify their rule.
The Islamic region has been a unified powerful empire since 600AD with the Rashidun caliphate, the Umayyad Dynasty, the Abbasid Dynasty, and the Ottoman empire.
The reason Iraq is a failed state was because the objective of the American Invasion was to destroy Iraq. In other words, their mission was a success.
Before the American invasion, and this is as recently as my father's life time, when our parents went to Iraq, there were literally zero sectarian tensions between Iraqi Sunnis and Shias. They married into each other's families, both served in the police and military, both were equal citizens. The American invasion caused the civil war and the subsequent sectarian blood bath.
@@Tohdette I was in Iraq man and the shias and sunnis fight amongst themselves far more than fighting American troops and they both fought the kurds and yazzidis, its like that all over the middle east, Islam is far from a religion of peace and the middle east is far from peaceful
@@missourimongoose8858 That is after the war, not before.
It is not like that all over the Middle East. That is simply not a factual statement. I'm not saying this just to argue.
Islam is not a religion of peace or violence, its a religion that is practiced by peaceful and violent people (just like any other religions).
Middle East is not peaceful or violent. If you invade, occupy, destroy, dismantle, sanction, blockade countries, they end up in a very dire state. The Middle East didn't just magically become what it is today. It was the British Empire and the French that turned the Ottoman Empire into 22 different war torn countries through sabotage, infiltration, military interference, occupation, and installment of corrupt dictatorships and monarchs.
I know you have a perspective, but it is based on your observation of what you see in front of you...I recommend adding historical context to your way of thinking so that you can be more fact based when you make an argument (again, not saying this to pick a fight).

The Crimean peninsula has long suffered from water shortages, but these are now often exacerbated by the ever-more frequent winters with little to no rain or snow. In the last several months, under Russian occupation, those difficulties have become critical: according to Russian officials, the region has seen its reserves of potable water decline by 60 percent and will entirely run out of supplies of this critical natural resource sometime in July or August (Gazeta.ua, May 21).

As a Crimean (even though i don't live there anymore) I can say that the sentiment of the zoo keeper is a very common one, especially among business owners. Knew lots of people who had pretty successful booming businesses that are now bankrupt, and many of my peers don't stay to study in Crimea, but choose to either to go to Ukraine or Moscow to study. Crimea has become a nomansland, it's not Ukraine anymore, but also not fully Russia.
P.S: my former best friend,( we grew up in Sevastopol together), chose to go to Kharkiv to study, because there are no prospects in Crimea, and well, today (march the 2nd) her university was bombed by oh so friendly russian missiles.
Edit: it wasn't her uni, but the city where she attends uni. Srry the building just looked like a typical university but it was in fact an administration building.

It’s not hard to navigate, the invading army is wrong. No one attacked Russia. Putin controls his media so you will mostly get his story.

Crimea isn't Russia anymore than its Ukraine. Was Ukraine's under the USSR administration of which Putin worked for.

The guy who got punched is Sergei Polonskiy, also a millionaire/billionaire (at least back then). He built one of the towers in Moscow-City. Later went bankrupt. Was charged with appropriating peoples funds. Bought an island in Cambodia and was hiding there for couple of years, so also a pretty interesting character.

Yeah, his argument was basically "I thought I would get richer, now my business is failing"
What a bourgeois perspective.
Nothing much. Common people love Russia and love Putin even more so nobody really cares about freedom of speech. Water supply problems are still relevant. In some regions running water is time limited. Quite recently in Yalta for example people had access to water for only 3 hours per day, hear the situation has improved. On the bright side Putin really throws a lot of money here. Although people like me don't see much of it, the infrastructure has really improved so I guess that's something. The corona didn't really have an impact here if any, perhaps even benefited the tourism because people on mainland had no other options except Sochi and Crimea. Still to me it feels like there're used to be more people coming here before Russia, others have different opinions so idk. That's pretty much sums up.
Of course it's not Moscow or St. Petersburg here. Even essential goods are kinda overpriced, more so during summer, pay could be higher, but folk seems like okay with that.
So yea, that's my take on it.
Putin has done nothing for Crimea. All he does is grab land to make himself feel great. All macho but nothing to develop and modernise the country. His loyalists are equally as dumb and insecure like their leader.
All good things come to an end.

Dude... this is the precursor to the Ukraine invasion. It was written on the wall all these years. Watching this again really send the chills down my spine.
No. It was the 2014 Maidan coup backed by U.S. that installed Nazis in their government and military. Since then they persecuted the ethnic Russians that's why they wanted to rejoin Russia and Putin stepped in and help save them. Watch Ukraine on Fire documentary.
You read my mind

I didn't realise how beautiful Crimea was
It sure is, but I think the video is about a bit more than that....I personally finished the video thinking about a bit more than how beautiful it was or the nice weather.....
Looks ugly to me
Russian Crimea is beautiful! Much better than LA.
March 32 Nobody on earth besides maybe some celebrities think that LA is beautiful
Yeah that's why Russian stole it shame 😒 shame 😔

@Thinker , but this is not only in Russia, it is everywhere! Especially in usa, in eu, lol.
@Thinker , idiotic thoughts. You just consentrate on Russia, not more. You can not see deeply
Let them come and try to take it we aren't Ukraine, Russia would be a decimated crater if they tried an occupation of U.S. territory and they know it.
5:00 The outrageous act of Ukraine in 2014 - the water blockade of Crimea, “its” citizens - contradicts European norms - condemning and prohibiting isolating people from water sources. This is a crime against humanity.

The thing is... that he has no idea what would happen to him if that territory would still be a part of Ukraine... he looks on his own wealth only, but unfortunetly that's not the only case.
"Unfortunately, I didn't appreciate what we had"....says it all, really
Yup. I wonder if that tiger guy’s still alive...with strict Russian laws about freedom of speech and all
Crimea is Ukraine according to the international law. I am not going to comment on human rights issue because there are no human rights in russia.

He's talking about medium range ballistic missiles, on top of the S-400.
3M-14 Kalibr cruise missile has a maximum range of 2500 km, more than the distance Crimea-Paris, as represented on the document seen at 9:57
@Сладенький Because Putin panics when somebody has a firecracker at the Russian border. He starts shouting how NATO is a threat when similar systems were setup at the Syrian/Turkish border etc. Any sane country would build up defenses. Russia too, NATO too. Only Putin is a crybaby about it. Mostly to scare Russians into thinking they need to give up their pensions to buy more rockets.
@@QnA22 Only Putin is a crybaby about having foreign military buildup on his border you say ??? what kind of bullshit nonsense are you on about ....do you remember the Cuban missiles crisis of the 1960's between the USA and the USSR for having soviet missiles in Cuba ? Its nearly started WW3, with America threatening war if the missiles were not withdrawn...and you call Putin a crybaby !! You need to get in the real world and not live in a fantasy world.

I'll tell you as a Russian we are not afraid of anything, if Russia is destined to die we will destroy as many people as possible from the Anglo-Saxon world. during the nuclear winter, nothing on the planet will grow for at least 10 years, everyone will die out
It's not Putin's Crimea. It's Russian Crimea. Shame on such titles.
