Poroshenko: “Crimea has become the military operation base for Russia”
During his speech at Yalta European Strategy conference Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that Crimea has become a base for Russia’s military operations in its global confrontation with the West and is being used to destabilize the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. “Illegal annexation by Russia of the Crimea without immediate strong response from the international community encouraged Kremlin to go further,” he said suggesting that Russia’s decision to send men to Syria was brought about by Western indecisiveness.

Russian FSB continues terrorizing Crimean Tatars
The FSB have carried out three searches of private homes with the aim seemingly of intimidating the friends and neighbours of Ali Asanov, one of the Crimean Tatars in custody on legally absurd charges together with Crimean Tatar leader Akhtem Chiygoz.
Eskender Bariev, Coordinator of the Crimean Tatar Rights Committee reports that FSB officers turned up at around 9 a.m. on Sept 8 at the homes of two Crimean Tatar families who are friendly with the Asanovs and at the home of the Asanovs’ (non-Crimean Tatar) neighbours in the village of Urozhainoye. Despite the obvious targeting of people linked with Asanov, the search warrants were supposedly issued in connection with the theft of a moped and phone.

3 Ukrainian soldiers disappeared near Crimean border
On Friday night, three Ukrainian soldiers, who serve near the border between Ukraine and Crimea, have disappeared during their free time off the base. Their disappearance may be connected to two cars that reportedly illegally entered Ukraine from the occupied peninsula that night. Their disappearance is being investigated.
Aksyonov barred from entering China
The self-proclaimed head of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov and official Crimean delegation were unable to take a part in Beijing International Economic Forum due to the Western sanctions. Chinese authorities refused to let them enter China, while Chinese state companies are not willing to work with Crimean companies, one of forum’s organizers said.

Ukrainian & Crimean Tatar pushed out of schools in Russian-occupied Crimea
18 months after Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, not one class of the over 18 thousand children beginning school on Sept 1, will be with instruction in Ukrainian. Even in traditionally Crimean Tatar schools, students now study in either Crimean Tatar or Russian, with Russian predominating. The occupation regime’s education minister Natalya Goncharova claims that this is all determined by parental demand. Parents, and Crimean Tatar commentators speak of serious pressure on parents. Other methods are also being applied, including the lack of textbooks for children to study in Crimean Tatar.

As per the latest Crimean census (conducted in 2014), 84.16% of the residents of the Crimean Federal District uses Russian as a home language. So it is no surprise that Russian is the preferred language in the Crimean schools. Still, it is possible to study mostly or entirely in the Crimean Tatar or Ukrainian languages.
Now compare this situation to that in Ukraine. Russian language is almost completely excluded from the schools in Ukraine, and ethnic Russian children are not given the right to learn the Russian language. Even in provinces such as Kharkov (where 90% of the population is not fluent in Ukrainian), Russian is under a de facto ban in the schools.
All this shit about Russian langage has only been used by propagandist... to have an apologise to put the mess...
Most of Ukrainian speak Russian / Ukrainian and had never any problem ... Is Ukrainia belong to Russia ? No ... And anyway who care about Russian langage ...
But communist way like to force to apply ... Explain us ... so why all country inside the CCCP .... in school , the second langage was forced to be Russian ?
Where you go with Russian ?? Nowhere ... Where you go if you learn English / Spain or French ... ? 75% of globe....
Anyway now with the last laws voted in Ukraina ..... PoutinoGaz is blocked to make East annexion.... and i want to see now really how he will escape about all this shit ... during this time ... crisis continue to hit massively Russia ... but of course ... more easy to deny .
If you come to tell me that this is worse in Europe with immigrant ... Germany accepted them to get new workers as brith is lowering too fast... and need 300.000 workers.... not like in Russia ... how much jobs lost since the Crimea crisis ?? I mean real job ... not the fake one like the build of Sotchi where 75% of workers had never been paid ... or dissappear ... or kidnapped to work for mafia group LoL ...
And Poutine is no nice for their citizen ... yes .. where are the laws against the corruption
Hahahaha in the pocket of Poutine ... more corruption = more power ... as money has more value ... bigger the corruption = more easy to keep people in your pocket !
In one of the maps which Nemo posted above (percentage with Russian as a mother tongue), it is clear that the Ukrainian authorities are trying to over-estimate the number of the Ukrainian speakers, and underestimate the number of Russian speakers. The census authorities interpreted "mother tongue" as the language spoken by the parents or the "original language" of the ethnic group (which is once again a wrong, as mother tongue of the Eastern Ukrainians is Russian, and not Ukrainian). So in provinces such as Poltava (where around 90% of the population is mainly Russian speaking) we have the Russian percentage at just 9%. Also, speakers of Surzhyk were added with the numbers for Ukrainian.
As per the census authorities, 90% of the Poltavans speak Ukrainian. But you will be lucky, if you find a single person fluent in that language, in any of the major urban areas.

Thank you, XEPBAM, for bringing forth this excellent sample of anti-Russian propaganda, which utilises perversion and mis-representation of truth.
Let me first address two fragments, before I put this piece into a historical and statistical perspective.
So true, Bryant, but Ukrainian overseas masters don't want to notice that. By their logic, if injustice is directed against Russians, then it's completely fine.

A previously highly-politicised by Ukraine murder case of two Crimean Tatars took an interesting turn.
The accused is a Ukrainian citizen and the murder was committed on domestic grounds - over a woman. Even the Crimean Tatar extremist organisation Mjelis acknowledged it:
http://www.vz.ru/news/2015/8/30/763999.html
Also in this news - 450 Crimean Tatars - a half of those who last year left Crimea under the influence of anti-Russian propaganda, have returned home and are being assisted in getting Russian citizenship.

Crimean Tatars launch a national television channel "Millet", which will be transmitted in Russia, Turkey, and worldwide. The thing is, this time it's the "wrong", not US-granted, Crimean Tatars doing the transmissions, so Ukraine already announced that they will be... umm... jamming the satellite signals.

The founder of the Koktebel Jazz Party, the General Director of MIA "Russia today" Dmitry Kiselev expressed gratitude for the courage of the musicians who came to the Festival in Crimea.
"Without the courage of musicians who came here from all over the world, from five continents, it (the festival - ed.) would be impossible. For this reason, we we send you all our thanks and our warm Koktebel salute, " said Kiselev in the beginning of the final concert of the festival on Sunday, and thanking those who supported the event, coming at him every year since 2003.

The 5th annual Koktebel Jazz Party in Crimea was a success, despite Ukraine issuing a sanctions warning to all foreign performers attending it. Really, who cares about any warnings (or anything those coup-installed criminals say) coming from Kiev these days...
Lol... sanctions by Ukraine? A few months ago, they issued sanctions to a few foreign vessels, after they docked in the Crimean port of Sevastopol. But seriously, who cares about the Ukrainian sanctions? The economy is contracting by around 20% per year, and the average wages have dropped to around $50 per month. In two years time, Ukraine will be even worse than Somalia.

yuhuuuuu..... Crimea is a centre of pro-Russian sentiment, which can spill into separatism. The region - a peninsula on Ukraine's Black Sea coast - has 2.3 million people, a majority of whom identify themselves as ethnic Russians and speak Russian.
The region voted heavily for Viktor Yanukovych in the 2010 presidential election, and many people there believe he is the victim of a coup - prompting separatists in Crimea's parliament to vote for joining the Russian Federation and a referendum on secession.

Today is a National Holiday in Russia - the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation.
Crimea received a gift from Mexico - a Russian tricolour measuring 500m2 and weighing 100kg, made of silk. The flag was sent from Mexico via New-York, Frankfurt-am-Main and Moscow. It was unfurled on the central Lenin Square in Simferopol.

Member of European Parliament Aymeric Chauprade said he considers the events that transpired on the peninsula in 2014 as a historical reunification of Crimea with Russia.
The politician said he believes that this tendency will continue to improve, and that he considers the events that transpired on the peninsula in 2014 as a historical reunification of Crimea with Russia.
"In my opinion, that event was doubly legitimate," Chauprade said. "It was legitimate from a historical standpoint, considering how Crimea was a part of Ukraine for a relatively short period of time. It was also legitimate in terms of elections because there was a referendum regarding the issue, a referendum that I attended as one of the few international monitors who observed the event. During that referendum, which was marked by a high voter turnout, 97% of voters supported the peaceful reunification with Russia. And I believe that eventually all honest, unbiased and free parliamentarians will realize that the future of Crimea is intrinsically linked with Russia."
...
"Crimean Tatars comprise about 8-10% of Crimea's population and their participation in the referendum wasn’t exactly active. Still, you can't say that the majority of Tatars were against the reunification with Russia," Chauprade said. "There were definitely attempts to manipulate the segments of the Crimean Tatar population that are most susceptible to the influence of Islamic ideas that are often employed by the US and Turkey. We’ve seen how the US and Turkey attempted to use them just like in the Caucasus region or in Central Asia. Or like in Xinjiang, where the US and Turkey seek to manipulate the Uyghurs in a similar fashion."
"As a historian and a political scientist I have a habit of doing a comparative study when reviewing some historical issue," Chauprade explains. "I worked on the issue of Chechnya and I remember how the US played a pivotal role in arming the Chechen rebels since the early 90s. Now we see the same thing happening in other parts of the world like in the Middle East. The Islamic State of today was born thanks to the US policy of using Islamism to advance its interests, and it resulted in the destabilization of nation-states. If we want to improve international stability, we must help reinforce the nation-states. Russia upholds this perception of international law, to stabilize the nation-states against all these destabilizing games the US plays with Islamism and mafias. And when you consider the Crimean issue, not to mention other important geopolitically important regions, one must always remember the dangerous and destabilizing games that the US plays behind the scenes."

Good to see that Russia is giving Crime and so many freedoms that they are actually "allowing" someone to travel there. As opposed to, I don't not, just allow people to come and go as their please.
Lithuania is going out of its way to be a US bootlicker, even breeching prior EU agreements.
Russian citizen, who lives in Kaliningrad was denied transit visa (it's treated as Schengen visa) on the grounds that in his passport, issued in December 2013, states his place of birth as "Crimean Republic, Russia" (well, it would be if he was born before Khrushov's illegal transfer of Crimea tu Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic). They refused the visa saying that they doubt the authenticity of the passport. Earlier it was stated by EU that visiting of Crimea would not affect issuing of Schengen visas to Russian citizens
