West attempts to diminish Russia’s role in WWII - DM
http://rt.com/politics/162020-west-russia-shoigu-war/

Quote
“Today, when the West is trying to diminish the heroism demonstrated by the Soviet people in times of the Great Patriotic War, we must be especially careful with our history in order to keep the priceless experience of our fathers and forefathers, and pass it to the younger generation,” Shoigu said at the opening of a conference on military history in Sevastopol, Crimea.

...

The conference opened by Shoigu was dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Crimea from Nazi forces. The minister said that the operation was a brilliant victory – while the Wehrmacht took 250 days to capture Sevastopol the Soviet Army liberated the whole peninsula in just 35 days.

The first flight is scheduled on June 11. The new airline plans to offer seats at least 15-20 percent lower than an average economy class fare with Aeroflot. Like many budget airlines extra services will come at a price, making the maximum fare $135, for the three hour flight.

Dobrolet was granted its operating certificate on May 19, and has available two Boeing 737 NG jets, each able to carry 189 passengers, and a single Russian built Sukhoi SSJ-100 Superjet.

That's why Valtsman (aka Poroshenko) is so bent on getting Crimea:

Quote
Way beyond the established fact of an Atlantic push against Russian western borderlands, Ukraine remains a catfight of local oligarchies. No wonder the new Ukrainian president is also an oligarch; the 7th wealthiest citizen in the land, who owns not just a chocolate empire, but also automotive plants, a shipyard in Crimea and a TV channel. The only difference is that he’s a NATO oligarch

Kremlin ready for Ukraine lawsuit over Crimea – head of administration

The Kremlin is ready for Ukraine’s lawsuit over Crimea’s incorporation by Russia, ITAR-TASS quoted Sergey Ivanov, the head of the Kremlin administration, as saying on Monday. “We will be waiting for a lawsuit in this case” if Pyotr Poroshenko, who is leading in Ukraine’s Sunday presidential elections, is going to file it, Ivanov told journalists. He also said that Kiev owes Russia $3.5 billion for natural gas supplies.

I think Ukraine would need to start explaining how they got Crimea in the first place.

Just image:
Your honour, this man has illegally seized my car. Yes, it is true, I stole it from him 5 years ago, but during this time I have grown attached to it so much, that I now consider it to be my own and demand that it is returned to me!

Don't use "AR Crimea" when you are talking about modern republic. AR Crimea doesn't exist anymore, there is a Republic of Crimea since 11 March 2014. This difference is pretty significant because the RoC is a real parliamentary republic with a full set of all government institutions. In contrast, ARC had only an imitation of parliamentarism.
