Scott, thanks for the historical notes on Ukrainian treatment of Crimea. I had no idea things had gotten that awful. I had heard about the water problems, but never knew Ukraine was the reason for it. You know, it might be helpful if more people knew that the 2014 referendum was actually the ~second~ time Crimea voted to leave Ukraine for Russia? Yep, in 1994 they actually drew up a constitution and elected a President - Yuriy Meshkov - who was ardently Pro-Russia. More can be learned about it, here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26681653
tHANK you for this article scott, i really know little of Crimea. I am distressed to hear of nazis in ukraine. I wish peace and prosperity to these people and the russian peopl;e.
There have always been Nazis in Ukraine. They were backed by the United States when it overthrew their government in 2014. I am shocked that you just discovered this, but glad you finally did. Western mainstream media worked very hard to hide the facts about Ukraine from Americans.
I'm a Czech commie in really socialist Nicaragua, Russia's all time ally, and I was taught back in Czechoslovakia as a communist kid, a good Nutzie is a dead Nutzie, but obviously what's going on in that utterly corrupt hellhole is another of human tragedies among Slavic brothers. Of course, the United Satanic America is loudly behind it, the Nutzie cyborgs. But nowadays there are 500 000 fewer of them and counting and over 1.5M wounded, needless to talk about the "N disease" that has spread all across the globe as displaced people.
It's great, it's the freeest country in the world, good modern health care is free, public transport is dirt cheap, no government overreach. The only problem is when one is disabled like me and doesn't have dollars. Why? Come over, my friend, it's very easy and cheap to get a permanent residency, I can assist with that, we love foreigners, it's great for retirement I'm tired and retired, lol, without a pension or any disability benefits, no lol!
Wow! Where exactly? Nicaragua has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. I actually considered somewhere Asia, Malaysia, Laos, the Philippines, even China. I know, God still loves me after 50 years of well-intended adventure.
Y'know, Scott, Crimea was never a part of the Ukraine. Khrushchev only associated it with the Ukraine by putting it in the same political subdivision of the SovU in 1954 and the agreement had a get out of jail free card if Crimea was unhappy with the Ukraine. There was a reason why the Ukraine had to annex Crimea when they left the RF.
Thank you again, Scott, for this lovely series of articles and photos highlighting the relationship between Russia and the countries which have had rugged relationship with Russia and yet are now being financially supported and embraced by Russia and its leader, Putin. I do not want to see Putin through "rose-colored glasses" but I hear, through you and other sources, that Putin is a strong leader who has a genuine commitment to peace and harmony through supporting the rebuilding of war torn countries that have chosen to live in harmony with Russia. I see this concern for peace also exhibited in Putin's commitment to the Minsk Treaty--though Zelensky and the West boycott this solution. Yes, Putin plays easily into the Western idea of a dictatorial thug--but I see that he has used his power to clean up the reign of corrupt oligarchies and I see positive aspects that I would love to see enacted in America. We imagine that we are "free" under our Constitutional protection--even while it is being dismantled and sold away bit by bit. I'm sure Putin has his short comings and power over reaches, but I see a Russia that is far happier and healthier for its people and I know it will be a very strong leader needed who probably will over reach the powers of President in our country to get rid of even a small portion of the evil rot that has taken over here. This person must have a strong spiritual core to even approach this problem and to sustain them in undertaking it. That is why I am working for RFK Jr.
At the height of Maidan the khazar/slav mulatto witch torya said the US was spending $1m a day fueling the uprising, part of the $5b she said the great satan had spent over the years to gain control of Ukraine.
Scott, you are the only peace warrior I’ve ever known. Thank you for sharing your vision and dedication to the truth with us. And being a Cancer, I know you have a long memory. Thank you for exercising that gift and not letting Americans flush every thing down the memory hole! 🙏😍😁🥰
Here here, my friend...lol! I'm a commie one-armed Czech struggling in Nicaragua, willing to have some vacation anywhere, even in Nutzie Ukraine or Russian Crimea. Okay, I hope I won't get killed there, if the wildlife and the jungle haven't killed me here yet....
Hi Jeff Brown, no need to feel jealous..JUST GO, like I did in may 2023, few to Istanbul
then Moscou then Yalta...Nuthin to it..even crossing Kerch Bridge. Met some kind but sad Russians, they lit up when we told them we came to support russia and their president. We got a lot of “WHY DO THEY HATE US?” Tucker is right...if people would just travel to Russia and China and start listening to what Messrs Putin and Xi say they would find some truths you can”t get in the West.
I wish I could. but as one of the millions of working poor in the US, it will never happen. I am 62 and can not retire so I guess I will just have to settle with where I live Saint Petersburg Florida instead of Saint Petersburg Russia :}
Thanks Scott, I really appreciated this piece on Crimea I learned a lot. (Just a quick suggestion you may want to change the date under the picture? "Fatima (left) with the author’s daughter, Victoria. May 2024.")
This story has lessons for everyone no matter what one's allegiance may be. It reads like an Æsopian novela with blunders and other mistakes by both sides. It seems, however, that Crimeans—Russians and Tatars—are faring rather better than borderland Slavs. Could this have something to do with the thirst, passion, and discontent of borderlanders who rule on behalf of ZOGs to the west?
Thank you for this moving story. So good to see Crimea on the mend! When will the vineyards there be restored? I lived in Vienna in the 1970's and had a friend in the Slovak part of then Czechoslovakia. Whenever anyone of us in Vienna visited her, we came back with a few bottles of delicious "Krimsekt" (German for Crimean champagne) with an exquisitely decorated Cyrillic text on the label. Would love to toast a special event with that again!

How is it living in Nicaragua?
It's great, it's the freeest country in the world, good modern health care is free, public transport is dirt cheap, no government overreach. The only problem is when one is disabled like me and doesn't have dollars. Why? Come over, my friend, it's very easy and cheap to get a permanent residency, I can assist with that, we love foreigners, it's great for retirement I'm tired and retired, lol, without a pension or any disability benefits, no lol!
I actually considered Nicaragua in 2000 when I was looking for a new country to live in, but for many reasons ended up in S/E Asia.
You are very fortunate.
Wow! Where exactly? Nicaragua has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. I actually considered somewhere Asia, Malaysia, Laos, the Philippines, even China. I know, God still loves me after 50 years of well-intended adventure.

What a beautiful article, I felt like I was visiting Crimea myself!

Khrushchev was Ukrainian.

Yep, the United Satanic America and the EU-roped are responsible for the massacre, as always!

If 97% of people voted to join Russia, then how were Russian speaking people downtrodden by Ukrainians or anyone?
U-n-i-t-e-d S-t-a-t-e-s.
Your article translated in the Greek language and posred it on my website-blog, Mr. Ritter.
