of protests on the maidan and the use of force by illegal armed groups of the right sector, the legally elected president yanukovych was overthrown. moreover, nationalists and radicals attacked those returning from kiev to crimea of citizens who spoke out in defense of the constitution. from the very first days, the new kiev government demonstrated complete disregard for the rights of the russian-speaking population of ukraine. the verkhovna rada repealed the law according to which the russian language had a special status in crimea. in the spring of '14 the situation developed dynamically. every day there were events that showed a referendum on the independence of crimea in reunification with russia remains the only way to avoid armed violence in relations between the republic and its inhabitants. simferopoli maidan supporters. prepared
3:35 am
for the physical seizure of power on the peninsula. to protect crimeans , self-defense forces were created with the participation of cossacks, militia and local police. in the last days of february , a new government was formed in crimea, and already in early march its leadership, together with the crimean parliament , turned to the president of russia with a request for assistance in ensuring peace. the appearance of polite people on the peninsula thwarted plans for forceful intervention in the maidan authorities; in kiev they were preparing an airborne assault operation, they wanted to land special forces on the peninsula, strengthen the ukrainian armed forces units there, seize airfields, it was planned to cut

the simferopol-sevastopol and simferopol-yalta highways, and capture the isthmus between crimea and the kerch peninsula. on the evening of march 1, planes. they were already preparing for loading, but after measures taken by russia, the landing was canceled. a referendum on the peninsula on joining russia took place on march 16, 2014. its results changed not only the fate of crimea, but also gave hope to millions of russian-speaking residents of the ukrainian southeast. how the crimean spring changed the course of history in novorossiya in the plot.
3:37 am
political turn, without crimea, ukraine is a body without legs, as hetman skorapatsky said after the revolution of the seventeenth year, but for russia crimea has always been something more than just a support, albeit strategically significant, this peninsula has always remained a sacred territory of meanings, lost as a result of the collapse of the soviet union. what happened in the ninety-first year actually meant a postponed war, a postponed civil war, that’s it. for donbass from the fourteenth this war has already started a year ago, at first more or less locally, and then, as they say, throughout the entire space. in the early nineties , a series of referendums swept across this entire area. in 1994, the donetsk and
3:38 am
lugansk regions voted for the federalization of the russian language and eurasian integration, and crimea , even before the collapse of the union, quite unequivocally spoke out for... disintegrating, crimea was among those regions that sought reunification with the russian federation. you hand over a bridge to russia, well, in principle, we would all, of course, come from there, we probably went out there, we would really like to go there, but what kind of reality do you see today? hundreds of
3:39 am
kilometers of new roads, hospitals, schools, museums and cultural clusters. today crimea has become a real showcase of the capabilities of a large country. after joining russia , large-scale work began in several directions at once: crimea overcame the water blockade and secured complete energy independence, but it all started from the basics, that is, with the integration of the legislative and legal framework. the transition period lasted only 200 days. crimean experience unique, unprecedented, such successful integration of the region cannot be found anywhere else in the world. unity of people's power.
3:40 am
year, militants from the banned right-wing sector attacked crimean anti-maidan supporters who were returning home from kiev on buses. unarmed activists, among them elderly women, were severely beaten. they talked unofficially about the dead. a few days later, on february 26, 2014, thousands of activists gathered at the walls of the supreme council of crimea. in fact, this day was the last in the existence of ukrainian authorities in crimea. and that rally is called the point of no return. it was not possible to hold an extraordinary plenary meeting of the crimean parliament, on the agenda of which was the issue of resignation of the ukrainian government. outside , streams of people jammed together in one heap. russia, ukraine, the legal sector, the organization of the crimean tatar mejlis, banned in the russian federation.
3:41 am
the crowd was barely contained by police cordons, but there were no casualties: two people died. we have been warning the whole world since december. we talked about the fact that an armed seizure of power is taking place in ukraine. we warned that if the power is overpowered, the education that will be formed on the spot. despite the developments in the entire region,
3:42 am
the term novorosiya, forgotten by many, has increasingly begun to be used in its designation. crimea certainly became a precedent for many other, now former regions of southeastern ukraine. despite the fact that crimea had previously gained, as they say, independence, but only because it was laid down in the constitution of the republic of crimea, they still had autonomy, they could do it, we had to come to independence that was not ours. having paid a terrible bloody price for it, yes , when we push the armed formation of ukraine beyond the reach of their artillery, then it will really be possible to level it out, we will calmly restore our region, and it will definitely, as it has always been, be one of the most developed regions russian federation, and these words sound like a forecast, an accurate forecast of the coming spring.
3:43 am
we will talk with our regular expert, historian and political scientist alexander vasiliev. sasha, good afternoon, good afternoon. ukrainian propaganda immediately in the fourteenth year announced that the referendum in crimea took place at gunpoint and... let's say, gave the powers of crimea, throughout all these years, in general, well,
3:44 am
the mood of the majority of voters of the peninsula was completely understandable, in the referendum it was somewhat answer options, people could choose different positions, so to speak, and as if the alternative to direct entry into russia was just a return to that crimean constitution of the year ninety-two, which gave very broad autonomy, which was destroyed by kiev, and of course, what happened in 1914, yes it absolutely... flows smoothly from all previous processes, and if kiev had not known about such sentiments in crimea, then these countermeasures would not have been needed , these permanent appointees were not needed, it was the sbu, yes, which there, so to speak, had enough knitting, opened criminal cases against activists in crimea all these years, as soon as kiev lost its monopoly on force, and on... the peninsula, then it became possible simply free expression of the will of the krivchans, then
3:45 am
we still know very well what kiev was playing on, it played the interethnic card, interethnic hatred, trying to mobilize extremists among the crimean tatars and religious extremists, including from organizations that are banned there not only in russia, but in many countries of the world, and of course there was a very big risk of development and , so to speak, some kind of bosnian scenario, and of course this is natural except for kiev. no one needed what referendums meant, and if more broadly events on the peninsula of those days for donbass, for novorossiya in general, what was the reaction there? coup in kiev, february 23 , 1914, the first day of the russian spring, mass protests began not only in crimea, in crimea then , of course, sevastopol, because power there immediately passed into the hands of the people, so to speak , other cities are heroes and kerch, and my dear odessa, yes, on that day they held mass protests precisely against the coup, and in fact, the russian word
3:46 am
spring was born then, i want give an example, let’s say donetsk, yes, we too, if we remember where it all started. that in sevastopol a people 's governor was proclaimed, well, or rather a people's mayor, yes, but we know that in sevastopol it was then a city of republican significance, and he was equated with a governor, and in the same way in donetsk it also began with the fact that it was declared it means a people’s governor, a people’s governor was declared in lugansk, but these people were thrown into prison, then the ukrainian sbu, this radicalized the protest even more, because they saw that there was no such thing to say, on the part of ukraine there are attempts at negotiations, attempts. somehow solve this by some kind of consensus, no, that is , kiev decided to continue to act only by force, and of course, this example of crimea, especially for donbass, yes, at some point decided to go to the end, it played a huge role role, if the example of crimea, the crimean spring , was so inspiring, why didn’t anything work out in odessa, kharkov, dnepropetrovsk, this is probably the most difficult
3:47 am
question, a question that i think even future historians will struggle with. well, firstly, there are such purely , you know, yes, that crimea is that same peninsula, simple, strategic, i would say some geopolitical, in the narrow sense, moments that are very easily isolated, and especially if you there is dominance in the black sea, and of course, the base of the black sea fleet, in general, is a factor of the fleet, after all, all these nineties, zeros, it played a huge role, that’s why, that was the point, yes, that on the one hand it base, if it’s black... throw the fleet there, and if it’s even worse moreover, to bring some kind of nato fleet there , yes, then this completely changes the balance, so to speak, of forces, it turned out to be very easy to isolate this region purely in power, purely in military terms, of course, other regions simply could not do that with such small forces, which are the first days, so to speak , of the uprising, the second moment, of course , is what we talked about, yes, this is the presence of the fleet and
