yes cover the south caucasus since 2009. in moscow, we're joined by dmitri trenin, director of the carnegie moscow center. he recently published an article in the guardian titled, "the crisis in crimea could lead the world into a second cold war." let's go first to crimea itself. you talk about the vote, what took place, what was the atmosphere and the response right now with this overwhelming vote for secession from ukraine to join russia? about thest thing vote, the result was never in any doubt. the only option essentially on the ballot paper was either you can leave ukraine or join russia. coastals no "no option. " option. can't believe the turnout was as high considering the fact all of the ukrainians living crimea and together they make up more than 30% of the population what cut at the polls. >> can you explain what the question was? what were the questions -- the choices? there were two choices. one was to join russia and the other was to return to the 1992 constitution. [indiscernible] it was overwhelming 97% in joi

i'm from the north caucasus diaspora. last week i attended a conference at george washington university about russia and a certain statistic jumped out at me. plagiarism and russian economic institutions is as high as 70% so how can you tell when u.s. officials go to meet with russian officials, how do you know that these officials are not? >> you can't in fact and this is a real problem. the dead devaluing of educational integrity in russia is a symptom of that decline where there is a culture of corruption that does pervade other things and we understand it or baits industrial and economic sectors but it does have an impact on ancillary sectors. the fact that this is acceptable and university records turn a blind eye tells you everything you need to know about what's for sale and what's not. but i made mention of it when i was giving my presentation this is why statistics in russia at least in part or so suspect because it's not hard to discern who is getting good research in russia particularly when they have 70% of re

first time we're witnessing military situation, military escalation outside of the balkans and the caucasus since the end of the cold war. and now basically military ways of solving problems is quite a shock for european watchers. >> does that make europe more risk averse or more willing to take steps to see military solutions don't continue? their already making an effort that there is something of a--there is more blockages in any possibility to escalate the situation. also the policy is to impose costs on putin to prevent repeat of the situation in the future. i would like to respond to what nicolai is saying, yes, it's true, but putin's military action against ukraine has its roots and sources in russian domestic politics, but this is what they're targeted. they're aimed at incurring costs for putin in the domestic arena by complicating the current regime so that at some point down the road, putin feels more constrained by the economic costs and potential decrease and popularity of his regime. >> nicolai. how do you respond to that? well, the sanctions make sense because it makes him pa

we've seen this in small areas of ca caucasus. >> i think since the disillusi dissolution of the soviet union, russia has been able to manipulate these territories that will stay u unstable. the excuse given is usually similar, they're protecting an ethnic or national minority or russian minority in these places. it's been a tool used, and there has not been a mechanism to resolve or advance these conflicts. and because that have it's a tool that putin continues to use for countries who are looking to the west or to other partnerships more under his thumb of control. at the same time the tactics in crimea are new. this is a piece of territory that is much more significant in the move being made. i don't think it's unfinished business in the sense that this is a piece of land that russia should own and be part of russia. the analogy to kosovo is so disingenuous. there is no ethnic cleansing. if you want to say that ukraine is a nation divided, which i don't gra agree with, but it dos have a new government that is represented by the pro-western side rather than the pro-russia side it woul

i am not sure the situation in the caucasus might tear a thank you deteriorate -- might deteriorate as a consequence of the crimean crisis. what is more probable is the growth of xenophobia which will accompany this frenzy we are observing now. tocould potentially lead deterioration of internal ethnic relations in russia. this is a potential. another unintended consequence , let's waitoccur is and see what happens with the eurasian union, the agreements on the eurasian economic union. it was planned for signature in may. it is not guaranteed this will happen. the will be the content of agreement is not clear, how successful it will be. one more thing which i would probably point out in the context of what he said were the sanctions. right now, you see signs in "obama is not welcome here" as a response to the sanctions imposed on russian leaders. i think this is temporary. it cannot last long. the polarization with the bureaucracy, and not just putin himself, but the top leaders who are usually considered corrupt and inefficient and selfish, that can turnhing against putin politically a

because if you see unlike some russian regions for example caucasus where we had wars, conflicts and very series problems with terrorism, and interethnic conflicts, in crimea until now there was no serious confrontation between different ethnic or religious groups. i think that's why, one of the reasons why tartar, crimean tartar populations were quite loyal to the ukrainian government in crimea because they were in a safe place, they were homing for their life to become better -- they were hoping for their life to become better and there were real opportunities. of course now when we have soldiers on that territory. >> given that and given that the crisis is escalating, what the rest of the world is wondering might happen, this is no longer a safe place, particularly the tartars if they feel that the russians are taking control and their influence is being wiped out, are they looking to move perhaps into ukraine proper? good i know already from the communications, with my friends and because of my professional connections with ukraine, i know that already people are moving. people a

i think it's more about the rest of ukraine, it's about baltic states, it's about caucasus and otherplaces and the russian officials are not hiding it anymore. >> you think this might produce a war eventually? actually? >> what we see in crimea some kind of paramilitary mobz attack -- mobs attacking military operations. in the rest of ukraine. >> no war there? >> no war so far. so far ukrainian government show some restraint not to give this to russia but georgian say for example they don't look for thing being legit, other possibilities that are there. >> how else would you look at what happened today? jennifer glasse just reported ton fact that you saw these ukraine soldiers and sailors just walk away from the naval base. isn't that just surrender? >> it is not surrender. they are not surrenderingto suro russian forces. >> what's the difference? >> the difference is surrender is when you raise your hand and go to your enemy. and leaving the place is different. >> okay. >> what we are seeing there is a provocation or attempts to provoke them to shoot. i cannot describe it any other

it's in the northern caucasus where russia has been battling a ferocious mus political -- muslim insurgency. even as he lines up one more piece or half piece on his chessboard, vladimir putin will find that the price he has paid for it is quite high. let's get started. now for the latest on the ground in the region. we'll take you in a moment to the russian capital moscow, ukrainian capital kiev but go to the contested territory crimea. cnn's diana magnet is at the city of simferopol where people are saying something remarkable. diana, tell us. >> reporter: well, fareed, i'm in the main square at simferopl, the capital of crimea, and this may certainly be staged for the various cameras that have been here. people have been chanting "putin thank you russia putin" waving russian flags. the flags that usually are around the square, crimeaen, russia and ukraine, all the ukrainian ones have been taken away. these people are saying we are not represented by the new government. we fear they will take away our rights and when you say that the ukrainian government has promised not to do away with th

we're going to have a leaner military, we're going to cut back, and you, whether it's the caucasus, iran, going into afghanistan, go all through it, and the united states has paid with money and with blood, and it's time for these people to step forward. the germans said they couldn't do it before because of the treaty they signed after world war ii. that's been abruicated, they're now allowed to do that. it's time for italy, france, england is better, but most of the countries who take advantage of our protection, our protection, our money, to pay their fair share or get out of the way. >> that's right. >> but then we're not in the lead. >> so what? >> they're in their own backyard. >> the reason why they can't shift is because they have shifted all their money to domestic spending, which is what we're doing. >> you can't say that about the germans? >> well, most of europe. that's the point, it comes from a toxic reversal of reality that military supremacy guarantees domestic tranquility. we have a president that sees that in reverse, the idea that community activism means the world won

he has covered the south caucasus since 2009.hy don't you start off by describing to us crimea today. i think most people in the u.s. hardly know it exists. -- it was a part of russia and the russian empire since the 18th century. to be the site of the russian black sea feet. that is always been a part of crimea's history. possibly the highest density of russians in ukraine, and the military history is tied in with their identity. however, crimea has long been the home of another group, a turk group. they were all forcibly removed -- from theet union soviet union. since it was gifted to ukraine in 1954 in both ukraine and russia were soviet republics by -- since then, the population is mixed quite a bit more and there is about a temper sent to 15% of the population that is ukrainian. >> talk about the significance of this vote next weekend. the vote is clearly what everybody is waiting for. there are been rising tensions but in many ways, everyone is waiting until the referendum to see what will happen. the fact is, the referendu

fighters could move easily from syria where some crimean tartars are believed to be fighting and north caucasus war against islamist militants. this is nightmare scenario for president putin it is also a frightening thought for the west, given ukraine's proximity to western europe. >> the fear from the western perspective is that the tartars will turn not just against russia but infiltrate theaters where the united states is also a potential target. >> and jenna, it certainly would not be hard for islamist fighters if they get to crimea and ukraine to slip across ukraine's long border you just saw with poland. then, they're in the european union. no real border checks. easy access to cities like berlin, paris, london. full of attractive terrorist targets and full of american tourists. jenna? jenna: interesting look for us today, jonathan. thank you. jon: back to the mystery of what happened to air malaysia flight 370. that plane took off as you know, from kuala lumpur right around here in malaysia and simply flew off into the night and vanished. look at the original search quadrant. this is the

i, i am not sure of the situation in the caucasus might deteriorate directly as as a result of the crimean crisis and something might happen, and something more probable maybe is the growth of xenophobic attitudes that will accompany this patriotic frenzy which we're observing right now and it will potentially lead to deterioration of internal ethnic relations in russia. this is definitely a potential. another unintended consequence which might occur is, i mean, let's wait and see what happens with the customs, with the eurasian union, the agreement on the eurasian economic union. if i remember correctly was planned for signature in may. it's not guaranteed that this will happen and, what would, what will be the content of this agreement is also not very clear. i mean how successful it will be. one more thing which i would probably point out in the context of what dmitry gorenburg also said, you sigh the signs in the shops. obama is not welcome here as a response to the sanctions imposed on on the russian elites but i think this is temporary. it can not last for long. this -- with the bure

violence by soccer hooligans after the killing of basically an ethnic russians buy soma from north caucasusit's time to speak out against it. in cities all around russia. putin is very worried this will happen here. this is why ukraine is very important that it's very important for putin to show what can happen if someone has got a very strong fist. this is why we are in this situation right now. and this is where it could backfire because if this narrative gets out of control, if people see something different on the streets of ukraine they will start asking, hang on, what is this. putin has to keep his extremes on a very tight leash. this is why the could be blowback. the of the blowback is also where it comes to the issue of the eurasian union. putin has been trying to go, this is why ukraine has been important, this expanded customs union of russia, elvis and kazakhstan and also now are many. violence can actually basically work against us. and opinion polls about 80% of russians are against immigration and against migration. meaning people moving around the rest of the russian federati

opposition leaders talking about alliances with with chechen extremists and islam terrorists in the caucasus calling for attacks upon russia they've talked about seizing the russian naval fleet as absurd as that may sound all of these all of this rhetoric points to something quite striking in quite dangerous and that is that the forces who are seizing control of the government in kiev see russia as an enemy in every way they don't see russia as a partner they don't see russia as an equal partner along with europe they see europe as merely a convenient tool of political expediency for them to wage their war against russia and also let me add against ethnic minorities inside of ukraine specifically the jewish population but also the russian speakers who don't directly identify with russia all of these groups require some kind of consideration in a future settlement and i don't see any way that anything other than some kind of a federalize system could possibly provide them that protection certainly not when the security forces are under the control of power ruby and the head of right sector an
