BRAVO! You get a virtual cookie. These problems exist because Stalin invaded what is now Western Ukraine (which is very anti-Russian) and glommed it onto "mainland," as it were, Ukraine, and then Krushchev decided it would be a good idea to glomm Crimea, which is almost entirely ethnic Russian and Cossack and Tatar and extremely pro-Russian, onto the whole mess. Drawing lines on a map and saying "Ukraine starts here!"

It's the same reason Georgia is so fucked up. Stalin decided to attach South Ossetia to the place, dividing it from its other half in the RSFSR.
