So, where is the truth? Russia, The West or neither?
Giant billboards (click here) line Crimea's highways inviting citizens to choose
between Russia and fascism, others simply declare: ''Crimea is Russia.''
There is little room for a ''no'' campaign in Sunday's
referendum and no chance to vote for life to remain as it is - the
Russian occupation of Crimea that began on February 28 is now all but
complete.
Russia's soldiers control the borders and the entrance to the
Black Sea while armed ''self-defence'' units are roaming the streets.
They have created such a climate of fear that many locals say they do
not feel safe to walk around at night, amid reports of brutal assaults
on Ukrainian soldiers....
Personally. Neither. They each hide the truth about the region into their own ideas of importance.

No tensions in Ukraine’s autonomous republic of Crimea (click here) were reported
by the team of international observers Saturday, as they started
monitoring polling stations and readying for the crucial vote on the
peninsula’s independence.
Thirty observers, who come from 10 European nations, have arrived
in Crimea at the invitation of the republic's election commission
and have already started their work, Mateusz Piskorski, the
director of the European Geopolitical Analysis Centre and the
mission coordinator, said.
“At the moment we are starting to monitor the preparation of
polling stations. In general, the situation is very calm, there
is no tension,” he told Interfax news agency. “Everyone
hopes there will be no provocations."
Members of the mission come from Poland, Austria, France,
Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Italy and Latvia.
Representing the European Democracy and Election Monitoring
Institute (Brussels), they are deputies from the European
parliament, members of national parliaments of their native
countries, as well as leading European international law experts
and famous human rights activists....
Are Russian Jews in trouble, oppressed or simply like the leadership in Moscow? It would seem there is no particular place in the Ukraine without the influence of the Neo-nazies.
