The referendum was a joke. I saw one piece of Russian television coverage where they were “counting” the ballots. They were holding up every paper and just saying “yes” “yes” “yes” (in Russian) without even looking at it. Also, how do you hold a fair referendum when it’s done at gun point? No one feels free to say no when the people conducting the poll could just open their ballot, see they voted no, and shoot them on the spot.
You mean the referendum just last year right. I meant the independence referendum of Ukraine after the collapse of the USSR. This one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Ukrainian_independence_referendum. Here the whole of Ukraine voted for secession from Russia.
The referendum Russia held a referendum for Crimea in 2014 that was pre-deteemined, this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Crimean_status_referendum.
And then Russia held one more with pre-deteemined outcome for the Donbas in 2022: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_annexation_referendums_in_Russian-occupied_Ukraine
Gotcha, thanks for the correction.
NP, so much fuckery has gone on around there, and the Tankies are doing their best to muddy the water even more by switching the narrative as if the people of Crimea and the Donbas chose to be chess pieces in Russia’s imperial aspirations.
