'We are going home at last,' - people say. - 'We waited for this day for 23 years! Our dream came true.'
Do you still believe that the Crimean citizens voted on referendum at gunpoint (as western media claims)?
Then watch this. Listen to what people say, look at their happy smiling faces, feel the electrifying and triumphant atmosphere of the Hero City Sevastopol.

Beautifully filmed by the Crimean film maker Sergey Strizhak on the very day of referendum when almost 97% of people voted for returning Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia.

The whole thing started back in 1954 when the Russian "tsar" of the time, Nikita Khruschev gave the Crimea peninsula to Ukraine as a present. Don't ask ...
Being Ukrainian himself, he probably wanted to bribe Ukraine with the "perl of the Black Sea" for his dark deeds during Stalin's purges. But back then It was no more then a symbolic gesture because the USSR was just one big country. The tragedy happened 23 years ago with the break up of the Soviet Union and the Ukrainian "orange" revolution when two million Crimean Russian people woke up one morning finding themselves living abroad. Ever since they were fighting for the returning of their land back to Mother-Russia.
