In Simferopol Crimeans face a mix of fear and propaganda as Russian troops surround the regional parliament and Ukrainian bases. Retired actor Vladimir Sukhenko says soldiers' arrival relieved him, fearing Ukrainian occupation and forced Ukrainian language, while memories of war linger and shape reactions.
In Crimea a 77 year old Sukhenko defends separatist sentiment and denounces Kiev as illegal, while Crimea residents clash with Kyiv backed protesters seeking democracy and EU ties. The piece highlights Ukraine’s east west divide and fears of suppression of Russian speakers.
Crimea's parliament approved a move toward joining Russia and scheduled a referendum within ten days.
