My name is Alexander and I am from Köln, but was born in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. I think referendum in Crimea is illegal and as a result this region will most likely become another “black hole” like Abkhazia or South Ossetia. It looks like Vladimir Putin wants a new USSR?! Russia wants to introduce the rouble…but they have to think of the railway, roads, water and gas infrastructures. They all now come from Ukraine, Crimea does not have a lot of that. What is Russia going to do about it? How is Russia going to deal with more than a million of unemployed people and pensioners in Crimea? What are the Ukrainians and the Tartars going to do there?
