WWII, the '90s, and Russian Annexation (again) | Crimea's Forgotten History

Following an eight-month offensive by Axis forces, Crimea fell in 1942, but this proved short lived, with Soviet forces retaking the peninsula during their push into Eastern Europe. After WWII, Crimea and its neighbor to the north, Ukraine, suffered at the hands of Joseph Stalin, who, in former’s case, organized a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing (i.e. detatarization) that dramatically altered the peninsula’s demographics. The dissolution of the Soviet Union brought still more change, with Crimea - now designated as an autonomous republic - being attached to an independent Ukraine. However, this did not sit well with some and agitation from the likes of Yuri Meshkov, among others, saw a push for independence and/or reunification with Russia. Tensions ran high throughout the ‘90s and, following the events of the Revolution of Dignity (aka the Maidan Revolution) in 2014, Russian military intervention saw Crimea (and the city of Sevastopol) later annexed by Moscow. This event, in more ways than one, marked the beginning of the still ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. #crimea #ukraine #russia #tatar #sevastopol #simferopol #ghostcountries CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:35 WWII and Detatarization 01:40 Soviet rule, dissolution of the USSR, and integration with Ukraine 02:39 Crimea's Flag 03:14 Republic of Crimea (Take One) 03:37 Yuri Meshkov, Crimea's One and Only President 04:34 Growing Unrest in the Peninsula 05:55 Viktor Yanukovych and the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution 06:41 Russian Invasion and the Republic of Crimea (Take Two) 08:21 Crimean Referendum 09:05 Consequences of Russian Annexation 10:47 Conclusion 📸 Instagram (  / ghostcountries.official  ) 👍 Facebook (  / ghostcountriesyt  ) 🔴 RECOMMENDED VIDEOS on the channel about Eastern European and/or Eurasian History: 🎥 From Ancient Greeks to Russian Annexation | Crimea's Forgotten History (Part I) [   • From Ancient Greeks to Russian Annexation ...  ] 🎥 Siberian Separatism | GREEN UKRAINE and the FAR EASTERN REPUBLIC during the Russian Civil War (   • Siberian Separatism | GREEN UKRAINE and th...  ) 🎥 Eastern European Superpower | POLISH-LITHUANIAN COMMONWEALTH (   • Eastern European Superpower | POLISH-LITHU...  ) 🎥 What Happened After Partition? | POLISH-LITHUANIAN COMMONWEALTH (   • What Happened After Partition? | POLISH-LI...  ) 🎥 A Principality vs the World | Wallachia (   • A Principality vs the World | Wallachia  ) 🎥 Vlad the Impaler: Wallachia's Dark Prince (   • Vlad the Impaler: Wallachia's Dark Prince  ) Creative Commons - Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC by 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
