| Mnementh said: I don't know what Tartars have voted. But it is not completely unbelievable. You have to look, what they have to expect from the new government in Kiew. The nazi-groups are not only anti-russian, they are against all ukrainians with other languages or heritages. So some might feel better with russia, especially with Aksjonow making a lot of statements, that he want to bring more autonomity to the tartars. Stalin is long dead, not all live in the past. And these who are against crimea joining russia might have been absent to the voting anyways. |
It is possible that many people who don't want to join Russia boycotted this obvious sham, but RT's claim is that 40% of eligible Tatars voted and a majority of those voted for Russia. Which, yes, is completely unbelievable.
