It looks like Crimea is going to retain it's republic status within Russia. Will it be the only republic with a Russian majority?
Also, Sevastopol is going to be a federal city, which puts it on par with Moscow and St. Petersburg.
No, about half the Republics have a Russian majority. Say, Karelia does.
It is likely to be the only Republic without a native minority: Tartars are evacuating their families.
"Ukraine’s breakaway region of Crimea will ask Tatars to vacate part of the land where they now live in exchange for new territory elsewhere in the region, a top Crimean government official said Tuesday."
"Part".
"Elsewhere".
