  7. Source: President Vladimir Putin, speech to the Russian Federation Congress on March 18, 2014, on the annexation of Crimea In 1954, a decision was made to transfer Crimea from Russia to Ukraine. This was the personal decision of the Communist Party head Nikita Khrushchev. What was behind this decision of his is for historians to figure out. What matters now is that this decision was made in clear violation of the constitutional laws that were in place even then. The decision was made behind the scenes. Naturally, in a totalitarian state nobody bothered to ask the citizens of Crimea . Dear friends, we have gathered here today in connection with an issue that is of vital historic significance to all of us. A referendum was held in Crimea on March 16 in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms. More than 82 percent of the people took part in the vote. Over 96 percent of them spoke out in favor of reuniting with Russia. These numbers speak for themselves. In people’s hearts and minds, Crimea has always been an inseparable part of Russia. This strong belief is based on truth and justice and was passed from generation to generation, over time, under any circumstances, despite all the dramatic changes our country went through during the entire 20th century.
