Dribnytsya’s interview for the Viber channel “Blyskavka” for Independence Day. Relevant to the article is the fragment on Russia’s territorial claims from the early 1990s: already in 1992 the Russian parliament (then the Supreme Soviet, not the State Duma) declared that Crimea and Sevastopol had been “transferred unlawfully”, something that could be defused only during Yeltsin’s presidency. The rest of the conversation provides broader context on independence, Russian aggression and cultural imperialism. A supplementary source for the article on the myth of an “unlawful” transfer of Crimea.

Key moments

  1. 02:47 A 1992 resolution of the Supreme Soviet of Russia: Crimea and Sevastopol allegedly "transferred unlawfully"
  2. 13:44 The "easily surrendered Crimea" of 2014 as a precondition that emboldened Putin
