[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t has been two years since Crimea’s separation from Ukraine. If you listen to the Western press, Crimea was stolen by Russia in a land grab in the wake of “confusion” following the Ukrainian (or Maidan) Revolution of 2014. What happened then in Crimea is critically important to understand the ongoing war. Further, understanding the history of the region provides a vital context for the war. These are the topics tackled by Alexander Chopov in the fourth episode of War In Ukraine – The Unreported Truth.
