Kusturica, having lived through the crisis in the former Yugoslavia would understand better then most. Also most people may have forgotten that Nikita Khrushchev was ever president of USSR. Khrushchev was not Russian but Orthodox Ukrainian by birth. He seemed to favor Executive Orders during the end of his term in office. The Crimea at that time was part of Russia. However, Kiev was the city of his birth and also in the Crimea area. Since he was or Ukrainian decent he wanted Kiev to be part of the Ukraine and it made it so with a stroke of his pen. It remained that way all these decades and probably would have remained so until those outside of Russia and the Ukraine became unhappy with Putin and decided it was time to do the same that was done in Serbia…. With Russia being almost twice as large as the US and appears to be self sufficient ……does it seem likely that would happen? Give it a month or 2 and Crimea be be back within its natural boarder of Russia. Khrushchev should be turning in his earthly grave by now.
