Crimean names are in Russian. :/
- pluma 11y agoNobody told you? Oh.
- jevgeni 11y agoYou mean of the Russian occupation?
- guard-of-terra 11y agoWhatever you may think of Crimea status, people in Crimea use Russian language dominantly. Why would you expect names not be in it? This sort of behavior you're demonstrating is exactly what contributed to recent Ukraine troubles. P. S. In Italy, cities in Sudtirol - Alto Adige marked in both German and Italian. That's responsible behavior if you want examples.

It's not as simple as "they just now got attacked and now their signs have all been changed". Crimea and its people have had linguistic/social/cultural/economic ties to Russia/USSR for a lot longer than merely the recent conflict....
- jevgeni 11y agoWell, China has very old ties with Outer Manchuria (also known as Priamursk is Russia [1]), so would it be OK for China to invade? There is a lot of shared history around the world, like Alsace-Lorraine, for example. Strangely enough Germany doesn't invade France for some reason...

- scott_karana 11y agoEh? I'm not saying it's okay for Russia to invade. Quite the reverse. I'm saying that the mere presence of Russian language signs in Crimea doesn't mean it was caused by the recent events. Your example shows the exact same property. :-)
- jevgeni 11y agoOh, I understand. Good point, actually. :)
