No they weren't. They don't want to be part of the shithole known as Ukieland. Can't blame them...
As opposed to the shithole called "Russia?"
lol
You have to be really fucking delusional to think that vote wasn't rigged in favour of the Russians.
First hint: On the ballot, there was no option to "Stay in Ukraine."
FYI there was the option to stay in the Ukraine. This is the other lie the media put out there.
It was the option to reaffirm Crimea's state of autonomy within the Ukraine.
1992 I believe was the year of the agreement. And Toro, why would Crimea want to stay with the Ukraine?
The goons who overthrew the duly elected government have right in their party platform that they were going to strip Crimea's autonomy away from them.
Demographically Crimea's 60% ethnic Russian and they know damn well that this new interim government has now very high ranking members from Svoboda who hate any and all things Russian. Including "ethnic Russians".
Hell's bells one of the first bills they passed was to ban the Russian language. It was vetoed by the interim President under pressure from the EU.
You bet they voted to join Russia.
Here's a quick link. The second choice is very clear in its language despite the spin put on it by the west.
The referendum asked the people of Crimea whether they wanted to join Russia as a federal subject, or if they wanted to restore the 1992 Crimean constitution and Crimea's status as a part of Ukraine.

But not remain with the status quo.
With Russian troops on the ground in Crimea.
Yeah, it was fair.
