Hello, ErikEst,
I'm not sure if English is your second language, but there really does seem to be a misunderstanding here.
I am not Russian, I am most certainly not a Communist, and I do not live in Crimea. The Neighbourhood Watch I was talking about is where I live in the UK - and really, truly the UK is not a communist country.
I do not dispute anything you say about life in Russia or countries dominated by its control. You have experience of it, and I do not. I have only given specific facts about Crimea itself, which it is quite clear you do
not know.
I even agree about Wikipedia, but the problem with the English language Wiki is that the facts are usually distorted in quite a different direction. You only need to look at the 'history' of a page to see who has been changing it and how. However, the events in Crimea of the 1990s are in every written history of the period too, and personally I actually remember them. You can even find some accounts in objective sites online, such as
this one in the International Business Times, for instance, which covers the essential facts I have already given you.
It is for the same reason that I have not linked to a single pro-Russian site or editorial, but only videos of actual footage taken by the BBC. The BBC does have a left-wing bias (in my opinion) but it would be ludicrous to think of it as communist. It does its best to report news in a balanced way that shows the facts on both sides - and since very few things are either black or white, I think that is always the best approach.
Either way, there is no need for a political rant. No-one is disagreeing with you, and I doubt you will find a single Communist on this whole site. We are here to talk survival, so let's keep it to that.
