Is that true? I was there in 1995 and Protestants and Catholics could worship freely.

Is it true that you visited Crimea in 1995? Then you would have seen mostly Russian flags and very few Ukrainian flags in Crimea.

Kind of like seeing Mexican flags and assorted communist flags and Palestinian flags in protests in blue cities across the US.

Means nothing when waved by people who won’t vote with their feet and go to the country whose flag they are waving.

I was in Russia. Moscow. Lectured on Christian Evidences to college students.

When did you visit Crimea? When did you see mostly Russian flags?

I was there in 2002, and although I had only a few semesters of Ukrainian in college, was warmly welcomed by the locals, who kindly switched to Russian so that we could converse.

The sanitorium at which my family and I were staying that summer was located on the grounds of a Russian military base, so of course we saw a lot of Russian national emblems and the like - but we paid in grivna, not rubles.

So, what is the source of your expertise in this matter?
