Partly.
The Serbs of the Krajina seem to share some similarities with the Russians of the Ukraine.
So do both with the Sudeten Germans, or a lot of the Austrians during the Anschluss.

More like the 1930’s I think. In the Crimea a Russian takeover cannot be opposed because there is a very limited anti-Russian population and the territory is extremely discrete and well defined. Geography is everything.

In the Sudetenland the Germans seized the defensible terrain around Bohemia, and I believe you will soon hear that the Russians have seized Perekop.
