It's not just my personal opinion. It's a history. Here you go:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea. Educate yourself.
As about the Soviets and their imperial ambitions. The Soviet Union was the only crazy country that didn't use the controlled countries to get their resources (slaves, gold, natural resources etc as the Euro countries and USA did for 100's of years). On the contrary, the Soviets gave away their money, food, weapon and natural resources (oil and natural gas) to the "controlled" countries for free. Do you know how much of goods the Soviets gifted to Cuba, African countries and Eastern European ones (Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, West Germany etc) for free? What the USSR got in return? Nothing but hate and anger.
This is why I was never supported commies that were always ready to give away wealth of the country to some foreign aborigines. Fuck commies and fuck their "imperial" politics.
