Hey, I read your Crimea OC and I want to somewhat tell you a more realistic opinion about the relationships, being a Russian.

Crimea was part of the Russian empire since the 18th century, and Peter the Great, so she would probably be rather cold to Russia at that point. But she would have not fought with Ukraine during the Revolution for the reason that she was not part of Ukraine.

After being "demoted", her main city was called the city of heroes, so she was not demoted, she was promoted as she was not a republic before.

As well, people protested being moved into Ukraine and in general were angry about the border change, and were only passified by the fact that they were part of the USSR.

And in Ukraine, a common joke about Crimeans was "You want to go back to Russia? Then pack your bags, go to the train station and go", so Ukraine* did not like Crimea that much.

The President of Crimea ASKED the Russia forces to be there, and they technically were allowed at the Sevastopl base.

And WTF would she be against the will of 96% of her people! She would be cheering in the streets and laughing with the majority of her people!

You seemed to have written her in a North American/ EU point of view, so I would make her be like a Crimean citizen.


 * Ukraine is in this context Western Ukraine
