Abstract:
In February and March 2014 Ukraine was literally
overrun by a chain of events that eventually led to an incorporation of Crimea
into Russian territory. A joint endeavor by Crimean and Russian authorities
used the internal conflict in Ukraine to deprive the Ukrainian government of
its control over Crimea, to hold a referendum, and to declare the independence
of Crimea.
Already on the day after the declaration of
independence Russia formally recognized Crimea as an independent state, and the
Crimean parliament requested Crimea to be admitted to Russia. Soon after that,
the accession treaty was signed and within only a few more days all Russian
constitutional requirements for an accession of Crimea to Russia were
fulfilled.
