Crimea's east-west-east swing

Yesterday saw a young man run amok in Kerch in eastern Crimea. A number of young people were killed.

On this day, October 18, 1921 Crimea was integrated into the Soviet Union.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine became an independent state in 1991. Crimea came under the jurisdiction of Ukraine.

Since March 2014 Crimea has been under the authority of the Russian Federation.
