Crimean Tatars were crowded out by Russian and Ukrainian settlers after Russia annexed Crimea in 1783, then REAL Stalin had the rest deported. By the late Soviet period, ethnic Russians comprised about 70% of the population of Crimea (25% Ukrainian). Crimea had been part of the Russian Empire and then the RSFSR in the Soviet period, but then Krushchev "gave" Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav (1654 agreement linking Ukrainian Cossack Hetmanate to Muscovy for protection against Poland-Lithuania and the Ottoman Crimeans). So Crimea had been Russian until 1954, and most Crimeans were and are ethnic Russians (Ukrainians seem to have been slowly leaving in the 20 years since the USSR breakup, and ethnic Crimeans seem to have been returning, but still comprise only about 15% of the population).LebamDawg said:

Crimea was hit hard by the Soviet breakup, since most of its economy was centered on intra-Soviet tourism and the Black Sea Fleet, and funding for both declined drastically after 1991. Still a strategic area, and the Russians wanted to maintain control of the Fleet, the division of which was a contentious issue for many years. There had been rumblings about going back to Russia since the early 1990s, when Ukraine's economy made Russia's look good, and the area's pensioners and fleet families felt they'd be treated better by Moscow than by Kiev. Not a good idea then, and not a good idea now; being the squeaky wheel in Ukraine meant attention and money from Kiev over the years, while being one of 89 oblasts in Russia means Crimea will have a harder time getting what it wants/needs from Moscow. Plus, over the years Ukraine has treated ethnic Russians well (at least no worse than it treats ethnic Ukrainians), a point that even Moscow was ready to admit/agree until maybe ten years ago. -
