Such a conflict would have inevitably drawn in Russia and Turkey. Russia had large numbers of troops in the Crimea within the former Soviet Black Sea Fleet. Ukraine also was a nuclear military power until 1996.This book analyses two inter-related issues. Firstly, it answers the question why Ukraine-Crimea-Russia traditionally have been a triangle of conflict over a region that Ukraine, Tatars and Russia have historically claimed. Secondly, it explains why inter-ethnic violence was averted in Ukraine despite Crimea possessing many of the ingredients that existed for Ukraine to follow in the footsteps of inter-ethnic strife in its former Soviet neighbourhood in Moldova (Trans-Dniestr), Azerbaijan (Nagorno Karabakh), Georgia (Abkhazia, South Ossetia), and Russia (Chechnya).Soviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;47.Crimea (Ukraine)Ethnic relationsUkraineForeign relationsRussia (Federation)Russia (Federation)Foreign relationsUkraine947.71Kuzio Tarasaut756517Umland AndreasedtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971862303321Ukraine-Crimea-Russia3968625UNINA
