Crimea as Part of Russia: First Conclusions
On March 18, Russia celebrated the first anniversary
of its reunification with (or the annexation of) Crimea. President
Putin was a key guest at the spectacular celebration that took place
just a few steps away from the Kremlin. The event was billed as a “song
and dance show,” underscoring its theatrical and artificial nature. The
rest of the country celebrated the anniversary with much less pomp.
Public-sector employees—doctors, teachers, and others—reportedly had to
be dispatched by their employers to participate in the festivities.
The previously jubilant Russian media is now more concerned with Crimean problems and focuses on the difficulties the peninsula faces as a result of joining the Russian Federation.

What conclusions can we draw a year after the annexation of Crimea?
