But for Khrushchev gifting the region in 1954, Crimea would have been part of Russia after its collapse. Today, the West and Russia are trying to replay the games which were once played during the height of the Cold War. As I write this, the standoff continues with no amicable and practical solution in sight.<br />Regards<br />KumarKumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571503236070897848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101059815715683400.post-31765991139079175512014-03-12T03:26:15.615-07:002014-03-12T03:26:15.615-07:00Hi Kumar
