No, the Crimean Peninsula (Crimea, "Krym" in Russian) is on the north shore of the Black Sea and now part of the Ukraine. Until the break up of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the Crimea was part of "Russia" (either the Soviet Union or the tsarist Russian Empire). It was taken by Russia during 18th-century wars with the Turks, at which time the population was "Crimean Tatars" who were essentially Turkish.
