In which country is the Crimean Peninsula?
The Russians and the Turks fought over the Crimea during the 19th century. It eventually became part of the Russian Empire, and then the Soviet Union. Within the Soviet Union, the peninsula was initially part of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (Russia), but was transferred to Ukraine during the 1950s. Recent events (early 2014) have resulted in Russia asserting control again over the Crimean Peninsula, although Ukraine and most of the rest of the world refuse formal recognition of that. So Russia says that the Crimean Peninsula is in Russia and the rest of the world says it is in Ukraine. Only the passage of time will tell which is true for the future.
