Article examines the relationships between the Ukrainian statehood (national revolutionary of 1917-1921, Soviet and post-Soviet) and the Crimean Peninsula. Crimea had been incorporated into Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1954 because of economic reasons. After 1991, Crimea is a carrier of permanent troubles for Ukraine, however essentially, the conflict between Crimean Russians’ separatist movement and Kiev had been “neutralized”, thanks to the status of autonomy, stabilized in 1998. The Crimean Autonomy and its supporting Russian speaking population of Crimea is very disapprovingly viewed by national-oriented Ukrainians of the “continental” Ukraine. However, the local Crimean Ukrainians are mostly Russian-speaking and identify themselves with political aims of Crimean Russians. The attitude of Ukrainians toward the Crimean Tatars — third of three main important ethnic groups in the Crimean triangle of conflict — is very complicated. The Ukrainian state has not developed any consistent policy of readaptation Crimean Tatars and policy of Crimea’s integration with the rest of Ukraine. Whereas, it is a subject of a discussions among politicians, scientists and journalists.
