Day of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea

Day of the Autonomous Republic of CrimeaOn this day in 1991, the majority of Crimeans in the all-Crimean referendum voted for the restoration of the Crimean autonomy, which predetermined the status of Crimea as part of Ukraine.

Taking into account the will of the Crimeans, on February 12, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR adopted the Law “On the Restoration of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic”. During the period of universal euphoria of sovereignty, Crimea experienced almost the entire world experience of state-building, including presidential and parliamentary forms of government and a period of timelessness - without a Constitution and powers, repeatedly finding itself on the verge of interethnic and social conflicts.

But the Crimeans had the wisdom not to cross the line and from the point of view of common sense to build constructive relations with the state, between the authorities, people of different nationalities, which was a necessary prerequisite for the socio-economic development of autonomy.
