I'm sure you wish well, but

> Pre 2014 no Russian person would directly wish/hope/wait for the annexation of Crimea.

is just bollocks.

> On 21 May 1992 the Supreme Soviet of Russia declared 1954 transfer of Crimea as having "no legal force", because it was adopted "in violation of the Constitution (Fundamental Law) of the Russian SFSR and legislative process", but because subsequent legislation and the 1990 Russo-Ukrainian treaty constituted that fact

Russians were planning Crimea takeover for a long time.

I talk about people, not government. Unfortunately it's two different things. And of course I don't mean 100% of people. But percentage wise - you wouldn't say that majority wanted to "get it back". And that's my point - leaders less and less represent the people.

As for the government - your are absolutely on point. And I don't disagree.
