The recent Russian-Ukrainian dispute over Crimea attracted wide
international attention. The purpose of this paper is to explain its historic, demographic,
legal, political and military strategic background, its similarities with and differences
from other “frozen” conflicts on the periphery of the former Soviet Union, the roles of
three main parties directly involved in the Crimean conflict, its linkage with secessionist
attempts in Eastern and Southern Ukraine, wider international ramifications of the conflict
and the ensuing deterioration of the West’s relations with the Russian Federation.
