If you were to say in russian, 'i am in crimea' the end of the word would change, so you would say 'я в крыму' or Ja v krimu.

Im assuming thats where it comes from in this case. Russian grammar is pretty complicated though once you know the rules its easy enough most of the time.

Yeah auslander also calls the rebel militia the 'opolchensa', which sounds Serbian or summit.
A militia is called a opolcheniye; ополчение.
And when you refer to them in the third person (they, the militia), the word you want to use is opolchentsy; ополченцы

We dont have real word that describes what ополчение is in Serbian. Croatians have word "domobrani" which would be close i suppose. Closest word we have is "dobrovoljci", literally volonteurs. Or "Paravojne formacije" - paramilitary units. Its probably just his way to adapt Russian words to english and alphabet.

I meant the conjugation of the nouns; opolchensa sounds more Serbo-Croatian than Russian. But then again I know nothing of this language so just ignore me.

Basically asking the FSB or the Black Sea Fleet and the rest of the Russian military to fvck them up. Russia is the only one that controls the Kerch Strait. Stalin should have murdered them all.

Murdered the Crimean Tatars? Or the Ukrainians?
Hitler tried to murder a whole people. Didn't work despite their utter defencelessness, and his own huge resources. And good thing too, it was the greatest crime attempted by mankind thus far and not something to be emulated.

Stupid comments aside, you do realize it's just a bunch of paid-off sell-outs employed by Kiev that are organizing this, do you not? And most of the people doing it don't even seem to be Crimean Tatars. They number a few dozen in total.

Literary, +99% of the Crimean Tatar population has nothing to do with any of these 'blockades'

It will however, most certainly be a source of great amusement (assuming they don't decide to go all Allah Akbar on us) to see how they plan to stop a ferry crossing in Russian waters between two Russian ports.
They must think that Russia is like the Ukraine or something, where laws are there just for show and that anybody with a gun can simply do whatever they want.
Boy are they in for a surprise.

Ah you mean the word itself as he constructed it reminds more of Serbian than Russian. That sure, yeah i agree.

That makes sense.
There are alternatives to Ukrainian groceries and electricity.
There is no replacement for the ferries till 2019.

I wonder how crazy they were when the mentioned blocking the Kerch Strait. Both sides of the Kerch strait are Russian territory, and it's not like Russian naval force in Black Sea and Azov Sea are just for fun.

Did all the pro-Maidan politicians went full retard ?
