The number of Crimeans in favor of the decision by the Putin installed government in the peninsula of secession to the Russian Federation is only around 15 percent, according to the young lady Aleksandra, attending a Pro Ukrainian rally in Simferopol.
The real number might be higher, but as Aleksandra says, nobody is prohibiting her speaking Russian, as the propaganda will have us to believe.
