Russians in the captured Crimea were, are and remain an alien people - the Russian period of the history of the peninsula lasts about 200 years. It is for this reason that Kremlin propagandists try to keep silent about the 2,500-year history of the Crimean region.

This is on air "The Observer. LIVE "said political analyst Alexander Paliy.

As an example, he cited the case when, prior to the annexation of the Crimea in Sevastopol, he asked the local resident to show the way to Chersonesos.

"And she says:" Why do you need Chersonese? " Let me show you the panorama of the defense of Sevastopol ". They understand that before Russia there were 2,5 thousand years of history of that region. They understand that they are an alien people there, "the expert said..

"They were there relatively recently there appeared. And they want to score everything that is around, which testifies to the more ancient history of that region, "Paliy described Moscow's policy towards the Crimea.

The analyst recalled that the Crimean peninsula at one time for more than two hundred years was under the rule of the Kiev principality: "What was then 200 years, that now 200 years of Russian".

According to Paliy, Russians often do not want to understand what history is in its extent.

"Where the birch grew, there for them the native land forever loved. And as a result, nowhere is there a homeland. If a person does not have a homeland, his result is nowhere to be found. Neither on the territories selected from someone, nor on their own, "he added..

As reported by the "Observer", Paliy explained why the speculation of Russia on the Ukrainian statehood is doomed to failure.
