Original Note:
RUS conducted referendum under occupation w/o "no" option. Vote was unconstitutional. OSCE refused participation. There were armed men at polls, blocked journalists, & pre-filled ballots. RUS council member said real turnout 15–30%. UN rejected vote 100–11. https://www.constcourt.md/libview.php?l=en&idc=9&id=1045&t=%2FMedia%2FPublications%2FRUSSIAN-JUSTIFICATION-OF-THE-ANNEXATION-OF-CRIMEA-AND- https://www.zaoerv.de/75_2015/75_2015_1_a_167_194.pdf https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2691933 https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/27/europe/russia-ukraine-referendum-intl/index.html https://khpg.org/en/1458089893 https://press.un.org/en/2014/ga11493.doc.htm https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/mar/17/crimea-referendum-sham-display-democracy-ukraine https://www.france24.com/en/20140315-crimea-referendum-ukraine-russia-putin-obama-tatar-kiev-moscow-vote https://reason.com/2014/03/14/in-upcoming-crimea-referendum-the-status/ https://time.com/16318/ukraine-crimea-referendum-russia/ https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=136722
