If a small portion of the population doesn't agree with it, then fucking leave and go back to Russia.

Putin rewarded "his" journalists
While the Kremlin bullies his critics, he rewarded handkehrum its apologists: How the Russian newspaper "Vedomosti" reported Putin has rewarded in a secret decree about 300 journalists with medals for their "professional and objective coverage of the events in the Republic of Crimea". Most of the journalists were honored accordingly the award "For merits before Fatherland". You are entitled after retirement to a supplementary pension, which is three to four times higher than the basic pension

From the original RUSSIAN document:
In Crimea about 30-50% of the entitled population went to vote - about 50-60% of them voted to join Russia
so that makes in the worst case 15% and in the best case like 30% that voted yes - officially it was 97% that voted yes from 83% that went
once again - russian numbers, not western propaganda
that is all so laughable that I don't even know where to start
