These report and film are about how the annexation has changed, and sometimes broke, the lives of people who live on the peninsula. I arrived in Crimea on the day of the so-called “referendum” on March 16, 2014, where I talked to people in Bakhchisaray, Simferopol, Yalta and Sevastopol. Since then I have been to the peninsula at least once a year, telling about the first political prisoners and the beginning of repressions against the Crimean Tatars. I describe the economic conditions and everyday life, which was imposed on the Crimeans. I cover what it is like to remain Ukrainian in the Crimea, and even about the Our Crimea movement activists, who started to criticize the authorities.
