Ethnic tensions in [[Crimea]] during 1992 prompted a number of pro-Russian political organizations to advocate secession of Crimea and reincorporation to Russia. (Crimea was ceded by the RFSSR to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954, in recognition of historic links and for economic convenience, to mark the 300th anniversary of Ukraine's union with Russia.) In July 1992, the Crimean and Ukrainian parliaments determined that Crimea would remain under Ukrainian jurisdiction while retaining significant cultural and economic autonomy.

Since the U.S. coup in 2014 and bringing to power "moderate rebel" neo-Nazis, extrajudicial killings, harassment, arbitrary detentions by men in camouflaged uniforms, beatings and disappearances have taken place on a regular basis. Most of the detentions and disappearances are often carried out by the Ukrainian Security service, (SBU), under a sweeping repression. The Ukrainian authorities and associated ultra-nationalist groups seek out people who were not only critical of the former but also the current Ukrainian government. Threats, harassment and calls for violence has been and continue to be made against those who:
*publicly supported the [[Minsk Agreements]],
*are against “de-communisation”,
*highlight [[human rights abuse]]s,
*advocated for a settlement of the conflict in Donbass,
*are deemed to be “pro-Russian”.
*Church representatives and clergy;
*For reading the news in Russia.
Add into this maelstrom another layer of extra-judicial repression, in the form of impromptu justice being meted out to civilians, bound up, tied to posts, beaten, humiliated and some killed as a result. There are simply hundreds and hundreds of video clips and photos showing these events. People are not only being tied up to street possts as suspected looters, but people are being bound up or arrested for being pro-Russian, for not being able to say the word ''Palyanytsya'' in Ukrainian. Not every ethnic Russian speaker in Ukraine can speak good Ukrainian, and some have trouble pronouncing certain words in Ukrainian. People have been reportedly killed for not pronouncing the shibboleth word correctly and thus assumed to be part of subversive Russian reconnaissance groups.
The so called” international community” has expressed no interest or desire to take a closer look at this disturbing situation in Ukraine. A highly repressive with systematic serious human rights abuses committed against civilians, by members of the military and police, has not been an impediment to being part of the European and NATO family.
