	brief history of the Crimea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		After the fall of Rome, the Crimea was under the political influence of the Byzantine Empire until, in the 13th century, it was invaded by the Polovetzy.
		The Ottoman sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, invaded the Crimea, besieged and took Genoese Kaffa (1475), and made the Crimean khanate its vassal, although it was allowed to remain autonomous, which meant that the Crimean-Russian understanding was not affected by the Ottoman intervention.
		Although mostly peopled by Russians--it was the USSR's premier vacation grounds--the Crimea was transferred in 1954 to the Ukraine by Nikita Khruschev, head of the Russian communist party, whose career had prospered in the Ukraine.

		Crimea is, of course, the region of Ukraine facing the greatest challenges in dealing with the diversity of its population and, in particular, the pressing needs of the quarter-million Crimean Tatars who have returned to Crimea since the late 1980s.
		Those in Ukraine, and Crimea in particular, who are involved in debates on managing ethnocultural diversity, operate in an environment that is much more stressful than the environment in Canada, and this greatly hampers their efforts.
		Thus in the context of Crimea the rhetoric of cultural pluralism misleads rather than informs by implying that the interests of all ethnic communities in Crimea are similar or even identical.
