This is obviously a very pro-Ukrainian video and its efforts to debunk some Russian myths about Crimea might not be to everyone's taste, but it covers a lot of historical bases:
Here's a Savchenko update from our news desk:
A Russian lawmaker says a Ukrainian military pilot held in Russia for alleged involvement in the deaths of two Russian journalists in eastern Ukraine cannot be released simply because she is a Ukrainian lawmaker in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
Aleksei Pushkov told journalists on January 26 that demands to release Nadia Savchenko "have no legal grounds" because she is accused of a crime committed before she was elected to Ukraine's parliament.
PACE President Anne Brasseur appealed to Russian State Duma speaker Sergei Naryshkin last week to help free Savchenko, whose health has severely deteriorated after 46 days of a hunger strike.
But Naryshkin said Savchenko's fate is up to the Russian courts.
Savchenko, who was captured by pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine last summer and transferred to Russia, says Moscow has no right to detain her.
Savchenko won a seat in Ukraine's parliament in October and was included in the Ukrainian PACE delegation.
