These referendums are referendums on the freedom of the people, - Chanklu said. [Translated from Russian]

''The mission of observers was constantly accompanied by the military. We were provided with complete security. In Sevastopol, Simferopol and Moscow, everything was quite seriously organized, no violations were identified. All conditions for the secret ballot were met.''
