Voting in Crimea is legitimate. That is my humble opinion.

Я считаю, что выборы в Крыму – легитимны. Я выражаю свое мнение как человек. И я не понимаю, почему, когда я пытаюсь выразить свое мнение, меня пытаются ограничить.

Corresponding elections

illegitimate
The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations does not recognise Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Autonomous Republic of Crimea in 2014, while international institutions such as the OSCE ODIHR considered Russian elections held in Crimea as illegitimate and did not send international election observers there. In their turn, Ukrainian authorities warned that any participation in the electoral process in Crimea would be illegal.
