Seems to me similar to the history of Texas, and it's revolution. Emigrants from Russia over time have formed a majority while it seems in more recent history to have been Crimean Tatar, Ukrainian, and Belorussian.
I guess I like to try to put myself into Russian shoes and consider what the US would do if their was a possibility of factional revolutionary violence in a part of Mexico (mequiladoras for example) where the preponderance of the inhabitants were US nationals. Like, Grenada... We intervened to "rescue" some US citizens attending a medical school.
I think Russia over reacted in their own self-interest. It tends to be what they do, and what we in the US do, because we can get away with it.
