MOSCOW, October 18 -. RIA Novosti French edition of Les Echos released material on "the threat of Russian expansionism" Europe. Looking back on the referendum in the Crimea, the author has tried to rethink the arguments presented by Russia as proof of the legitimacy of the will of the inhabitants of the peninsula.
In fact, the transfer of the Crimean region of the RSFSR in the Ukrainian SSR was held on the basis of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium Decree of 19 February 1954, in which it was not prescribed any time limit. The Warsaw Pact was signed on 14 May 1955 and designed to create a military alliance of European socialist states. This document has no relation to the Crimea.
The publication also points out that the Warsaw Pact can not be considered a contract of international law, as it was not signed by sovereign republics - Ukraine at that time was part of the USSR. This does not really participate in the USSR signed the document, but to say that the agreement does not apply to international law, can not be, because it was signed by Independent States: Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, East Germany, Poland, Romania, the USSR and Czechoslovakia.
The Republic of Dagestan is part of Russia since 1813. Perhaps the author was referring to the first Chechen war - armed conflict between federal forces and armed groups of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria created in violation of Russian law. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Chechnya has become part of the Russian Empire in June 1859, therefore, talk about "annexation" is impossible. At the same time, according to the author's material, Chechnya (or Dagestan?) Is now a sovereign state, which can become a victim of "Russian expansionism."
