Особенно про этнического русского Романа с семьёй, которые бегут в Киев из Крыма ради безопасности семьи. Неужели в Крыму страшнее чем в Киеве?
It's a situation that Roman Borodin and his wife Tanya want to leave behind.
I visit their apartment in Sevastopol, now full of boxes. They're preparing to move from Crimea to Kiev, worried for the future of their four-year-old daughter, Masha.
They are ethnic Russians - but are a far cry from those here pushing Crimea into the arms of Moscow.
"We're leaving because the situation is so unpredictable", Mr Borodin says.
"We don't know what Putin will do next here. I fear it could be war. I don't want Crimea to become Bosnia-Herzegovina or Kosovo. It's terrible."
Many among the ethnic Russian majority in Crimea have openly asked for Moscow's support here. They brand the revolutionaries of Kiev's Independence Square "fascists".
It's an allegation based on the far-right groups that supported the uprising that toppled President Viktor Yanukovych, as well as the nationalism of Western Ukraine during World War Two. History weighs heavy here.
But Roman tells me he doesn't want the support of Russia.
"I was in Moscow for 10 years so I know what the Russian Federation is like," he says. "People are poor there, the level of corruption is very high - and there's no freedom of speech." Pro-Russian supporters in Crimea For pro-Russian supporters, the referendum can't come early enough
Does he believe the allegations of Russians here that those from western Ukraine are out to harm them?
