You completely ignore the last 8 years of history in your "analysis". You completely ignore the last 70 years of history in the region and never touch on the last 1500 years of history.
You are taking a snap shot in time, September 2022, and applying all events to that narrow window. These people are, and have always been, Russian. These oblasts were gifted to Ukraine during the WW2 and Soviet eras. These people have suffered 8 years of genocide at the hands of UkroNazis.
So why would the People in a Russian oblast, who have been attacked and shelled for 8 years, vote at a 99 percentile to return to a Russian nation they had been a part of for 1500 years, until just very recently in history?
These numbers I see fall right in with the reality on the ground, as seen through history, very well. Americans have very little real sense of History. How could they? 240 some years versus 1500 years.
I think you mean 80ish years max and a bunch of papers making historical claims. Nobody has been alive for 240 nor 1500 years. Everybody is working from the same starting point. Just because someone lives in an older country doesn’t mean they’re better at deciphering history than anybody else. (All those European leftists are true scholars of history)
In fact, if that is how it worked we’d still all be equal in our abilities because we all have an ancestry that goes back to the same place at the same time.
