Crimea Documentaries

RTD’s Crimea documentaries explore the rich and turbulent history of this beautiful Black Sea peninsula, from its annexation by the Russian Empire in 1783 to its reunification with modern Russia in 2014. You can visit the Brotherly Graveyard, where 50,000 Russian soldiers and sailors who died defending Sevastopol during the Crimean War of the mid-19th century are buried. Or, see how the same city was liberated from the Nazis some 100 years later. RTD’s Crimea documentaries also examine the events that led the peninsula’s residents to vote to reunite with Russia after a bloody coup in the Ukrainian capital and let you see how they feel about their decision today.
