No. But they’ve had to endure Soviet and then Russian rule for 70+ years.
This is not a knock against Russia particularly. Instead, it’s a knock against the gross hypocrisy of plebiscites in general. Nations run plebiscites when it suits them, and shun them when they don’t.
The United States is no better in this regard. We are all for self-determination. We preach it constantly. But try it here, and General Sherman comes knocking at your door.
