The
ethnic Russian population in Crimea is a "justification
for this entire operation: the ethnic Russians on the Crimean peninsula are

only reason that Crimea had a Russian majority was because Josef Stalin
deported the native Crimean Tatars en masse to Central Asia after World War II
and resettled Russians to replace them."

Yes, see here. There's a particularly large ethnic Russian population in Latvia.
Ah, here's a map.
