«We reject the 'referendum' that took place today in the Crimean region of Ukraine. This referendum is contrary to Ukraine's constitution, and the international community will not recognise the results of a poll administered under threats of violence and intimidation from a Russian military intervention that violates international law.»  Press secretary of President of United States of America, Jay Carney

«My Crimean friends who are there are afraid to go out and build their own Maidan. They're not voting. People with Russian passports are being allowed to vote. I'm ethnic Russian. But I feel my nationality is Ukrainian. We've stayed in Ukraine for 22 years. We want Putin to leave us alone. We don't want Crimea to be a part of Russia.» Antonina Danchuk
«We were protesting outside Simferopol theatre when two cars pulled up. Men with guns got out. They told me: 'If you want to stay alive clear off.' Of course I left. A similar thing happened two days ago at another demonstration next to the Shevchenko statue. A man – not local – came up and said: 'What are you doing? Where are your papers? (...) The whole referendum is taking place at the point of a Kalashnikov. It's improper, and organised by Moscow.» Larissa Danchuk
