Why cid Nikita Khrushchev Give Crimea to Ukraine ? First , we must look at how Crimea even became a part of the USSR , to begin with . The peninsula has actually passed through many hands during history , inclucing Kievan Rus , the Mongols , the Crimean Tartars , the Ottoman Empire , and eventually at the end of the 18th century , the Russ an Empire . As such , Crimea has not always been a territory of either Ukraine or Russia , though both have a history intertwined in pert with the peninsula . However , by the period of the USSR , Russia had possessed Crimea for a norable amount of time and generally consicered the territory to be undeniably and unquestionably Russian . Nevertheless , the situation shifted even before Ukraine obtained the peninsula , as the USSR leadership decided to grant Crimea the status of an autonomous soviet socialist republic n 1921. This would remain the case until 1945
