The Russian lower house of its legislature, the Duma, voted 445 to 1 to support President Putin annexing the Crimea region of Ukraine.
The news media has portrayed Russia's annexation of Crimea as the policy of President Putin, however, it appears by that vote that Russian legislators are almost entirely very nationalistic - unless some feared to vote against the policy.
According to TalkingPointsMemo.com, National Geographic is already working on changing its maps to include the Crimea region as part of Russia.
