In this Monday, Jan. 25, 2016, file photo, a woman walks with her dog past a graffiti depicting the Russia and Crimean flags on the outskirts of Simferopol, Crimea. Two years after Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin touts the move as a historic achievement, looking on with a satisfied smile from countless billboards across the peninsula. However, overwhelming opposition from the Muslim Tatar ethnic minority puts a crack in this picture of unanimous support, as evidenced in interviews with more than two dozen Tatars across Crimea. And the resistance appears to be growing. (AP Photo/Sergei Grits)
