They have to build them up first. The Crimean infrastructure was almost destroyed when it was ruled by the Ukraine.
It is not anymore. Crimea was a part or the Ukraine for 23 years only. After that it was returned back to Russia where it was for centuries. Here is a map of Russia for dummies, made by National Geographic:
P.S. I guess you are too stupid to find Crimea on the map above, but maybe someone else will see it there and note which color it's marked with. |
Actually thats an outdated map, they already show a special status for it..

Is Crimea part of Russia or Ukraine?
Crimea, Ukraine: In a referendum that was disputed as illegal and under occupation, a vast majority of Crimean residents who voted reportedly chose to secede from Ukraine and join Russia. Shortly thereafter the Russian government approved the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. In late March 2014, the General Assembly of the United Nations approved a resolution declaring this referendum and Russia's annexation as invalid and affirming Ukraine's territorial jurisdiction of Crimea. One hundred of the UN's 193 member states approved the resolution, and 11 member states voted against it.
