P.S. I corrected translation.
I must say I was very surprised seeing Crimea as a part of Russia as shown by Geofabrik. However, I decided not to enter into any political debate at that stage and just propagate regions as done by Geofabrik, hence the statement regarding hierarchies in README.

Situation with Crimea is a pain for many and quite well characterized by Wikipedia (de jure vs de facto) and its status. In OSM, they have "Boundary relation for territories occupied by Russia", if I remember correctly.

I would prefer to stay away from this sore subject. I think we could follow Geofabrik lead and position it according to de facto and you could go ahead and correct that as it is now and position it under South-FD.

Please note that if we get argumentation regarding this positioning, we would have to address it probably. Its just extremely sad that there is this war and the countries cannot continue focusing on well-being of each other
