[Bug 1920987] Re: IANA tzdata file format cannot represent different country code for a given timezone in different time periods [ i.e. Europe/Simferopol country code changes ]; iso 3166-2 has no RU subdivisions for Crimea

[Alexander]

And now the American does not agree with this, and considers it a
controversial issue. He does not even know what kind or tribe he is, or
how he came to be on the American continent in the first place... but he
does not agree with the age-old history of the peoples of the world.
