When a geographic region is ethnically homogeneous, the (almost) only representatively legitimate solution is autonomy. Crimea was given autonomy within Ukraine. But I too wonder if a completely separate nation-state will work better for them. The danger there is falling under the thumb of Russia. I wonder if my argument applies to the American South. I also hope this doesn't become about Crimea. The protests aren't about Crimea, they're about illegitimacy. Russia is like America: they have to make sure everything is about them.
