It's a bit more complicated than just being a part of the old USSR. The Crimean region is home to a lot of ethnic Russians. The region is incredibly unstable with the removal of the Ukraine leadership which makes these ethnic Russians concerned about their further under new political leadership.
It's difficult for us to understand here because the US is a nation created within a political boundary whereas Europe is a host of political boundaries that surround nations of people. The rise of nationalism in Europe is an engrossing topic.

I really don't think it's complicated at all. The more I look at it the more I think Putin is just on a blatant landgrab.

And the United States is home to a lot of Anglo-Saxons. Does that mean the British should come over here and annex the part of our country which houses the most?
Should Mexico be allowed to re-annex the American southwest due to its large ethnic Mexican population?

Yup, best class I ever took in college was about this topic. Fascinating, how it effected early 20th century europe (and was the cause of more then one war).
