Given all the comments missing the point (also written in the title), I appreciate that yours would pass the message better

Is it just me or do those pink versions of Russia include Crimea?

No, as far as I can see, they don't, the western border of russia is straight-ish without Crimea protruding further to the west.

However, in the base map (upper image), Crimea seems to be neither Ukraine nor russia.
