At the moment information for this section isn't full.
For example, children web service returns only part of subdivisions.

Correct list of subdivisions (from what I know): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea
Links from administrations contain correct information about places. Some of them are in allCountries.txt file, but unreachable via 'children' web service.
For example, geonameID=709161, country=UA, admin1=11, name=Feodosiya isn't available via web service.

I'm not sure if I may handle updating this information, at least from which point to start.

The children service returns the next ADM level and if not admin divisions are found it assumes to be on the last level and returns populated places.

In the example the list of admin divisions on the second level for the Crimea was not complete. I have completed the list and it returns all 25 second level admin divisions.

By the way, I have seen some ADM2 have different alternate names. Are those historic names and should be flagged with the isHistoric flag?
Example: Pervomayskiy Rayon has an alternate name Larindorfskiy Rayon. Is this an old name for the same admin divisions, or is it something different?

Best Regards

Marc
