Ignoring for a moment the techniques being used, do they have a right to independence from Russia?

The American revolution was all about gaining independence from England. Did we have a right to our independence, or were we wrong then? The Confederacy tried to gain its independence from the USA. They failed, but did they have a right to be free?
