For the time being, Russia has not taken the Zaporozhye under total control, which makes a referendum not advisable.
Sergei Kiriyenko, first deputy chairman of the Russian presidential administration, personally visited the Kherson reigon. Kiriyenko made a number of important statements as a result of his visit:
Any residents of the Kherson region will be able to apply for Russian passports in the near future;
Russia will gradually finance all social spheres — pensions, social payments, salaries, which were previously paid by the Ukrainian authorities.
The Kherson region will become a full-fledged region of Russia, similarly to how it was the case of Crimea. There will be no entry time discrimination."

Typical Russian fake news. The elections will not be fair. This is the Russians we are talking about. Remember Crimea?

May 2014, American Pew found "Crimean residents are almost universally positive toward Russia .. Overwhelming majorities say the March 16th referendum was free and fair (91%)" <https://is.gd/agkuT2>
Gallup poll (sponsored by the U.S. government, suddenly), in June 2014 <https://is.gd/xptTX9> (page 28) had found that the vast majority of the Crimeans agree that the referendum expressed their will fairly.
In February 2015, the major German pollster GfK had found similar results <https://is.gd/Yhm15G>: when Crimeans were asked "do you endorse Russia's annexation" 93% gave positive response while only 4% said they dislike it.
That's what drives the Westerners so mad: the glaringly obvious fact
that the overwhelming majority of the locals volutarily preferred to join Russia instead of "association with the EU" etc (because the Westerners
keep such a big wishful thinking that everyone must be dreaming of being somehow associated with "the west").

DAVID GREENE, HOST: So it's been nearly four years now since Russia seized the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine by force. This was a move that led to sanctions against Russia, also soured relations between Russia and the West. NPR's Moscow correspondent Lucian Kim was in Crimea when Russian troops arrived, and he returned there this week. We began our conversation with Lucian talking about the changes he's noticed since Russia took over.
LUCIAN KIM, BYLINE: What I found most surprising is that people were afraid to talk on microphone even if they support the takeover, even if they
support Russian President Vladimir Putin. The main complaint I heard from almost everyone I talked to was that there's not enough work, that prices have doubled because the land connection to Ukraine has been cut. One driver even told me that the bribes have doubled.
