Kateryna Kalinichenko, student:
“I wouldn’t go to Crimea because I just can’t afford it. But why not? I regard Crimea as a holiday resort, not as the territory of another country.”
Vladimir Melnyk, aviation worker:
“I would most probably not go there, due to the lack of information. My friends from Crimea say it’s quite expensive and dirty there these days, which is why I wouldn’t go. On top of that, it might not be safe.”
Julia Klymenko, editor-scriptwriter:
“No, I would never in my life go there. This territory has been seized. Crimea is Ukrainian and is now occupied by Russia.”
Serhiy Yevdochenko, Kyiv history museum employee:
“Crimea is now occupied by katsapy (a derogatory term for Russians) and if you go there, there’s a chance that you won’t come back. I don’t want to go there: it would feel like going on vacation to Nazi Germany during the Second World War.”
Mykhailo Pravdyuk, pensioner:
“I wouldn’t go to Crimea, because of the situation there. Crimea is neither ours anymore, nor safe.”
