“I
don’t even know. Why not? I’m not really into politics, so I have no
firm opinion about it. I’m for world peace. Everyone has the right to go
on holiday wherever they want.”
Volodymyr Pidvoyniy
ethnographer
“Sure – Ukrainians can travel to any place they want, we’re a free nation. Yes, Crimea is annexed, but it’s not legally prohibited. I myself definitely wouldn’t go there: partly because of the annexation, (but) partly because of the bad transport accessibility.”
Alina Melnikova
student
“As for me, it’s everyone’s personal matter. I wouldn`t go to Crimea, because I’m sure I’d feel uncomfortable there. I used to go to Yalta every year before the annexation, and I’m used to seeing Crimea as Ukrainian. Now everything has changed: my friend who visited Crimea told me there are a lot fewer tourists, and Russian flags are everywhere.”

“No. It would mean to give money not to Ukrainians, but to the people who, so to speak, are at war with Ukraine. But as for me, I never go on vacation at all.”
