I had heard of the Crimea before, I think it was when Gorbachev
was held hostage in his dacha there during the last days of the
Soviet Union. They mentioned something about it being a vacation
place that many Russians enjoyed in summer. However, at that
time I never thought it would be a place that I would visit.
And about 8 months ago, I became interested in taking a trip
to one of the countries of the former Soviet Union. At first, I
thought Moscow and then I began to research places to go
and when I found information on the Crimea, I decided this
was the place for me to visit first.

"And an even warmer welcome from the OVIR – You Must
Leave Immediately !" Simferopol – capital of the
Crimean Autonomous Republic – this was built in the
18th century by the Russians on the ruins of the Tatar city of Ak-Mechet,
which long before that, was the Scythian city of Neapolis.
Soviet planners made it the transportation hob of Crimea, from whose
airports and train stations, holiday-makers from all over the old
Union arrived to enjoy the warm Mediterranean sun.

Hi! My name is Peter Buckley. Iam afreelance Photo Journalist
from N. Ireland. Irecently visited the Crimean Region of
the Ukraine and became fascinated and enthralled by
the diversity of its people their cultures and way of life,their
enterprise and ingenuity were a tonic to my jaded western eye. I
travelled with Nataliya and my genial host Eugene tothe mountain
areas and I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the landscape,
snow covered in its winter cloak,the magnificent Orthodox Monastries,
built literally into the mountain side and yet in complete harmony
with their natural surroundings.
