Some of the new vineyards are right next to Balaklava and seem to be just replacement for a few long abandoned vineyards. This area, in The Valley of the Shadow of Death of Light Brigade fame, is known for having a unique climate that is well suited to vineyards. The Greeks brought the first vines with them 2500 years ago. Most of the settlements all along the north and east coast of the Black Sea were started by the Greeks.

Inkerman winery, on the other hand, dates back quite some time but the wine comes from a slightly different area and the difference in taste is noticeable.

There is some confusion till as to who is doing what to which winery and methinks the fat lady has yet to sing concerning both entities.

RUSSIA, May 20, (Novinite) - Russian construction workers are already building a bridge that will link mainland Russia to the Crimean peninsula which the country incorporated last year.

The news was first announced by a Crimean association called “Simferopol” (the administrative center of Crimea) which posted pictures of the works on Facebook.

The 19-km bridge will link Crimea to Krasnodar in “mainland Russia” through the Kerchen Strait, which connects the Azov and the Black Sea.

The company tasked with building the bridge is Stroygazmontazh”, owned by Russian businessman Arkady Rotenberg who is often pointed to as part of President Putin’s inner circle.

Construction is scheduled to end in 2018, according to local media outlets such as Korrespondent.net. Others mention a possible price tag go USD 8 B.

Crimea broke away from Ukraine to join Russia after what it describes as a local referendum, in a move which failed to gain much international recognition and which ever seen has been a bone of contention between the West and Moscow.

I appeal to the nationalists of all stripes: SEND THIS VIDEO anti-capitalist, anti-corruption and ANTIBELOVEZHSKY, NOT an anti-Russian and anti-Ukrainian !!!
For those who were born after the collapse of the USSR: the Soviet period - the heyday of the South Coast resort. Every day in the summer Simferopol airport received 230 aircraft (every 7 minutes), in 2013 - 23 aircraft. At the Simferopol railway station arrived 63 trains a day in 2013 - 31. Trolleybus made 500 flights a day with an interval of 4 min., In 2013, 61 flights a day within 15 minutes. Maritime transport served 6 million 300 thousand. Passengers a year, in 2013 - 1.5 million. The total number of tourists per year in the Crimea in Soviet times was between 8 and 10 million people., Including kursovochnikov and "savages" of them 3 million holidaymakers traveling. The cost of 24-day treatment and rest in Soviet times - 30-40 rubles. when the actual cost up to 170 rubles. The average salary of workers was 150 rubles. In 2012, the cost of a 24-day stay in the cheapest motels around 1 thousand. Dollars at an average salary of $ 300. This "catch up" Tsarist Russia, where the cost of one month of treatment and accommodation was from 150 to 300 rubles. at a salary of highly qualified workers 30 rubles. The social composition of holidaymakers in the Crimea in tsarist times, consisted only of representatives of the ruling class, so in 1915 - the total number of tourists in 1399 people. there was not a worker or peasant. The first resort for the poor was opened in 1901 with 12 seats, but to get there it was necessary to permit the police. There were treated the clergy, were few merchants, wealthy farmers and 2 workers (1910-1912). A total of 3 resort opened for the poor with 45 seats. In the Soviet period in the 1980s, 55% of holidaymakers were workers and farmers, engineers, and 35% of employees, 10% - pensioners, students and other categories of citizens.

And again, all the comments from the mat to remove, spare us, Soviet-educated women !!! We're not used to the mat !!!
