Default Sevastopol Crimea

Spotted yesterday my first ever 75 in Russia and it was near the central market in Sevastopol Crimea on Russian plates.

Saw a 75 in Sevastopol Crimea several years ago, but it was on Ukranian plates - but then again the Crimea was in the Ukraine before the Russians stole it !

Was very impressed by the Crimea war panorama in Sevastopol, very cleverly done - brings back some good memories.....

I thought it still was in the Ukraine, just because someone steals your car does not mean it's theirs

If you don't mind me asking, what's it like spending part of the year in the crimea? Is it a problem getting in and out, visa etc?

If you don't want to answer, that's fine just interesting to see someone living in an unusual part of the world.

Topman, It has its issues but overall I still enjoy living here for part of the year, I have been doing so for over 10 years now. I used to have Ukrainian residency so when Russia took over I was automatically entitled to Russian residency so I have no problems getting in and out at the moment as long as I go via Moscow. When I have to renew it things might change.
However I am now looking forward to going back to France at the end of the month.
