For northern people who mostly live in quite severe climatic conditions Crimea with its warm sea and bright sun always was a territory of happiness, some kind of reminder about the Promised land. Traditional annual vacations in Crimea were more than just a travel - it was some sort of pilgrimage, the way leading you to guaranteed sacral transformation. Opened minds and naked bodies were just like representation of newly regained freedom. This sense of Crimea as No Man's land dramatically disappeared last years when political events changed the people's perception of these territories.
