A Crimean official, on condition of anonymity, told RBC that documents are being prepared to transfer into the ownership of Russian Railways objects that belonged to the Ukrainian state railway carrier Ukrzaliznitsa and its subsidiaries. The whole procedure can take about two months; now they are calculating the funds that need to be spent on repairing the facilities, he clarifies.
The Russian and Ukrainian monopolies refused to comment on the situation.

Mriya director Vladimir Yarosh confirmed to RBC that the facility could be transferred to Russian Railways in the near future. “We’re really looking forward to this happening,” Yarosh said. “At least someone would have already picked it up, there’s almost no load.” He clarified that out of 1100 beds in the boarding house, only 26 are occupied today.
Former clients - retired railway workers, employees of Ukrzaliznytsia, their children and orphans will not go to Crimea this year “due to confusion with property rights,” a representative of the Ukrainian state-owned company told RBC.
Employees of the Pridneprovskaya Railway filed a complaint with the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, but have not yet received a response, the company's press service explained.
Five Crimean boarding houses will complement the already wide range of Russian Railways resorts (without Crimean acquisitions, the subsidiary of the state monopoly Russian Railways Health runs 15 sanatoriums and boarding houses with a capacity of 3880 beds; in 2013, more than 70 people vacationed there).
