The former state dacha No. 1, nationalized by Crimea, and subsequently the first building of the boarding house "Wisteria", which was built in 1955 for Nikita Khrushchev, is in a neglected state. Local residents say it has been closed and sealed for many years. But in the last few months, they noticed a change: someone was trimming the bushes on the property and removing old leaves.
Abandoned construction sites, like the boarding house in the village of Katsiveli near Yalta, which began to be built back in the 1970s, are still found on the coast. They usually have a complex history: repeated changes from hand to hand, different options for using the territories, none of which were ultimately implemented, or the disappearance of the owner altogether.
Many generations of residents of the Soviet and post-Soviet space have become accustomed to buying wine by the glass when vacationing in Crimea. Since this year, Russian legislation has been in effect on the peninsula prohibiting such sales.
The “Valley of Toilets” near Sudak - as local residents dubbed the unauthorized plots in the recreational area with quickly erected low structures for the future legalization of land rights with the help of pickets - is almost destroyed. Actions to demolish buildings located on such areas are taking place throughout the peninsula. An inventory carried out last year by the Ministry of Property of Crimea revealed in seven regions of the republic 59 self-occupied territories covering an area of 1451 hectares, on which 1601 “capital construction projects” were erected,” RBC lists some of the changes.
