Disputed territory

Russia

Traveling is discovering… Travelling is witnessing… Travelling is understanding…

After 12 hours wait in checkpoint, several luggage inspections and military questioning, I was finally granted access to the region that dominated the headlines of this 2014… Crimea!

Since its annexation by Russia few months ago, the autonomous region and its people are in the middle of a territory dispute.

What raised my interest? … Daily life!

How can a region switch from a country to a country? How will government administrations and institutions do? and people working for it? Will they just change flag and pursue as nothing happened?

How will networks work? Supplying, water, electricity, mobile coverage?

How will banking system change? and people already contracting loans or paying for retirement pensions under Ukrainian system?

How about citizenship? Will everyone be forced to change it? What about those against all this?

So many questions and dilemmas that no one could answer so far!

Then, let’s find it out by myself! 😃
