An Increase in Russian Vacationers to Ukraine - Brett Ferguson

National People's Vacation 2014-2015

With the start of the civil war throughout the Ukraine, a large amount of people have been fleeing the violence. Though since the beginning of the war, it seems that a certain group of people have seemed to flock to the Ukraine. Russian vacationers recently have chosen a new summer hot spot to hangout in and this place is Crimea and Donbass Provinces.

While most allegations of these vacationers being sent by the Russian government has been thoroughly denied, many vacationers have been doxxed through social media and have been found to be part of the Russian military forces and seem to be 'on temporary leave' for their extended vacation in the eastern Ukrainian provinces.
