Pavel Troyan

“I have nothing against Russian tourists in Ukraine. By visiting our country, they can witness that there is no presence of ‘fascism’ as the Russian propagandists spread among their citizens.”
Alexander Tornoschyn
war veteran
“I do not have a negative attitude towards Russian tourists. But in fact, there are not many of them due to the crisis between two countries.”
Svetlana Krasnoslobodtseva
University lecturer
“There are not many tourists in Kyiv. Not only Russians, but other foreigners also hesitate to come here. Some of them think that Kyiv is not safe. I also consider the city center as safer, than suburbs.”
Anna Yarovskaya
Student
“I am from Odesa and I see tourists from Russia. For me this is absolutely normal and profitable for our country. They, like any other tourists, spend a certain amount of money for having a rest here.”
Tamara Zhuk
Cleaner
“I am not against Russian tourists. We used to live like three sisters: Ukraine, Belarus, Russia. If I will be against having them here, in the future, in case of my visit to Russia they will show the same attitude to me.”
Galina Skorogolyna
Cleaner
“For many years we were living in peace with Russians. Now we became enemies. Our government is responsible for the current situation. Therefore, I am not against guests from Russia.”
