And in parallel with the beach leisure, cultural and educational recreation, the journalist talks with tourists, asks them about Crimea and uploads a video on his channel in YouTube. So, a few days ago, the Briton posted a 9-minute video from Crimea, which has already been watched by more than 25 thousand people.
"This year has been quite a tough one, and we've all been through rather a lot. So, I propose for now, some positive. We are simply going to speak to people here, on a Russian beach, in Eupatoria, Crimea, see what's going on!", — says Graham at the beginning of the video.
The British journalist has various questions for tourists. He asks vacationers whether they have arrived for the first time, why they chose Crimea, how they repose, how satisfied they are with the infrastructure and food. All the answers of the guests of the peninsula − from Kostroma, Kamchatka, St. Petersburg − are there in the video.
"Hi, we are from Kostroma, we’ve come to Eupatoria for the first time, as a family, and we are in awe, it’s amazing, unforgettable! The beach is excellent, the sea is warm – the Black sea is the very best!" — says Zhanna from Kostroma.
"Here it is pretty much summer all year-round, always warm!!" — Katya, a guest from St. Petersburg, adds.
"I’ve been visiting Eupatoria off and on for years, since 2006 when Crimea was Ukraine, then in recent years, since Crimea has become Russia – says Maksim. – Something I like about Crimea – the beaches are monitored, there is no smoking allowed on the beaches, areas for smoking are separate, areas with deck chairs are separate, and people are friendly with each other! It’s excellent!"
At the end of the mini-film, Graham Phillips promised his subscribers new reports from Crimea.
