Investments in Crimea remain a risky business, and without significant economic growth, entrepreneurs are unlikely to come to the region themselves, believes Igor Nikolaev, director of the Institute for Strategic Analysis of FBK Grant Thornton.
| | Naturally, if they make an offer that cannot be refused, they will come. But let's be honest, they themselves do not feel a huge desire to invest. 1 trillion rubles. - this is a lot of money. But in fact, there are still other regions of the country that would also like to be equipped. In general, 1 trillion rubles. - This is theoretically possible, but it is almost still very difficult even with our approaches to stimulating business to invest somewhere, "he told Kommersant[2] | |

2023: The Ministry of Economic Development allocates 2.7 billion rubles to support the tourism industry
The Ministry of Economic Development sends 2.7 billion rubles to support the tourism industry of Crimea. The head of the department, Maxim Reshetnikov, announced this at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in early May 2023.
| | Now we have received almost 4 billion rubles from the sale of assets of foreign residents through the Ministry of Economic Development. On your instructions, we will send part of this money, namely 2.7 billion rubles, to support the Crimean tourist business in order to compensate for the decrease in tourist flow. This is what we have now, - said Reshetnikov. | |
According to him, in 2023, twice as much was allocated to support tourism as in 2022 - 13 billion rubles, which were sent to 64 regions of the country.
In mid-March, at a meeting by Vladimir Putin, Reshetnikov said that the tourist flow to Crimea in 2022 relative to 2021 sank by a third. The minister then proposed 10%, which foreign companies pay when leaving Russian assets to the budget of the Russian Federation through the ministry (in particular, from tourism, leasing companies), to send to support the tourism industry of Crimea and Sevastopol. The President supported this initiative and instructed to provide such support to tourist organizations of the peninsula.
According to Kommersant in early May 2023, the decrease in demand for vacations in Crimea is due to logistical difficulties: the airport in Simferopol has been closed for more than a year, travel by car across the Crimean bridge is difficult, and there are not enough trains. Against this background, rest in Sochi has risen in price by 30%. The Russian government will allocate almost 170 million rubles for the development of tourism in the Krasnodar Territory, the newspaper points out.
According to Reshetnikov, despite the general increase in prices for accommodation in the summer of 2023, the cost of hotels in Crimea is lower than in 2022 - "primarily due to transport restrictions."[4]
Digitalization
2024: Results and plans of digitalization of the construction industry in the region
The head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov on November 7, 2024 announced the progress of the introduction of the information project management system (IPMS) in the construction industry of the region, which allows you to create a unified database of objects from the design stage to commissioning.
According to the press service of the head of the Republic of Crimea, digitalization of the construction sector helps to reduce the cost of capital construction projects and increases the effectiveness of monitoring the quality and timing of work.
| | This involves the creation of a single database of objects, from the design stage to commissioning. In fact, a digital vertical is being created - a format that significantly accelerates the procedure for receiving and transferring documentation, signing certificates of work performed, - said Sergey Aksyonov. | |
The Ministry of Construction and Architecture of the Republic of Crimea began the implementation of the ISUP in 2023. The system registered 338 objects with a construction period from 2024 to 2026. The digital platform ensures transparency of the construction cycle processes, reduces bureaucratic costs and increases the level of personal responsibility of participants.
The plans of the Crimean government include the integration of the ISUP with the systems of state construction supervision, urban planning and state expertise. Such a merger will create a comprehensive digital ecosystem for managing construction projects in the region.
From January 1, 2024, a mandatory requirement was introduced to maintain as-built documentation in electronic format when concluding contracts for the construction or reconstruction of capital construction facilities. This innovation is part of the overall strategy to digitalize the industry.
The introduction of digital technologies in the construction sector of Crimea is aimed at optimizing work processes, improving the quality of construction and ensuring effective control over the implementation of projects on time.[5]

1475: Seizure of Crimea by Turks upsets Ivan the Young's wedding to Mangup prince's daughter
Ivan III, after marrying the niece of the last Byzantine emperor Sophia Paleolog (1472), tried to strengthen the connection of the Rurikovich with the relatives of his second wife and marry his son from the first marriage of Ivan the Young to the daughter of the Mangup prince (principality of Theodoro in Crimea).
Negotiations in 1474 were successful, but the ambassadors of Ivan III who soon arrived in Crimea were no longer able to carry out the mission assigned to them, since in 1475 the capital of the principality, among many other Crimean cities, was besieged by the Turks who came to the peninsula.
The siege of Mangupta lasted six months. According to legend, Muscovites were among his defenders. After the fall of the capital, the principality, which fell under the rule of the Turks, quickly fell into disrepair.
