While I’m writing the answers to your questions and the continuation of the story, I’ll share a link.
https://pikabu.ru/saved-stories/2254766Someone on Pikabu describes their trip to Crimea, and he takes photos much better than I do.
In that article, cave monasteries, the sea coast, the Crimean observatory.

I’m sorry, the first link is wrong, I shared my ‘saved-stories’ it’s only available for myself. Sorry.
The correct link is

https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2025/08/ukraine/comment-page-2/#comment-1084843Cossacks was a lyfestyle. The closest analogue is Robin Hood and Сo 🙂
A community of people who do not live by the laws of any of the neighboring states, self-governing paramilitary group.This is how the Zaporozhian Cossacks emerged. Kievan Rus dissapeared, and the Crimean Khanate and the Principality of Poland-Lithuania, who occupied the land, were alien in ethnicity, culture and religion.
Cossacks could hire themselves out to perform services for those who paid them money – some time by Khanate, other time by Principality.
Later, this group of people (sometime during the rule of Bohdan Khmelnytsky) joined the reviving Russian state. Thus, it can be said that from this moment on, the Cossacks became a subethnos – part of a larger ethnic group, with its own distinct differences.
The Wild Field – territory occupied by the Cossacks, had many Russian toponyms since Kievan Rus. Now it’s Lugansk, Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhie, Nikolaev, Odessa, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkov, Kherson, Transnistria, Belgorod, Kursk, Voronezh, Rostov and some more.
About bread – Catholics perform communion with unleavened bread (*Latin word hostia), and Orthodox Christians perform communion with yeast bread (*Greek word πρόσφορα. By the way, if you studied physics, algebra and astronomy well, you will be surprised to find that you know the names of many Greek letters and can read a Greek word.)
As for the bread that people ate every day – rye was common in Russia. Wheat varieties were not widely acclimatized here at that time. Rye was more stable and gave a harvest more reliably, so rye (black) bread with sourdough is a national product.
There are many varieties of this bread in our stores, including Finnish, Lithuanian, Belarusian. The most popular is Borodinsky loafs, a USSR recipe for mass production, with coriander seeds.
If time permits, and I’m counting on a short standstill while people are busy preparing for September 1, I’ll try to make a video right around my house. Just so you don’t believe the Ukrainian propaganda that we’re catching hedgehogs here for food 🙂
