Even if a person is already registered as an individual entrepreneur in his or her native country, it is necessary to register in Ukraine, too. If you already registered as a legal entity abroad and want to open a representative office in Ukraine, you have to submit an additional document – an extract from the register of foreign legal entities in the country of origin or any other similar document confirming the legal status of your company. To open a representative office in Ukraine, a foreign legal entity needs a special permit from Ukrainian Chamber of Trade and Industry. Registration is done by the State Registration Chamber. There are lots of legal firms providing their services on such registration and the fee for the service varies from 3000 to 4000 UAH (depending on a region of registration). And the term of registration usually takes at about 2 months.

Let me go into further detail and compare the status of a legal entity with that of an individual entrepreneur. If you are a for-profit organization, you should be familiar with the forms of incorporation under the Ukrainian law. These include the ZAO (closed joint-stock company), OAO (open joint stock company), and OOO (limited liability company), to most common types of companies. For example, to register OOO in Kyiv will cost you at about 2500-3000 UAH and the term of registration is 2 weeks.

In Ukraine, the most popular form of incorporation is a limited liability company (Ukrainin acronym is OOO). The creation of a limited liability company does not necessarily lead to a securities issue, and such companies are easier to manage, which differentiates them from joint stock companies. This form of incorporation is most popular with small and mid-sized businesses. It is similar to the LLC in the US, the PLC in Britain. You should also be aware that you may choose the name for a legal entity to be registered, but if you are an individual entrepreneur, you can only register using your own name. However, if you don’t fear the legal risk potentially resulting from errors on the part of your employees, or if you don’t expect daily cash operations, you can register as an individual entrepreneur. This type of structure has the advantage that it is much easier to close. But closing of a legal entity will take a lot of time and efforts as for a foreigner so as for any Ukrainian.

What documents are needed for business registration? To register as an individual entrepreneur, you need an application for state registration; a copy of your ID; a copy of your birth certificate; a copy of a document confirming your right to reside in Ukraine temporarily or permanently; a document confirming your residential address; and a receipt for payment of the registration fee (at about 120-150 UAH). E.g. in Kyiv to register as an individual entrepreneur will cost 1500 UAH, but in regions and other cities it’s cheaper.

The same documents are needed to register an OOO, plus a resolution to create an OOO, foundation documents (Articles of Association and a Memorandum of Association if there are two or more founders), and a receipt for payment of registration fees.

Here except underground plant, the tunnels and storages of fuel and a nuclear ammunition were also constructed (Object 820). It was the first and then unique in the country an underground complex on repair and hiding submarines.

Artificial “nest” for submarines, besides covers for seven boats, had the underground dry dock cut down in a rocky ground where full repair was usually made. From Balaklavsky bay the submarine came into the channel under its own power and further by means of special system of hawsers and windlasses was moving along half-kilometre tunnel. The plant was built in unti-nuclear relation of the first category of protection, and also had underground dry dock in length of 70 m, width – 10 m and depth – 7,5 m, there were big working areas as well. The biggest diameter of the tunnel is 22 m. From outside of the bay the entrance to the tunnel was blocked by large-tonnage floating caisson which was blown up by the air, and emerged. The exit from an underground complex at sea was also blocked by caisson which was taken aside, letting out submarines. The entrance to underground complex from Balaklavsky bay was well disguised. Thus the complex was completely isolated from environment. Its protection allowed to sustain a direct hit of a nuclear bomb in capacity up to 100 kilotons. The maximum height of an internal cavity of the complex reached heights of the three-storyed house.

Southward, near the underground channel, a special warehouse and storage for nuclear ammunition was built, and northward, protected warehouses for fuel. The underground warehouse for fuel was constructed in the form of underground vertical tanks and allowed to store up to 4 thousand tons of oil products. On narrow-gage road foodstuff, spare parts, torpedoes, an artillery ammunition and other necessary cargoes were driven and loaded at underground mooring from warehouse. There also was workshop on preventive inspection and repair of minor components of ships. The western exit from the channel was closed by the special construction consisting of precast concrete slabs of 2-metre width, 10-metre length and 7-metre height.

However, despite all uniqueness and power the underground plant in Balaklava started to lose the strategic importance. It was connected with transition of Navy fleet of the USSR to boats of other ratings. Therefore in 1994 the underground complex was taken out of service. In 1995 the last submarine of the Black Sea Fleet was moved out from Balaklava bay, and the plant completely passed to the jurisdiction of Ukraine.

Since 2003 by means of underground plant and arsenal the Naval museum complex “Balaklava” works, as a branch of the Central museum of Armed forces of Ukraine.

The Uzun-Syrt ridge, or Klement’ev mountain is a natural border between steppe Crimea and mountainous Crimea.Northward from a ridge there is almost smooth steppe, and southward there’re the tops of mountains.The nature as though has intentionally created here conditions for gliders flight. The matter is that the plateau is bent in the form of an arch in length of 7 km. Here over the Uzun-Tyrt the airflows are constantly formed. Gliders can hang in the air for many hours without landing.

According to pilots, there are only two such unique mountains on the planet. One mountain is in Montana state and the second one is in Crimea, Koktebel. Klement’ev Mountain. There is always wind for 365 days a year.

As the gliders say, even those who born to crawl will be able to fly on Klement’ev mountain. Airflows round this mountain face and change in such a manner that it is possible to hang in the air the whole day without a break.

Over 90 years the hang gliders, balloonists, paragliders, aviators and cosmonauts come to this mountain from different parts of the world. Here they are tested, trained and take part in international competitions.

Koktebel became the center of gliding in 30s of the last century. Here the first All-Union glider meetings were held, which have given a start to the whole generation of the Soviet pilots and aircraft designers. The Gliding Center was found by K.Artseulov known as the pilot and the actor, he was also grandson of famous Russian artist Ivan Aivazovsky.

Here in 70-80s first meetings and competitions of hang gliders and later paragliders took place. Exactly here there’re unique in their own way museums, such as Hand gliding museum in Feodosiya and Gliding and Parachuting museum in Koktebel.

Nowadays Koktebel and Feodosiya are recognized as centers of aeronautic sport. Annually, at the beginning of May in Feodosiya, the international competitions “Air brotherhood” and the championship on flights on thermal balloons are take place. You can easily participate in demonstration flight as a passenger.

At the beginning of September when “flying people” gather for the next annual meeting, the unforgettable impression remains from tens domes of paraplanes and delta planes hanging in the sky over Uzun-Syrt. Here you can take lesson with instructor or fly independently and perform fascinating flight over neighborhood.

Lastochkino Gnezdo survived a serious earthquake rated at 6 to 7 on the Richter scale in 1927. The building was not damaged, except for some small decorative items that were thrown into the sea along with a small portion of the cliff. However, the cliff itself developed a huge crack. For a long time, it was closed to the public due to the damage it suffered in that quake. The building would remain closed for the next forty years. Renovation and restoration on the building was started in only 1968. The project involved the restoration of a small portion of the castle and the addition of a monolithic console concrete plate to strengthen the cliff.

So let’s get back to some historical background of the building. The first building on the Aurora Cliff was constructed for the retired Russian general after Russian-Turkish war 1877-1878. The first structure he built was a wooden cottage romantically named the “Love Castle.” Later on, the ownership of the cottage passed to A. K. Tobin, a court doctor of the Russian Tsar. After his death the widow owned the cottage, but later sold it to Moscow tradeswoman Rachmaninova. She demolished an old building, and the wooden castle “Swallow’s nest” has appereared soon.

Baron von Steingel, a Baltic German noble who had made a fortune extracting oil in Baku, bought the cottage in 1911 and within a year had it replaced by the current building. The Scottish baronial and Neo Moorish styles had been introduced in the Crimea in the 1820s by Edward Blore, the architect of the Alupka Palace (1828-46).

In 1914, von Steinheil sold the building to P. G. Shelaputin to be used as a restaurant. But relatively soon the merchant died and the restaurant was closed.

For a short time after the Russian Revolution of 1917, the building was used only as a tourist attraction. In the 1930s, the building was used by a reading club of the nearby Zhemchuzhina resort. After reconstruction the building was opened again for visitors. Now there is a good Italian restourant inside, and you can also buy various souvenirs around the walls of the castle.

Full dinner or light meal in the restaurant would be a highlight of your visit to “Lastochkino Gnezdo”.

The cuisine of the restaurant is European, most notably, delicious Italian pasta which is popular among the visitors. Those who think that “pasta” is only macaroni will change their mind having tasted the specialities offered. Even Italian tourists enjoy “Pasta Imperiale”! It is almost impossible to resist the temptation to enjoy special desserts like the romantic dessert for two “Gran Desiderio”.

“Lastochkino Gnezdo” is situated at a distance of 20 km. from the centre of Yalta:

Going on vacation to Koktebel, it is definitely the sea and the sun, entertainments and excursions to museums as well as chance to visit plant of “Koktebel” vintage wines and cognacs. The plant existing today was opened in 1944. It has a full cycle of production. Here downhills, at different hight over the sea level more than thirty sorts of grapes are grown. The grape is processed and wines are aged in oak container then bottled.

The plant produces more than twenty brands of various wines having unique flavor. It’s difficult to imagine vacation in Koktebel without tasting of “Koktebel” plant production, e.g. dry, heady and dessert wines, for example, the “Kara Dag” name after an extinct volcano, and also widely known branded cognacs, such as “Koktebel”, “Crimea” and “Kutuzov”. They are aged in oak containers throughout twenty five years.

Vocation in Koktebel can include excursions in the Sunny Valley located to the West from Meganom cape. The valley is the sunniest place in Crimea. Here grapes of unique sorts have been growing here more than two and a half thousand years. You can attend the Museum of winegrowing and winemaking. Local cellars of “Arhaderesse” are also unique and they are constructed in slopes of ravines.

In the Sunny Valley such well-known Crimean wines as «the Black doctor» and «the Black colonel» are made. It’s the place of tourists attraction because the Sunny Valley has the most beautiful kinds of vineyards, braned wine shops and tasting rooms. There are all conditions for diving.

One of the most popular brands of wine made on “Koktebel” winery is dry white wine called Aligote. It freshens and gives live and has soft, harmonious ­­ taste with the expressed high-quality favor. But not every year Aligote will be pleasant for you, because the solar activity, plenty of rains or their absence can affect considerably the taste of such wine, therefore, rely on your own taste and predilections. Sometimes there is a peculiar bitter taste in such sort of grape.

You can go on excursion to the farm of duke Galitsyn, who was famous as a well-known wine maker. In “Novyi Svit” township the champagne factory was founded by Galitsyn. There are cellars in local rocks in where the bottles of excellent champagne are kept. Each bottle is put on for maturing by hand and is aged here not less than three years. The “Novyi Svit” champagne received Grand prix on a world’s fair in Paris in 1900. Exactly this sort of champagne was preferred by noblemen of Russia and an imperial family.

Vacation in Koktebel is a great chance to get you familar with the best wine making in Crimea, to taste them and to buy them directly from manufacturers.

Vacation in Koktebel can bring you various impressions. Comunication with unique nature which has special energy and more close acquaintance with history of township and people who left their trace there.

One of such person is an artist, a poet, a translator, a philosopher and a literary critic Maximilian Alexandrovich Voloshin. The most part of his life he had lived in Koktebel. The nature inspired the artist on creation of his best works.

Holidays in Koktebel will leave much more impressions for those who aren’t just limited with swimming and beach entertainments. They can visit Voloshin’s literary-memorial museum, one of the largest in Crimea.

Voloshin built the house according to his own project. But he didn’t like the first variant constructed in 1903. After that within nine years the house was reconstructed and changed until it became like now. This house was visited by many celebrities. Here Bulgakov and Mandelstam, Aleksey Tolstoy and Maxim Gorky, Gumilev and Marina Tsvetaeva were regular quests. After revolution the quest-house for people of creative jobs was opened here.

Today Voloshin’s literary-memorial museum includs more than eighteen thousand exhibits. On the ground floor there is a literary exposition, and on the second – art studio.

Vacation in Koktebel seems to be going down a treat for those who is interested or engaged in hang gliding. It’s considered that Koktebel is native land of this kind of sport in Ukraine. Competitions of glider pilots were held near Koktebel on Klementyev’s grief in the twentieth-thirtieth years of the last century. To get acquainted with gliding history in Koktebel you can visit a museum which is on Klementyev’s grief. The exposition of museum is presented in four halls. There you’ll find out information about the Higher flight glider school and its history.

The Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has approved the draft agreement on the mechanism of movement on the territory of Ukraine of military formations of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia. It is a question about movement out of places of a traditional dislocation in Sevastopol. In January of current year the draft agreement has been co-ordinated by representatives of foreign policy departments of two countries at the next session of a subcommittee concerning functioning of the Black Sea Fleet.

Putin has given the order Russian to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defence to carry on negotiations with Ukrainian party and on reaching the arrangement to sign the document.

Quote as saying in the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, coordination of draft agreement by Russian government does not mean that negotiations are finished. Ukraine reserves the right to demand to change some norms of that document. However, most likely, the coordination will do without essential editing.

The situation with the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea has sharply become strained, when in reply to an exit of Sevastopol Navy flotilla in a zone of the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict the former president of Ukraine Victor Yushchenko has signed the decree demanding from Russian military to notify about all the movements. So that the ship of Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation could leave a disposition place, the Fleet should co-ordinate it with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence during 10 working days.

At that times, the position of Kyiv has caused an expected bewilderment of the Russian authorities. In reply to Yushchenko’s decision the Head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov has declared that base agreements between Russia and Ukraine do not provide any restrictions on movement of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, their order should be registered in additional arrangements. As explained by the Minister despite numerous offers from Russia to discuss an order of movement of the Black Sea Fleet, Ukraine refused to consider this question. However, the destiny of Fleet has been suspended, the “orange” authorities demanded leaving the Russian ships after 2017.

After the victory of Viktor Yanukovych in February, 2010 on presidential elections the destiny of the Fleet has been solved quickly: Russia and Ukraine signed the new lease agreement which has been prolonged for 25 years after 2017 with possible prolongation for more five years, but a question with movement has not been settled then.

Now Yushchenko’s decree is still in force. «But sometimes we close our eyes to infringement of norms by Russia», – claims the interlocutor of «Газета.Ru» in the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Laspi bay is protected from western and northern winds by the Kush-Kaya mountain (663 meters), and from eastern mountain ridges by Kalanyh-Kaya mountain (625 meteres) and Ilja mountain, or as it also called Atanasa (739 meters). Because of the absence of convenient roads Laspi bay had remained secluded and quiet for a long time until Sevastopol – Yalta motorway was built. The water is so clean here, that there’s experimental mussels plantations for growing delicacy mollusks in Laspi bay.

The main peculiarity of the Laspi bay is its unique nature. You can also find lots of beautiful plants and herbs there. There’s one of the most beautiful trees with a rose-red body and brilliant emerald foliage of Greek strawberry tree as well as junipers, Stankewicz pine recorded in the Red book of USSR, the rarest inhabitant of Crimean woods pyracantha coccinea, butcher’s broom, jasmine, cistus, about two sorts of orchids, one of them is sparse comperia comperana. Fresh pure air is fulfilled with aroma of centenary evergreen trees.There is a magic beauty of Crimean mountains…Here is a real paradise.

There are lots of sanatoriums and recreation centers along the Laspi bay. But the best way to unite the nature is to stay here in tent camp as I did. So a few you words about the conditions usually provided by such tent camps. I paid 100 UAH for me and my wife per day (so 50 UAH for person a day). We were accommodated in a tent with two beds; we did not take any tent with us, just some food to have a snack. There were also a WC and a shower with fresh water 24 hours per day and even a fridge. It might be quite useful if you take some food with you. There’s a canteen, where you can have a solid meal. The cuisine is mainly Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean-tatar. Three meals daily, delicious home cuisine from 80 UAH, depending on the menu. Frankly speaking, we were fed like a prize turkey.

If you don’t want to stay in a tent camp you can put up your own tent wherever you find the place. I saw people who put up their own tents near the tent camp but used their facilities. Later I was told they paid 45 UAH per person. It’s weird only 5 UAH differences, so why should you carry a tent? If only it is not your final destination and you’re not going to travel further around Crimea. But such price is only till the middle of June then it doubles. Of course it’s not a luxurious apartment all of us know what the tent camp is like. But no doubt, a surrounding nature definitely worth it. I don’t remember the time where I slept so tight. The fresh air fulfilled with smell of evergreen trees makes you feel calm and relaxed.

What is more, there’s one thing I was impressed by is the water. It’s crystal. You can easily see crabs and fish even if you don’t wear a mask. Dolphins are passing by. And if you get up early in the morning you can be a witness of military exercises. Submarines and different boats are floating on the water. I am becoming silent. Still admire the place I live. Come and see everything with your own eyes.
