    It seems surprising that Russians would want to buy property in the occupation zone, with the war still ongoing. If Ukraine wins, no doubt their property rights will be declared null and they will be sent packing. Why take the risk? My only guess is that they must be so heavily propagandised as to not seriously contemplate the possibility of loss.

      They basically have no clue what’s happening as state media represents it as some sort of utopia with most modern buildings being newly rebuilt.

      Part propaganda, part opportunist. If you can get property at a fraction of its normal price with the chance that it will be valuable in the future, it might be worth the gamble.

      They’re told it’s Russian territory. They really don’t know that it’s only a temporary occupation.

      Russians are still holidaying in Crimea. The propaganda is seriously strong on those that don’t want to see through it.
