Just noting that your original post said nothing about entering Crimea from Russia.
When you say "...it seemed easier to throw out the question to a large audience..." you're not taking into account the simple fact that there are far more people "throwing out the question" than there are experienced folks willing to answer at length. Add to this the less obvious fact that most of these trips don't ever happen per the early questions and vague plans, and that a great many questioners never even bother checking back to thank those who respond or contribute to the knowledge base which contributed to their trips.
I sound needlessly dour today, which isn't my intent. I'm just hoping to be informative about how this is most likely going to work best for you (and those who follow).
best,
Mark
