Why not rename the thread "Black Sea"?
When I started this thread way back, I did not know about any naturist locations east of Koktebel. Hence, the only ones I knew about were in the Ukraine. Then when pics from Fox Bay started to show up, I hastily got out my map because I didn't know where in the heck it was. When I did finally locate it, I assumed it was also in the Ukraine.

In my naive and simplistic view of the world, Ukraine is south, Russia north So I don't want separate threads for Ukraine and Russian nude beaches because the Russian one would fill up with northern beach pics and in my mind the Black Sea and St Petersburg are worlds apart. I don't even think of "Russia" and "Black Sea" as belonging in the same sentence (uh oh, now I'm probably really going to get flamed for that remark )

So, once again I have been educated. Now if you change the name of the thread to "Black Sea", then you would also include Romania and Bulgaria. It wasn't my intent to include pics from those countries. The pics I'm interested in here are the ones from the old USSR If anyone over there has any ideas as to how I could rename the thread to reflect that, by all means let me know To me, pics that look alike should go together. And I also naturally want to live in a perfect world where we all live and sunbathe au natural in harmony with each other and our neighbors to the east (or south or north or west). Politics and naturism don't always mix..and if you get on a boat and cruise east along that coastline of the Black Sea, is anyone going to start firing shots at you when you cross that invisible line into Russia? Probably not....

I also thought Divnosmorsk was in the Ukraine (west of koktebel?)

HOw about "Nude beaches of the Black Sea north and east coast"...?
