Officials of the ‘Ministry of resorts’ in annexed Crimea have presented new tourist logo of peninsula and showed brandbook ‘Me. Crimea. A point of attraction’. Photoblogger Segei Anashkevich claims that his pictures were used for this brandbook and ‘Ministry’ had simply stolen this works.  

‘Everything could be alright, but photos for brandbook were simply stolen! Nobody applied neither with the request to buy them nor with asking for permission to publish them. Nay, no authors were appointed at this brandbook, which followed designed logo’, Anashkevich reported.

He also said that designer phoned him in the morning, who chaotically explained ‘terrible time trouble’ like pictures were found in the internet and ‘ministry’ had no time to seek the author of snapshots.

‘Further the asking do nothing, get into position and join the good purpose of popularization of Crimea sounded’, Sergei Anashkevich explained, noted, that designers themselves got for their job nearly 1 mln rubles (~$14500).

Now blogger is holding a poll among his subscribers. He asks people to post their opinion about happened accident and suggest them three variants:

• Theft or good purpose?
• Make a discount for good purpose?
• Consider designers actions the theft?
