I don't think it's much to see in Volgograd, 1 week is enought. And probably 2 weeks in Sochi.

Go to Crimea (this is Ukraine and you don't need a visa). Crimea is really beautiful - kind of like Italy. The most popular resorts there are Yalta and Alushta. http://pages.prodigy.net/euroscope/crimea.html

My husband is from Krasnodar and his friend had recommended to him that when we go to the Black Sea, we go to the Crimea, but then after they thought about it, they thought there might be problems since I'm American. If the Ukraine doesn't require Americans to have a visa, can you think of any potential problems with us going there?

I spent 5 days in Sochi last summer. Not impressed. I wouldn't go back.

Give it a miss.
