History edit

After the end of World War II, the Crimean peninsula was subjected to a campaign of ethnic cleansing by the Soviet Union, in which the Indigenous Crimean Tatar people of Crimea were deported.^[1] Crimea was incorporated as the Crimean Oblast into the Russian SFSR.^[2] The village, previously known by its native Crimean Tatar name Kyzyl-Chonrav, was given its current name by the Russian SFSR on 18 May 1948 as part of a large-scale renaming campaign that removed the native names of Crimean settlements and replaced them with Slavic ones.^[3]
