Crimea, Peninsula in Eastern Europe
The Crimean Peninsula extends between the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, encompassing 27,000 square kilometers of plains, mountains, and coastal regions.
The region transferred from Russian control to Ukrainian administration in 1954 when Nikita Khrushchev incorporated it into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
The Crimean Tatars established their Khanate in the 15th century, building palaces and mosques that reflect their architectural traditions in cities like Bakhchysarai.
The northern section contains extensive agricultural plains where farmers cultivate grains and sunflowers, while the southern coast supports vineyards and fruit orchards.
The peninsula features numerous mud volcanoes that release mineral-rich substances, particularly concentrated in the Kerch region near the Sea of Azov.
