2009-09-05T21:09:00.001+03:00

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea is located on the territory of the Crimean peninsula, which juts out deeply into the Black Sea and is connected with the continent by the narrow Perekopskiy isthmus. It is washed on the east by the Kerch strait and the Sea of Azov with its Sivash bay. The area of Crimea is 27,000 sq.km , which makes 4.5% of the total territory of Ukraine. Distance between the extreme points of peninsula: from north to south - 195 km., from west to east -325 km.
2.23 million people or 4.35% of the total population of Ukraine live in the republic, 60% of those live in towns.
Crimea is divided into two quite different parts, such as northern, with plains (4/5 of the total area) and southern, with mountains, spread from Sevastopol to Feodosiya. Mountains of Crimea, consisting of three ridges in the western part and two ridges in the eastern part, which are divided by valleys, remind us of strong waves, which have scraped slopes from the coast side and there are more gentle slopes on the steppe side. The highest ridge is the first from the coast slope with the height of 1.5 km above the sea level. The highest point of the peninsula is the apex of the mountain Roman-Kosh, 1545 m.
The main ridge is separated from the sea by a narrow strip of fertile land, with a width from 2 to 8 km, known in it as South Coast of Crimea. Alushta, Partenit and Big Yalta, which includes Massandra, Livadiya, Oreanda, Gurzuf, Miskhor, Gaspra, Koreiz, Alypka, Semeiz and Foros are located here. It is in this very place, where the majority of prestige health resorts of the high class and the complex of children health improving camps, "Artek", are situated. Vineyards, which provide famous Crimean wines, are also concentrated here.The second and third ridges are a bit lower, 700-500 meters and 300-150 meters above the sea level, respectively. Ancient cave towns and monasteries, as well as modern Bakhchisaray, Simferopol, Belogorsk and Old Crimea are situated between them.
State Nikitskiy botanical garden, created 184 years ago, is located close to Yalta. The richest collection of wood and flowers and fruit cultivations are gathered here. Garden employees have collected and created about 2000 varieties of roses, 1500 varieties of peaches, etc. The famous institute of viticulture and wine-making, situated in Yalta, is the leader in this branch of industry in the south of Ukraine and Russia. Such unique sorts of Crimean wines as "Muskat white of the red stone" and others were created here. The biggest wine producer - plant "Massandra" is also located here.

Geography and Climate of Crimea

2009-07-09T21:56:00.001+03:00

Crimea is located on the northern coast of the Black Sea and on the western coast of the Sea of Azov, bordering Kherson Oblast from the North. Although located in the southwestern part of the Crimean peninsula, the city of Sevastopol has a special but separate municipality status within Ukraine. Crimea's total land area is 26,100 km² (10,038 sq mi).

Crimea is connected to the mainland by the 5–7-kilometre (3–4 mi) wide Isthmus of Perekop. At the eastern tip is the Kerch Peninsula, which is directly opposite the Taman Peninsula on the Russian mainland. Between the Kerch and Taman peninsulas lies the 3–13-km (2–9 mi)-wide Strait of Kerch, which connects the waters of the Black Sea with the Sea of Azov.

The Crimean coastline is broken by several bays and harbors. These harbors lie west of the Isthmus of Perekop by the Bay of Karkinit; on the southwest by the open Bay of Kalamita, with the ports of Eupatoria and Sevastopol; on the north by the Bay of Arabat of the Isthmus of Yenikale or Kerch; and on the south by the Bay of Caffa or Feodosiya, with the port of Feodosiya.

The southeast coast is flanked at a distance of 8–12 km (5–8 mi) from the sea by a parallel range of mountains, the Crimean Mountains. These mountains are backed by secondary parallel ranges. Seventy-five percent of the remaining area of Crimea consists of semi-arid prairie lands, a southward continuation of the Pontic steppes, which slope gently to the northwest from the foot of the Crimean Mountains. The main range of these mountains shoots up with extraordinary abruptness from the deep floor of the Black Sea to an altitude of 600–750 metres (2,000–2,500 ft), beginning at the southwest point of the peninsula, called Cape Fiolente. At one time it was believed that this cape was crowned with the temple of Artemis, where Iphigeneia is said to have officiated as priestess. Uchan-su waterfall on the south slope of the mountains is the highest in Ukraine.

Numerous kurgans, or burial mounds, of the ancient Scythians are scattered across the Crimean steppes.

The terrain that lies beyond the sheltering Crimean Mountain range is of an altogether different character. Here, the narrow strip of coast and the slopes of the mountains are smothered with greenery. This "riviera" stretches along the southeast coast from Cape Sarych, in the extreme south, to Feodosiya, and is studded with summer sea-bathing resorts such as Alupka, Yalta, Gurzuf, Alushta, Sudak, and Feodosiya. During the years of Soviet rule, the resorts and dachas of this coast served as the prime perquisites of the politically loyal. In addition, vineyards and fruit orchards are located in the region. Fishing, mining, and the production of essential oils are also important. Numerous Crimean Tatar villages, mosques, monasteries, and palaces of the Russian imperial family and nobles are found here, as well as picturesque ancient Greek and medieval castles.

Most of Crimea has a temperate continental climate, except for the south coast where it experiences a humid subtropical climate, due to warm influences from the Black Sea. Summers can be hot (28 °C/82 °F Jul average), and winters are cool (−0.3 °C/31 °F Jan average) in the interior; on the south coast winters are milder (4 °C/39 °F Jan average), and temperatures much below freezing are exceptional. Precipitation in the interior is low with only 400 mm (16 in) a year. On the south coast precipitation is more than double that, with Yalta annually receiving about 1,050 mm (41 in). Because of its climate, the southern Crimean coast is a popular beach and sun resort for Ukrainian and Russian tourists.

Crimea (pronounced /kraɪˈmiːə/) or the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is the only autonomous republic of Ukraine. It is located on the northern coast of the Black Sea, occupying a peninsula of the same name.

The territory of Crimea was conquered and controlled many times throughout its history. The Cimmerians, Greeks, Persians, Goths, Huns, Bulgars, Khazars, the state of Kievan Rus', Byzantine Greeks, Kipchaks, and the Mongols all controlled Crimea in its early history. In the 13th century, it was partly controlled by the Venetians and by the Genoese; they were followed by the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire in the 15th to 18th centuries, the Russian Empire in the 18th to 20th centuries, the Russian SFSR and later the Ukrainian SSR within the Soviet Union in the rest of 20th century, Germany in World War II, and now Crimea is an autonomous Ukrainian administrative region.

Crimea is a parliamentary republic which is governed by the Constitution of Crimea in accordance with the laws of Ukraine. The capital and administrative seat of the republic's government is the city of Simferopol, located in the center of the peninsula. Crimea's area is 26,200 square kilometres (10,100 sq mi) and its population was 1,973,185 as of 2007.

Crimea was originally occupied by the Crimean Tatars, an ethnic minority who now make up about 13% of the population. The Crimean Tatars were forcibly expelled to Central Asia by Joseph Stalin's government. After the fall of the Soviet Union, some Crimean Tatars began returning to the region.
