Lenine Raion (Ukrainian: Ленінський район, Russian: Ленинский район), known by Ukrainian authorities[nb 1] as Yedi Quyu Raion (Ukrainian: Єдикуйський район, romanized: Yedykuiskyi raion, Crimean Tatar: Yedi Quyu rayonı) is one of the 25 regions of the Crimea. It is located in the eastern part of the peninsula. The population of the district speaks 86% Russian, 9% Ukrainian, and 5% Other. The administrative centre of Lenine Raion is the urban-type settlement of Lenine. Population: 61,143 (2014 Census).[1]

Populated places include: Cheliadinove, Ohon'ky, Kostyrine, Naberezhne, Frontove, Yehorove, and Zavitne

In July 2020, the Verkhovna Rada approved an administrative reform in Crimea

2020 Ukrainian Administrative Reform

In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which was at the time occupied by Russia, and is still ongoing as of October 2023. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether.

Lenine / Yedi Quyu Raion was abolished, and its territories to become a part of Kerch Raion, but this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.[2]

Notes

  1. ↑ The renaming has been effected by Ukraine's decommunization laws, but as Crimea is outside of Ukrainian control, this decision has had little practical effect.
