History edit
Previously, the settlement was known as the Ai-Serez village (Crimean Tatar: Ay Serez). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[4]
In 1886, the village of Ai-Serez was located in the Taraktash Volost of the Feodosia Povit of the Taurida Governorate. At that time, the settlement had a population of 655 inhabitants; it had two mosques located in its settlement.[5] In the 1897 Russian Empire census, the population increased to 1,464 inhabitants, 1,458 of which belonged to the Muslim faith.[6]
