History
editOkhotnykove was first mentioned in a document dating to 19 April 1806, where its population was listed, in seventeen households, as including 105 Crimean Tatars, ten Crimean Roma, and four slaves.[1] Between 1860 and 1864, the village was completely depopulated after its inhabitants fled amidst the Crimean War, and repopulated by Volga Tatars.[2]
In 1926, the village had a population of 95. Of this population, 59 were Ukrainians, 24 were Tatars, and 13 were Estonians.[3] With the deportation of the Crimean Tatars, the village was renamed to Okhotnykove by an act of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet on 18 May 1948.[4]
In 2011, the Okhotnykovo Solar Park was constructed in the village by Activ Solar.[5]
Demographics
editAccording to the 2001 Ukrainian census, 69.7 percent of people in Okhotnykove spoke Russian, with 16.8 percent speaking Ukrainian and another 12.2 percent speaking Crimean Tatar.[6] The total population of Okhotnykove was 1,550 according to the 2014 Crimean census,[7] a decline from its 2001 population of 1,696.[8]
