Geography
editPoltavske is located in the northern part of the Crimean peninsula. The district border between the Krasnoperekopsk Raion and the Pervomaiske Raion is located on the southern edge of the settlement. The Vorontsivka river splits the village into two parts.[citation needed]
History
editThe village was mentioned for the first time in a document from 1784, and was most likely established while the region was still under the rule of the Crimean Khanate.[2] Following Crimea's annexation by the Russian Empire, the region was incorporated as part of the Taurida Governorate. In 1805, the village consisted of 29 yards, with 120 Crimean Tatars and 54 Gypsies dwelling in the settlement.[3] As the result of the Crimean War, the village was abandoned between 1860 and 1864, with many Crimean Tatars emigrating to Turkey. As the result of the Tatar exodus, ethnic Germans and Ukrainians started to populate the area. The 1926 Soviet census concluded that the village had 43 residents, of whom 13 were Ukrainians, while another 13 were Germans, with the latter group being ethnically cleansed from region in the early 1940s.[4] In the late 1940s, a collective farm was established in the settlement. As the result of that, ethnic Russian migrants from poor regions of the modern-day Russian Federation started to arrive in the village, as well as a new wave of Ukrainians.[4]
Demographics
