Vyshnivka (Ukrainian: Вишнівка; Russian: Вишнёвка; Crimean Tatar: Tarhan), until 1948 Tarhan, is a village in the Krasnoperekopsk Raion, Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine. The settlement came under Russian occupation in 2014, and was subsequently unilaterally annexed, following a highly disputed referendum, which was vastly considered to be a sham vote.[1]
