Location of cities on the Crimean peninsula, using de facto pre-2023 [lower-alpha 1] administrative boundaries, with red dots indicating Russian-occupied cities and the blue dot marking Balaklava, the city status of which is generally not recognized. [lower-alpha 2] [3] The pre-2023 administrative area of Sevastopol, on the southwestern end of the peninsula, is shaded in light gray.

There are 18 [lower-alpha 2] populated places in the Crimean peninsula that are recognized as having city status. [7] [8] The territory of Crimea has been disputed between Russia and Ukraine since Russia's covert invasion and internationally unrecognized annexation of the peninsula on 18 March 2014. [9] [10] [6] [11] [12] The region is recognized by most countries as Ukraine's Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol as one of Ukraine's cities with special status while, since its annexation, the region has been de facto governed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol as a city of federal importance. [6] [13] [14] [15] As of 2014, the largest city on the peninsula by population according to Russia's post-annexation census was Sevastopol, with a recorded population of 393,304 people, while the peninsula's second largest city was Simferopol, with 332,317 people. [8] The least populous city on the peninsula was Alupka, which was recorded with a population of 7,771 people in the 2014 census. [8]

In Ukraine, city status (Ukrainian : місто, romanized: misto) is granted by the country's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, to settlements of 10,000 people or more or to settlements of historical or regional importance. [16] [17] Following its occupation and annexation of Crimea, Russia recognized and maintained the existing status of the peninsula's 18 cities. [8] In 2019, Russian officials granted the settlement Balaklava, located in Sevastopol's Balaklava urban district, the status of a city, although still keeping it as part of Sevastopol. [18] [19] Due to the international support for UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262, which recognizes Ukrainian sovereignty over Crimea and endorses a policy of non-recognition of Russia's occupation of the peninsula, the new city status is largely not recognized. [4] [6]

Following the passing of decommunization laws, the city of Krasnoperekopsk was renamed in 2016 to Yany Kapu (its original Crimean Tatar name) for Krasnoperekopsk's connection to people, places, events, and organizations associated with the Soviet Union. [20] [21] [22] Two cities on the peninsula (Kerch and Sevastopol) were awarded by Soviet officials with the honorary title Hero City of Ukraine in 1973 and 1965, respectively, for their resistance to the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II; the titles were renewed in 2022 by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. [23] [24]

Administrative divisions

From independence in 1991 to 2020, 11 cities in the autonomous republic were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the autonomous republic's remaining five cities were located in 14 raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions. [25] [26] [7] Sevastopol, as one of two [lower-alpha 3] cities given special status by the constitution, was governed together with the city of Inkerman and other nearby settlements by the Sevastopol City Council, independently from the autonomous republic. [27] [29] Since the country's independence in 1991, the territory of the Sevastopol City Council has been divided between four urban districts: Gagarin, Lenin, Nakhimov, and Balaklava. [7]

On 17 July 2020, the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada passed a major administrative reform, abolishing the autonomous republic's 11 city municipalities and 14 raions and merging them into 10 reformed raions. [16] [30] [1] The ten raions that make up the territory of the autonomous republic are Bakhchysarai, Bilohirsk, Dzhankoi, Yevpatoria, [lower-alpha 4] Kerch, [lower-alpha 5] Kurman, [lower-alpha 6] Perekop, [lower-alpha 7] Simferopol, Feodosia, [lower-alpha 8] and Yalta raion. [lower-alpha 9] [1] For Sevastopol, the Verkhovna Rada merged Inkerman and other surrounding areas outside Sevastopol's city boundary (except Balaklava, which remained administratively part of Sevastopol) into the enlarged Bakhchysarai raion. [1] Due to the region's continued occupation since 2014, the new raions and boundaries have remained solely de jure [lower-alpha 1] and Russian officials continue to use the pre-reform administrative divisions in Crimea.

Notes

  1. 1 2 The initial administrative reform laws passed in 2020 were not de jure enacted for Crimea at the time due to a provision within the laws delaying the imposition of the new subdivisions until the Ukrainian government regained control of the peninsula in some indeterminate future date. On 7 September 2023, an amendment to the original law entered into force which removed the previous provision and enacted the new subdivisions from that date, thereby making them fully legally in effect since 2023. [1] [2]
  2. 1 2 Due to the continued international recognition of Crimea as sovereign territory of Ukraine and the non-recognition of Russia's jurisdiction over it, the United Nations General Assembly and most of the international community do not recognize administrative changes made by Russian-appointed officials in Crimea, including the granting of city status to Balaklava. [4] [5] [6]
  3. The other city with special status is Kyiv, the national capital. [27] [28]

  5. New raion created on 7 September 2023 from the merger of Lenine raion (known in Ukraine as Yedy-Kuiu raion since 2016) and Kerch municipality. [1] [2] Due to the Russian occupation of Crimea since 2014, the raion as well as the Ukrainian name have only de jure status. [31] [32]
  6. Previously known as Krasnohvardiiske Raion in Ukraine prior to 2016 and enlarged on 7 September 2023 to include additional territories according to an earlier administrative reform in 2020. [33] [1] [2] Due to the Russian occupation of Crimea at the time of the renaming and reform, the new name and boundaries have only de jure status. [32] [31]
  7. Previously known as Krasnoperekopsk Raion in Ukraine prior to 2016 and enlarged on 7 September 2023 to include additional territories according to an earlier administrative reform in 2020.

  8. New raion created on 7 September 2023 from the merger of Kirovske raion (known in Ukraine as Islam-Terek raion since 2016) and Sovietskyi raion (known in Ukraine as Ichki raion since 2016).
