Geographical location of Crimea, presentation for a lesson on the surrounding world (3rd grade) on the topic. Presentation for the lesson "geographical location of the Republic of Crimea" Features of the geographical location of Crimea presentation
Geographical position. The Crimean mountainous physical-geographical country extends in a strip 50 km wide in the south of the Crimean Peninsula from Sevastopol to Feodosia for 180 km. In terms of the peculiarities of formation and structure, the variety of landscapes and their colorfulness, the Mountainous Crimea is an extremely original formation that stands out against the background of more or less monotonous neighbors - the flat dry steppe Crimea in the north and the Black Sea in the south.
Tectonically, the Crimean Mountains are a large fold, the southern wing of which plunges into the sea. Uplift and folding movements took place there already in the Mesozoic era, but the main mountain-building processes took place during the Cenozoic. At the same time, the southern part of the Crimean Mountains sank into the Black Sea depression along the fault line. This is how a steep slope was formed - the southern coast of Crimea. In addition to longitudinal faults, transverse faults also appeared, and magmatism manifested itself. In some cases, volcanoes were active, as evidenced by the fossilized extinct volcano - the Karadag massif. In other cases, magma froze in cracks in the earth's crust without breaking through to the surface. Over time, external forces (weathering, sea waves) destroyed the rocks that covered the magma massifs, so now they emerge on the surface in the form of separate mountains - Ayudag, Kastel. Tectonic processes in the Crimean mountains have not stopped to this day, as evidenced by earthquakes. The Crimean Mountains are mainly folded block mountains. They are composed of sedimentary rocks (sandstones, shales, limestones), and in some places - rocks of volcanic origin.
The hallmark of the Southern Coast of Crimea is Mount Ayudag (Bear Mountain), rising 572 m above sea level. It is formed from solidified magma. Igneous rock grey-green gabbro-diabase is harder than granite. It is a valuable facing material. Rice. Mount Ayudag, Gurzuf town
The Crimean mountains are formed by three parallel ridges - outer, inner and Main, replacing each other from north to south. The outer and inner strands are cuestas - elongated raised landforms of asymmetrical structure: their northern slope is gentle (corresponding to the inclination of the rock layers), and the southern one is steep (formed as a result of the “cutting” of layers by watercourses along fault lines. The outer strand is low (up to 400 m) . In the northern direction it gradually turns into a plain. The internal ridge is higher (up to 700 m). External processes have created bizarre shapes there. The main strand rises up to m. The highest peak of the Crimean mountains is located there - the city of Roman-Kosh (1,545 m The main ridge is divided by tectonic faults and erosion processes into massifs with flat surfaces - Yayla (Babugan-Yayla, Nikitskaya, Chatyr-Dag, Ai-Petrinskaya, Yalta, Karabi-Yayla). In the Crimean Mountains there are many water-erosive and karst landforms On the Chatyr-Dag plateau, for example, there are more than karst sinkholes, 135 caves, mines, wells.The southern and southeastern slopes of the Main Ridge, rapidly falling to the Black Sea, are called the Southern Coast of Crimea. This is a narrow (from 1 to 12 km) strip of coast, on which the rocks in some places approach the sea, and in others they retreat, forming amphitheaters.
Kizil-Koba The longest limestone cave in Ukraine is Krasnaya (Kizil-Koba), 21.1 km long. Its halls are decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and clusters of crystals. An underground river flows in the cave and there are many lakes. In the past it was a sanctuary, and now it is equipped for excursions. Soldatskaya The deepest cave in Ukraine is Soldatskaya (500 m), located on Karabi-yayla.
The climate of the Mountain Crimea, like the climate of the flat part of the peninsula, is moderate continental. However, there is a significant difference between them. The amount of precipitation in the mountains doubles and averages 600 mm per year, and on high peaks - up to mm per year. Summer in the mountains is cool: average July temperatures are only 15°C. Winter is snowy with average January temperatures of -4°C. Hail often falls in the Crimean Mountains, and in the spring snow avalanches descend from the highest mountains, sometimes causing significant damage. But the climate of the southern coast of Crimea is warm in Ukraine and resembles the subtropical Mediterranean (these are the so-called “northern subtropics”). It is affected by cyclones in winter and increased atmospheric pressure in summer. The proximity of the ice-free Black Sea and the mountains that protect the coast from northern winds are also important. On the southern coast of Crimea, average temperatures are positive all year round: in January from 5°C in the west to 1°C in the east, in July - about 24°C. The precipitation brought by Mediterranean cyclones mainly falls in the form of rain in winter. Summer is hot and dry, but the heat is not sweltering: sea breezes refresh.
Inland waters All rivers flowing on the Crimean Peninsula originate in the Crimean Mountains. Most of them are short and flow into the Black Sea (Alma, Kacha, Chernaya). The longest river, the Salgir, carries water to the Sea of Azov. In summer, it dries out in the lower reaches. In the mountains, rivers often have narrow canyon-like valleys. They feed mainly on rainwater, and those that begin on the northern slopes of the Main Ridge also feed on melted snow. Reservoirs have been built in the upper reaches of some rivers, the water from which is used for the needs of the population. There are many springs in the mountains.
The deepest canyon in Ukraine is the Grand Canyon in Crimea. This is a giant crack on the northern slopes of the Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla, into the limestone strata of which the Auzun-Uzen River has been biting into the limestone strata for thousands of years. With a length of more than 3 km and a width in some places not exceeding 3 m, the depth of the canyon reaches 320 m.
Altitudinal zonation In the Crimean Mountains there is an altitudinal zonality of the soil and vegetation cover. In the foothills there is steppe vegetation with fescue and feather grass, and a little higher (from 500 m) there is forest-steppe vegetation. There, on soddy-carbonate soils, oak groves grow of sessile, downy and common oak with an admixture of maple, beech and hornbeam. Bush thickets are widespread. On the mountain slopes at an altitude of m lies a mountain-forest belt, where broad-leaved forests of beech, hornbeam, maple, ash, linden, and pine grow on brown forest soils. Mountain meadow soils are common on the yayla peaks. There are mountain meadows where alpine violet, St. John's wort, and fescue grow. On the southern slope of the Main Ridge, the altitudinal zonation of vegetation is also quite pronounced, although it does not have a continuous soil cover, as it is interrupted by rocks and hoars. Brown soils have formed on the southern coast of Crimea. They are inhabited by bushy thickets of downy oak, eastern hornbeam and juniper, subtropical evergreen garden vegetation (cypress, laurel, myrtle, magnolia) and fruit trees (apricots, peaches, almonds, persimmons, figs). Dry trees, oak-juniper forests and shiblyak grow up to a height of 500 m - Dense thorny thickets of heat-loving Mediterranean species (downy oak and sessile oak, strawberry tree, pistachio, hornbeam). Above the height of 900 m lies the belt of Crimean pine and oak, and even higher (up to m) the forests are dominated by Crimean beech. The fauna is diverse. Roe deer, deer, mouflon, fox, badger, hare, marten, and squirrel live in the forests. Many birds nest - jay, gull, black vulture, short-tailed snake eagle, peregrine falcon.
A number of environmental protection facilities have been created to protect the environment. The Crimean Nature Reserve protects the most valuable forests in Crimea - oak, beech, Crimean pine, as well as relict groups of yew and high juniper. The unique natural complexes of the Jurassic volcanic massif and the sea coast are protected in the Karadag Nature Reserve. It is considered one of the most exotic corners of Crimea, whose original relief forms and landscapes can compete with the world's most famous Yellowstone Park in the USA. The scientists of the reserve conduct constant observations of marine, steppe and forest ecosystems. Many environmental protection areas have been created near the city of Yalta. Yalta Mountain Forest Reserve - The richest in plant species (1367 species, of which 138 are rare and endangered. The Cape Martyan Nature Reserve protects a relict Mediterranean forest of juniper, downy oak, Crimean pine, pistachio. Nikitsky Botanical Garden - The oldest in the world (founded in 1811). There is a unique collection of subtropical plants from all over the planet (palm trees, metasequoia, thuja, cedar, bamboo, etc.). They are planted in a landscape style, which makes the garden picturesque. Unfortunately, In recent years, during the hot summer seasons, long fires have occurred more than once on the southern slope of the Main Ridge, as a result of which many relict forests and shrubs burned, including in protected areas. The picturesque landscapes of the Crimean Mountains, dry warm climate and sea water make this region one of the best resort areas in Ukraine.

The Crimean Peninsula occupies a relatively small territory - its area is 20 times smaller than the Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas, and 15 times smaller than Kamchatka and Asia Minor. But Crimea became famous, significant and attractive largely due to the peculiarities of its nature, and above all its unique geographical location. The southernmost point of Crimea (44° 23") is Cape Sarych, near the village of Foros, located between Sevastopol and Alupka. The northernmost (46° 15") is located on the Perekop Isthmus, near the village of Perekop. The westernmost point of Crimea (32°29") is Cape Priboyny (Kapa-Mryn) on the Tarkhankut Peninsula. The easternmost (36°39") is Cape Fonar on the Kerch Peninsula. The area of the Crimean Peninsula exceeds 26 thousand km2, the maximum distance from north to south is 205 km, from west to east - 325 km.
Slide 7
Crimea is rightly called a natural pearl. Here, at the junction of temperate and subtropical latitudes, a variety of landscapes have formed, including mountains and plains, ancient volcanoes and modern mud hills, seas and lakes, forests and steppes, stretching from the South Coast sub-Mediterranean to the semi-desert Sivash region...
Slide 8
Crimea is located in the latitudinal zone of the globe, located at equal distances from the equator and the North Pole (approximately 5 thousand kilometers each). In the north, the peninsula is attached to the mainland by the narrow (7-23 km) Perekop Isthmus. From the west and south, the peninsula is washed by the Black Sea, from the east by the Kerch Strait (the border with Asia!) and in the northeast by the Sea of Azov and its Sivash Bay.

The CLIMATE of most of Crimea is a temperate climate: mild steppe - in the flat part; more humid, characteristic of deciduous forests - in the mountains. The southern coast of Crimea is characterized by a sub-Mediterranean climate of dry forests and bushes.
Crimea, especially its mountainous part, thanks to its comfortable climate, rich clean air, toned with phytoncides, sea salts, and the pleasant aroma of plants, also has great healing powers. The depths of the earth also contain healing mud and mineral waters.
Slide 11
Reservoirs of Crimea
In Crimea there are 1657 rivers and temporary watercourses with a total length of 5996 km. Of these, about 150 rivers are dwarf rivers up to 10 km in length. The Salgir River alone is more than 200 km long. The river network is developed extremely unevenly on the peninsula. There are also more than 300 lakes and estuaries. Almost all the lakes are saline and are located along the coast, in the low-lying steppe part and several desalinated lakes. Koyashskoye Lake Churbashskoye Chokrakskoye Terekly (Salty) Ak-Mechetskoye Liman and others.

MOUNTAINS OF CRIMEA Mount Demerdzhi
The mountain system is formed by three mountain ranges stretching from Cape Aya in the vicinity of Balaklava in the west to Cape St. Ilya near Feodosia in the east. The length of the Crimean Mountains is about 160 km, the width is about 50 km. The outer ridge is a series of cuestas, gradually rising to heights of about 350 m. The inner ridge reaches a height of 750 m. The highest point of the Main Ridge stretching along the Southern Coast of the Black Sea is Mount Roman-Kosh, 1545 m high, located on Babugan-yayla.

The flora of the Crimean peninsula is extremely diverse: according to some sources, it has 2,400 wild species of higher plants, according to others - 2,775. You can find such plants as: walnut, hawthorn, beech and others.
Slide 15
The connection between the unique geographical location of Crimea and the uniqueness of the peninsula’s fauna is no less obvious than for the flora, although the animals are more dynamic. In addition to the species characteristic of the nearby southern regions, we find animals of the Mediterranean range everywhere on the peninsula. You can meet such animals as: stingray, owl, dolphin, red deer and others.

According to the 2001 census, the population of Crimea is 2.031 million people, of which in the four largest cities of the autonomy - Sevastopol (365.8 thousand people), Simferopol (364 thousand people), Kerch (157.2 thousand people .) and Evpatoria (122 thousand people) – 41% live. The share of the urban population of Crimea is 63%, living in rural areas is 37% (according to the previous census of 1989, this ratio was 70% to 30%).
Slide 21
Over 80 nationalities live in Crimea, the most numerous of them are Russians (65-70%), Crimean Tatars (18%), Ukrainians (10-15%). According to official data compiled as a result of the census at the beginning of 2014. The population of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol is 2 million 734 thousand people.

1. The length of the longest trolleybus route in the world is 86 kilometers, and it runs in Crimea between Simferopol and Yalta. 2. Another interesting animal of Crimea can be considered the South Russian tarantula. Its bite can cause anaphylactic shock, and besides, the bite itself is very painful, despite the fact that the size of the spider is only 3.5 cm. 3. The shallowest sea in the world is the Sea of Azov. It washes the shores of Crimea. The maximum depth of the Azov Sea is 15 meters.

3 Kryoom Federal District Federal District of the Russian Federation, formed by decree of Russian President V.V. Putin dated March 21, 2014. The district includes two federal subjects, the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol. Located on the Crimean Peninsula. In terms of the number of subjects, population, size of territory, the district is the smallest among federal districts, inferior to all others by several times. It is the only semi-exclave district that does not have a land border with other districts and the main territory of Russia (although it does have one with another state, Ukraine). The administrative center of the district is the capital of the Republic of Crimea, the city of Simferopol, although the largest city of Crimea and the Crimean Federal District is the city of Sevastopol, which among federal districts is also typical only for the North Caucasus Federal District. 3
4 History of creation In February-March 2014, large-scale socio-political changes began in Crimea, known as the Kryoom crisis. These changes began with the protests of the local (mostly Russian-speaking) population against the actions of the former opposition that came to power in Ukraine as a result of the events of February 2014. In February 2014, a change was made in the executive authorities of Sevastopol and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, and those, in their own in turn, they did not recognize the legitimacy of the new Ukrainian government and turned to the leadership of the Russian Federation for assistance and assistance. Local authorities, thanks to the support of Russia and despite attempts at opposition from the Ukrainian authorities and pressure from Western countries, quickly organized and held a referendum on March 16, 2014 on the status of Crimea on its possible secession from Ukraine and entry into the Russian Federation. As a result of the referendum on March 17, 2014, on the basis of the Declaration of Independence, the sovereign Republic of Crimea was unilaterally proclaimed, which included Sevastopol as a city with a special status. March 18 - an international agreement was signed on the admission of Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia, according to which new subjects of the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol are formed within the Russian Federation. At the same time, due to the stated specifics, these two subjects were not included in the close Southern Federal District, but formed a separate Kryoom Federal District. 4

8 Military-strategic significance of Crimea Crimea is the place where the geopolitical interests of Russia, Turkey, the United States and the European Union are concentrated. Beyond the problem of owning Crimea, Ukraine’s interest on the peninsula concerns the Kerch Strait (as a sea route to the Azov Sea ports of Mariupol, Berdyansk and Genichesk), the northwestern shelf of the Black Sea between the Crimean Tarkhankut and Odessa and the general problem of Black Sea security. 8

12 Kryoom Peninsula Occupies a relatively small territory - in area it is 20 times smaller than the Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas, 15 times smaller than Kamchatka and Asia Minor. But Crimea became famous, significant and attractive largely due to the peculiarities of its nature, and above all its unique geographical location. In Russian sources, the Kryoom Peninsula was called Taurida until the 1920s. The modern name of the peninsula probably comes from the Turkic word “Crimea”: rampart, wall, ditch.
13 The Kryoom Peninsula is located in southern Russia at the latitude of southern France and northern Italy. Its outlines are peculiar; some see it as a flying bird, others as a bunch of grapes, and still others as a heart. But each of us, looking at the map, immediately finds in the middle of the blue oval of the sea an irregular quadrangle of a peninsula with a wide protrusion of the Tarkhankut Peninsula in the west and a long, narrower protrusion of the Kerch Peninsula in the east. The Kerch Strait separates the Kryoom Peninsula from the Taman Peninsula, the western tip of the Krasnodar Territory. In the north it is connected to the continent by the narrow (up to 8 km) Perekop Isthmus. Area of about 27 thousand sq. km, of which 72% is plain, 20% mountains, 8% lakes and others
15 Ibn Battuta According to some sources, at the beginning of 1332, a traveler on a ship on the Black Sea sailed to Kerch. Description of Ibn Battuta’s travels is a valuable historical source. Interesting are Ibn Battuta’s notes about his stay in Crimea and at the court of Khan Uzbek, replete with information of an economic, ethnographic and cultural-everyday nature. Crimea
16 Karl Ivanovich Gablitz () In 1783, Crimea was included in Russia and Karl Ivanovich Gablitz was appointed vice-governor of the new Tauride province. For two years he explored the peninsula in detail and compiled its first scientific description. Gablitz correctly distinguished three orographic regions there: “flat”, mountainous and flat-hilly Kerch Peninsula with steep and high banks. He was the first to propose a three-part division of the Crimean Mountains, now generally accepted: the Northern, or External (according to Gablitz, “advanced”) ridges, the Middle, or Internal, and Southern, or Main. The southern slopes are steeper than the northern ones, and there are open valleys between the mountains. The southern ridge in the Chatyrdag region is divided into two parts by a transverse valley; in the ridge he discovered traces of volcanic activity. K. Gablitz explored the Crimean rivers, noting their large slopes and the presence of waterfalls. He also described minerals, including Kerch iron ores. The name of the scientist was given to a cave in the Crimea, and the plant genus Hablitzia (Hablitzia M.Bieb.) (or Hablitzia thamus-like of the Chenopodiaceae family) was named in his honor.
17 P. S. Pallas () visited Crimea in the years. He described the Southern Ridge in much more detail than K. Gablitz and identified the highest part of it - from Balaklava to Alushta. He considered the highest point of the ridge to be Chatyrdag (1527 m; now Roman-Kosh, 1545 m).
18 Dokuchaev in Crimea In Crimea V.V. Dokuchaev arrived in the summer of 1878. It was during this period that he accumulated scientific material for his now world-famous work “Russian Chernozem”. Work that laid the foundation not just for “chernozem science”, but for a completely new science of soil science. Observations and scientific materials collected by V.V. Dokuchaev during a trip to Crimea, became a significant contribution to the emerging science of the “fourth kingdom of nature,” which, according to the scientist, is soil. Crimea Having explored the “marly lands” of the southern coast of Crimea and humus-rich soils “on pink high plateaus” ), having visited the outskirts of Sevastopol and the foothills on the way to Simferopol, the scientist did not find the real “king of soils” chernozem anywhere. And only in the vicinity of Simferopol did he manage to see “vegetable soil, up to 111/2 feet thick, dark gray with a chestnut tint.” This was the same “king of soils” for whom he came to Crimea. North of Simferopol V.V. Dokuchaev took samples of it and later, in the laboratory, very accurately determined that the amount of organic matter contained in this soil, humus (humus), reaches 4.5%. Southern coast of Crimea Sevastopol Simferopol V.V. Dokuchaev was the first to prove the widespread distribution of chernozems in the central plain part of Crimea. In his diaries and then in his writings, the scientist wrote that here “there are chocolate-gray chernozems thirty to forty centimeters thick, containing about 3% humus.” He also found that the thickness of chernozem soils in Crimea decreases from south to north. V.V. Dokuchaev linked the change in humus content in soils to the characteristics of the relief, climate and vegetation cover. In 1895 V.V. Dokuchaev visited Crimea for the second time, again crossing all its soil zones. The Crimean expedition and, in particular, the study of “Simferopol type” chernozems helped V.V. Dokuchaev to substantiate his view on the origin of chernozems and other soils. It is important to note that in Crimea V.V. Dokuchaev studied not only soils, but also other components of the geographical environment. He divided the entire peninsula into three stripes and gave them a brief natural and geographical description. One of the villages of the Crimean plain, where the great soil scientist conducted research, is now called Dokuchaevo. Dokuchaevo Geological and soil research in Crimea, carried out by V.V. Dokuchaev, laid the foundation for extensive research by many geologists and geographers.
19 N.A. Golovkinsky () It is difficult today to appreciate the scientific feat of Nikolai Golovkinsky, who managed to examine every mountain river, rivulet and more or less noticeable watercourse to compile a map of the natural water supply of Crimea. The scientist also paid a lot of attention to the exploration of artesian, deep water reserves. He proposed creating the first artesian station in Russia, which was founded in Saki. ON THE. Golovkinsky was the first to come to the conclusion that the ridge of the Main Range of the Crimean Mountains in the geological past was a coral reef of an ancient ocean (“warm water sea”) that existed on the site of our peninsula.

21 Alexander Alexandrovich Kruber () an outstanding Soviet physical geographer, the founder of Russian and Soviet karst studies - Kruber’s main works are devoted to the study of karst. He was the first to apply the principle of a comprehensive geographical approach to the study of karst phenomena. His works “Hydrography of Karst” (1913) and “Karst Region of the Mountain Crimea” (1915) were of great importance for the development of karst science in Russia.
22 Alexander Evgenievich Fersman () In 1939, geochemical studies of Crimean mineral deposits were carried out in 1939
23 Viktor Nikolaevich Dublyansky - geologist The formation of modern domestic sports and then scientific speleology is associated with his name. Discoverer and researcher of about 1000 karst cavities, including the famous Red one in Crimea; leader of 46 scientific expeditions, dozens of sporting events; author of more than 520 scientific works, Peru V. N. Dublyansky owns the first textbooks on sports speleology “Journeys Underground” (1968, 1981), a fascinating popular science book “Following a Drop of Water” (1971), several dozen monographs about the caves of the Crimea, Ukraine, Western Caucasus. In 1975, the VI International Speleological Congress awarded him a gold medal "For the development of world speleological science", in 1981 his scientific successes were awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor, and in 1994 he became a State Prize laureate for his work on the engineering geology of karst Republic of Crimea...

24 Al.V. Ena In 1971, carried out a study of the natural-territorial complexes of the Crimean sub-Mediterranean, considered applied problems of protection and directions of rational environmental management of this unique landscape region of Crimea and all of Eastern Europe, on the basis of genetic analysis, the scientist first substantiated and introduced into scientific circulation the concept of the Crimean sub-Mediterranean, which was logically extended to the landscapes of the southern macroslope of the Main Crimean ridges from Cape Fiolent in the west to Cape Ilya in the east, mapped the local landscapes and showed their morphological structure in rare cases. (
26 Relief The relief of the Crimean peninsula consists of three unequal parts: the North Crimean Plain with the Tarkhankut Upland (about 70% of the territory), the Kerch Peninsula and the mountainous Crimea, stretching in three ridges in the south. The main ridge of the Crimean Mountains (1545 m, Mount Roman-Kosh) consists of separate limestone massifs (yayl) with plateau-like peaks and deep canyons. The southern slope of the Main Ridge stands out as the Crimean sub-Mediterranean. The Inner and Outer ridges form the Crimean foothills. The mountainous Crimea, within the alpine geosynclinal folded region, stretches in a strip of about 180 km from Sevastopol to Feodosia and up to 50 km wide. A unique calling card of Crimea is the Karadag volcanic massif (577 m), formed in the Middle Jurassic period as a result of underwater volcanic eruptions.

29 The highest mountain peaks: Roman-Kosh 1545 m; Demir-Kapu 1540 m; Zeytin-Kosh 1534 m; Kemal-Egerek 1529 m; Eklizi-Burun 1527 m; Angara-Burun 1453 m The relief of Crimea is influenced by both internal and external processes (earthquakes, landslides, landslides, screes, coastal abrasion, mudflows, karst, water and wind erosion, soil subsidence, etc.). Crimea is subject to seismic hazard in the foothills and plains up to 6-7 points, in the mountains
32 “Records” of climate for the Crimean peninsula in recent years: The highest temperature in summer - the absolute maximum (+40.7 C) - was recorded in August 1930 in the village of Klepinino. The lowest temperature in winter - the absolute minimum (-36.8 C) - registered in the village of Nizhnegorsky in January 1940. The coldest and snowiest winter was when the temperature remained below - 10 C for almost 50 days. In Simferopol, the thaw lasted for almost three months. The maximum amount of precipitation, mm, was recorded in 1981 on Ai-Petri. The longest drought was in 1947, when even in the mountains there was no rain for almost 100 days. The maximum number of foggy days (in Crimea) is observed on Ai-Petri (days in 1970).The windiest point not only in Crimea, but also in Ukraine is Ai-Petri (in 1949, the wind blew here at a speed of over 15 m/s for 125 days).On Ai-Petri The highest wind speed was also recorded - 50 m/s. 32
33 Soils The soils of Crimea are diverse.

53 Natural resources The natural reserve fund includes 158 objects and territories (including 46 of national importance). The basis of the reserve fund is made up of 6 nature reserves with a total area of 63.9 thousand hectares: Kryoomsky with the branch “Swan Islands”, Yalta Mountain Forest, Cape Martyan, Karadagsky, Kazantipsky, Opuksky. Minerals The most important type of minerals of the Crimean Peninsula are iron ores, deposits of which are concentrated on the Kerch Peninsula. Sodium, magnesium, bromine, and calcium salts are extracted from the salt lakes of Crimea; there are also springs with mineral water of chloride-sulfate composition. Among non-metallic minerals, deposits of limestone, quartz sand, gypsum and clay are of great importance. In the Kara-Dag region there are ornamental stones: rock crystal, amethyst, citrine and others. Oil reserves in the Crimea are only 47 million tons, gas reserves are 165.3 billion cubic meters. m, which is a fairly significant indicator, and in addition there is 18.2 million tons of gas condensate. In total, there are 44 hydrocarbon deposits on the peninsula, including 10 oil, 27 gas and 7 gas condensate. In addition, there are 5 gas fields and 3 gas condensate fields on the Black Sea shelf, and 6 gas fields on the Azov shelf. The main areas of the IP: Indolo-Kuban oil and gas region, Black Sea-Crimean oil and gas region, Kerch iron ore basin. Natural recreational resources are of greatest importance: mild climate, warm sea, healing mud, mineral waters, picturesque landscapes. 53
54 Healthcare The history of Crimean healthcare goes back to antiquity. After a long break associated with barbarian invasions, Crimean medicine was revived at the end of the 13th century in the form of the hospital of St. John in Feodosia. The true heyday of Crimean medicine came in the second half of the 19th century, when the medicinal properties of the mud of Lake Saki, the climate of the foothill forests and the southern coast, curing tuberculosis, were discovered. With the rise in living standards, the frequency of epidemics decreased, and the plague left the Crimean shores. In recent times, it has been possible to sharply limit the spread of malaria; Crimea has become a comfortable and safe place to live, well provided with medical, preventive and sanatorium institutions. The beginning of the development of Crimea as a resort dates back to the second half of the 19th century. With the improvement of transport links, it has become easier for residents of the Central provinces of the Russian Empire to get to seaside resorts. At the turn of the century there was a boom in the construction of summer residences: dachas, villas and palaces. Preserved to this day, they are one of the characteristic features of Crimean cities. A new, massive stage in the history of Crimean tourism is associated with Lenin’s decrees; Crimea is becoming an “All-Union health resort”, receiving hundreds of thousands of tourists. After 1991, resort specialization changed dramatically; now beach and active recreation are preferred to sanatorium treatment. Unorganized tourists significantly outnumber vacationers in sanatoriums. 54

62 Swallow's Nest Castle Near the resort capital of Crimea, the famous Yalta, is located one of the most beautiful creations of architecture - the Swallow's Nest Castle. Back in the 19th century, after the end of the Russian-Turkish war, the lands of Cape Ai-Todor were donated to an unknown general, who took a fancy to the Aurora rock and decided to build the “Castle of Love” here. To whom such a romantic impulse was dedicated remains unknown, perhaps to the goddess of the “morning dawn” herself, because the dawn on the Aurora rock is the most delightful, unforgettable sight. Here, among the panorama of Yalta Bay, the amphitheater of mountains around it, Ayu-Dag is visible in the distance, the first glimpses of light color the horizon and the sea, first lilac, then pink, then fiery orange, then the sky turns blue and the sea surface is covered with golden reflections. The “Castle of Love” was depicted on the canvases of many artists of that time, including Aivazovsky, Lagorio, Bogolyubov. Then it was a small wooden building, but in 1912, according to the design of the architect Sherwood under the leadership of the German oil industrialist Baron von Stengel, the building appeared as we know it now - a Gothic castle in the style of the knightly era - Swallow's Nest. Now it is a kind of symbol of the South Coast, a symbol of Crimea, Source: 62 67 Artek “Artek” is an international children's center in Crimea.

68 Industry of Crimea The oldest industry in Crimea is metallurgical, but currently there is only one metalworking enterprise left in the republic in the Kerch region and is engaged in the production of cast iron utensils and railway switches. Mechanical engineering in Crimea is one of the most developed industries. This primarily concerns shipbuilding; enterprises located in Kerch, Sevastopol and Feodosia produce tankers of various capacities and passenger hydrofoils. Together with metallurgy, mechanical engineering accounts for about 1/3 of the total industry of the republic. One of the main industries in Crimea is food, in which fruits and vegetables and canning are of greatest importance. There are fish processing factories in Kerch and Yalta, factories for the production of sunflower oil and processing of vegetables and seafood in Simferopol, and wineries in Yalta. Also in Crimea there are chemical industry enterprises, the Iodobrom plant, located in the city of Saki, as well as bromine and soda plants located in the city of Krasnoperekopsk. In the area of the specialized port of Chernomorsk, natural gas and oil are produced, the annual volume of which (2011 data) is about 1.1 million cubic meters. m and 9 thousand tons, respectively. Electricity in the republic is mostly supplied from Ukraine, since its own power plants provide a little more than 10% of the required volume 68
69 Industry structure In the structure of industrial production, the leading place belongs to: the food industry (38.9%). This is followed by mechanical engineering and metalworking (33.5%), chemical industry (9.1%), building materials industry (4.4%) and other industries - 15.1%. 69
70 Crimean agriculture is based on grain production and livestock farming, horticulture, vegetable growing, viticulture, as well as the cultivation of essential and oilseed crops (rose, lavender, sage). Agricultural lands occupy about 65% of the territory of Crimea. They are dominated by arable land (more than 63%) and pastures (22.9%). In recent years, the area of farmland has decreased due to extensive construction, erosion and soil salinization. The leading industry is crop production. The lion's share is occupied by the cultivation of grains (more than 45% of the sown area). However, this was not always the case: grain became the main crop for Crimea only from the middle of the 19th century. Until this moment, sheep farming was in the lead. But in the 19th century, railways were built, and grain became one of Russia's main export goods. In addition to grain, corn is grown in Crimea as a fodder crop, millet and rice, as well as industrial crops, mainly oilseeds (sunflower, soybeans and rapeseed). The production of essential oil crops – roses, lavender and sage – is of great value in Crimea. The total production of lavender and rose oils in Crimea exceeds half of the total production of these products in the CIS. Silk production is also a profitable industry. Horticulture is also developed in Crimea (apples, pears, plums, cherries, cherries and peaches). Strawberries are grown everywhere. The annual volume of fruit and berries harvested exceeds 300 thousand tons. In 2014, Crimea harvested 417 thousand tons of vegetables and almost 392 thousand tons of potatoes. The oldest industry in Crimea is viticulture. Crimea is famous for its technical grape varieties, which are used to produce high-quality wines, cognacs and juices. Crimea was the main region of Ukraine for grape production. Production volumes reach 300 thousand tons of grapes per year. There are 25.2 thousand hectares of vineyards growing on the peninsula

73 Problems of regional development: Insufficient rational use of natural conditions and resources; Poor water supply to the Crimean peninsula; Contradictions in the location and development of heavy industry enterprises, in the formation of a large port economy, on the one hand, and the use of recreational resources, on the other; Pollution of the western Crimea leads to a weakening of the healing properties of Saki mud; Threatening ecological state of the Black and Azov seas and lake-Sivash Bay; The extraction of pebbles and limestone on the beaches negatively affects the natural features of the resorts of Crimea; Naval bases and air forces create a lot of noise pollution; Implementation of the program for the protection of cultural monuments of the Crimean Peninsula. 73
74 The Ministry for Crimean Affairs submitted to the government a package of five bills regulating the development of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, as well as the creation of a free economic zone (FEZ) on their territory. Tax reductions are proposed for existing enterprises for all categories of taxpayers and for a permanent period. Primarily, benefits are offered to individual entrepreneurs, including those employed in the tourism sector. “For them, either tax holidays or reductions in patent rates are provided. The issue of the self-employed is being discussed separately with the Ministry of Finance.” All legal entities operating in Crimea will receive an income tax benefit due to increased transportation costs and loss of counterparties. Another benefit is intended for businesses in the agricultural sector: a reduction in the agricultural tax rate for five years. In general, for all enterprises operating in Crimea, the bill also provides for specific land use: land plots will be provided for investment projects with a special methodology for calculating rent. It will include indicators of the efficiency of use of the land plot, which will be monitored by the authorities of the republic. For foreign tourists, the bill provides for a simplified procedure for issuing visas: they will be issued directly upon entry into Crimea and Sevastopol for a period of up to 30 days. Local Crimean and Sevastopol banks that do not have branches outside their borders can receive another benefit. According to the bill, Crimea will have the status of a special economic zone until April 1, 2064. 74
