The Crimean Peninsula is located in the south of Eastern Europe.

In the north, the peninsula is connected to the mainland by the narrow Perekop Isthmus, and in the east by the Kerch Strait.

From the west and south, the peninsula is washed by the Black Sea, from the northeast - by the waters of the Azov Sea.

Slide 10

The name "Crimea" comes from the Turkic - rampart, wall, ditch.

The Perekop shaft was built 2 thousand years ago.

Until the 13th century. The peninsula was called Tavrika, named after the ancient Taurian tribes who lived here.

Since the 15th century, the peninsula began to be called Tavria, and after it became part of Russia in 1783 - Tavrida.

Slide 14

A little history.

From the Manifesto of Catherine II on the annexation of Crimea.

“...the eternal peace between the All-Russian and Ottoman Empires is concluded, which We sincerely wish to preserve forever, and no less, in replacement and satisfaction of Our losses, We decided to take under Our power the Crimean peninsula, the island of Taman and the entire Kuban side...[...]

... Proclaiming to the inhabitants of those places ... we promise sacredly and unshakably for ourselves and the Successors of Our Throne to support them on an equal basis with our natural subjects, to protect and defend their persons, property, temples and natural faith ...

Given in Our capital city of St. Peter, on April 8 DAYS from the Nativity of Christ, 1783, and in the twenty-first summer of Our reign. Catherine II"

Catherine the Great called Crimea “the best pearl” of her crown.

Slide 15

A little history.

Potemkin Grigory Alexandrovich, Prince Tauride favorite and closest assistant to Empress Catherine II. He supervised the development of the Northern Black Sea region and the construction of the Black Sea Fleet. Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army in the Russian-Turkish war of 1787-1791.

In 1776 he became governor-general of the Novorossiysk, Azov and Astrakhan provinces.

At the mouth of the Dnieper, Potemkin founded Kherson with a shipyard, supervised the construction of Yekaterinoslav (now Dnepropetrovsk) and the construction of Sevastopol as a military and sea port of Russia, and the creation of the Black Sea Fleet, both military and commercial.

Inviting colonists, founding cities, planting forests and vineyards, encouraging sericulture, establishing schools, factories, printing houses, shipyards - all this was undertaken on an extremely large scale, on a large scale, sparing neither money, nor labor, nor people.

Slide 16

A little history.

Fireworks in honor of Catherine II during her trip to Crimea.

In 1787, the famous journey of Catherine II to Crimea was undertaken, which turned into a triumph for Potemkin.

The Amazon company, created by order of the prince, brought considerable pleasure to the empress; Kherson, with its fortress, surprised even foreigners, and the sight of the Sevastopol raid with a squadron of 15 large and 20 small ships was the most spectacular sight of the entire journey. When bidding farewell to the Empress in Kharkov, Potemkin received the honorary title of Tauride.

"POTEMKIN VILLAGES"

The luxurious appearance of the settlements and the well-groomed manner of their inhabitants were so amazing that they raised doubts about the authenticity of the picture presented. Therefore, envious people began to claim that these were dummies, models of houses installed on Potemkin’s orders, and that in reality there were no villages.

However, the fact remains that cities and towns were built, the population settled, and Russia’s borders were strengthened. In addition, it was a serious diplomatic step. It was necessary to show foreign guests (including the Austrian Emperor Joseph II) that Russia had a firm foot on the newly acquired lands and intended to maintain them in the best possible way.

Slide 17

SEVASTOPOL is a city of Russian glory.

In the 5th century BC. e. Greek colonists built their fortress-colony Chersonesus (part of the territory of modern Sevastopol)

Immediately after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, Catherine II gave instructions to find a place to build a military port. The founder of the city was Rear Admiral Foma Fomich Mekenzi, who laid the first four stone buildings of Sevastopol on June 14, 1783.

Business card. Features of nature

• A subject of the Russian Federation, part of the Crimean Federal District. It was formed on March 18, 2014 on the basis of an agreement on the admission of the independent sovereign Republic of Crimea to Russia. The capital of the Republic of Crimea is the city of Simferopol.

• Area: 27,000 km² Population: 2,284,400 people

• It juts out deeply into the Black Sea, which it is washed from the south and west, and from the east it is washed by the Sea of ​​Azov. The coastline of the Crimean Peninsula exceeds 2,500 km. Of these, almost 50% are in the Sivash region, 750 km in the Black Sea and about 500 km in the Azov Sea.
• In the north it is connected to the continent by the narrow (up to 8 km) Perekop Isthmus. The area is about 26,860 km², of which 72% is plain, 20% is mountains and 8% is lakes and other water bodies.

The largest bays on the Black Sea coast: Karkinitsky, Kalamitsky, Feodosiya.

On the coast of Azov: Sivash, Kazantip and Arabat.

In the east of Crimea there is the Kerch Peninsula, in the west - the Tarkhankutsky, Heraclean Peninsula, in the north - Tyup-Tarkhan.

Geological structure

• From a geological point of view, the Crimean Peninsula is the southern part of the Ukrainian crystalline shield of the East European Platform, within which the Scythian plate and the Crimean folded region are distinguished.

• According to the nature of the relief, the peninsula is divided into three unequal parts:
• 1) North Crimean Plain with the Tarkhankut Upland (about 70% of the territory),
• 2) ridge-hilly plains of the Kerch Peninsula with the manifestation of mud volcanism
• 3) mountainous Crimea, stretching in three ridges - Main (southern), Internal and External (northern), separated by longitudinal plains.

• High 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 mountain structures of Crimea are part of the Alpine folded geosynclinal region. The folded region of the Crimean Mountains is a large blocky uplift, the southern part of which is lowered below the level of the Black Sea. The shores are accumulatively leveled. The length of the coastline is 980 km, of which 76% are abrasive shores (that is, where rocks were destroyed under the influence of waves).

• Mineral deposits: mineral salts, construction raw materials, combustible gas, thermal waters, iron ore. Natural recreational resources are of greatest importance: mild climate, warm sea, healing mud, mineral waters, picturesque landscapes.

• Crimea, despite its relatively small territory, has a varied climate. The climate of Crimea is divided into three subzones:
• 1) Steppe Crimea (most of Crimea, north, west and center of Crimea).
• 2) Crimean mountains
• 3) Southern coast of Crimea
• The climate of the northern part is temperate continental, on the southern coast - with features similar to subtropical. The average January temperature is from −1… −3 °C in the north of the steppe zone to +1… −1 °C in the south of the steppe zone, on the southern coast of Crimea from +2… +4 °C. The average July temperature of the South Coast and the eastern part of Crimea: Kerch and Feodosia is +23…+25 °C. Precipitation ranges from 300-400 mm per year in the north to 1000-2000 mm in the mountains.

• In summer (in the second half of July) in the steppe part of Crimea, daytime air temperatures reach +35...+37 °C in the shade, at night up to +23...+25 °C. The climate is predominantly dry, with seasonal dry winds prevailing. The Black Sea warms up to +25 °C in summer. The Sea of ​​Azov warms up to +27…+28 °C.

The climate of most of Crimea can be characterized as a temperate climate - soft steppe in the flat part, more humid, characteristic of deciduous forests - in the mountains. The southern coast of Crimea is characterized by a subtropical Mediterranean climate.

Inland waters of Crimea. Rivers

A relatively small amount of precipitation, a long dry summer, and the spread of karst rocks in the mountains have caused the Crimea to be poor in surface water. Due to the unequal conditions for the formation and distribution of surface waters, Crimea is divided into two parts: flat steppe with a very small number of surface watercourses and mountain forest with a relatively dense river network. Almost all the rivers of the peninsula originate here. There are no rivers only on the flat surfaces of the land.

• 257 rivers flow through the territory of Crimea (the largest are Salgir, Kacha, Alma, Belbek), Indol, Biyuk-Karasu, Chernaya, Burulcha. The longest river in Crimea is Salgir (220 km), the deepest is Belbek (water flow - 1500 liters per second).

• There are over 50 salt lakes in Crimea, the largest of them is Lake Sasyk-Sivash - 205 km². The Black Sea artesian basin is located. The steppe part is cut by canals for irrigation; the largest is the North Crimean Canal.

Crimean groundwater

North Sivash, Belogorsky, Alminsky basins

Artesian basin of the Crimean Mountains.

In the mountains there is much more precipitation than in the plain Crimea, and evaporation, on the contrary, is less. Therefore, runoff formation occurs in the mountains, in the foothills (primarily within the Outer Ridge) water penetrates into permeable rock layers, and in the lowland Crimea, groundwater accumulates. Waters trapped in the limestone layer move north and west. There they formed a powerful artesian basin. Thus, the lowland Crimea, poor in surface water, has been steadily receiving good quality water from the mountains for a long geological time.

According to scientists, up to 75% of exploitable fresh water reserves are located in the artesian basins of the Crimean plain. Most extensive here North Sivashsky, Belogorsky and Alminsky artesian pools. They are giant troughs in the earth's crust, in which the number and thickness of rock layers, including aquifers, as a rule, increases.

Slide captions:

Republic of Crimea In a scarlet Varangian shield there is a silver griffin facing to the right, trembling in its right paw an open silver shell with a blue pearl. The shield is topped by a rising sun and surrounded by two white columns connected by a blue, white and red ribbon with the motto: “Prosperity in Unity.” The griffin, as one of the symbols of ancient Chersonesus, on the site of which Sevastopol was built, has been considered a symbol of amulet since ancient times and in this capacity symbolizes the city, one of the main tasks of which is to guard the borders of the country.

The name Simferopol means “city of benefit” (lit. Polzograd) in Greek. The Crimean Tatar name Aqmescit is translated into Russian as “white mosque” (aq - white, mescit - mosque). The coat of arms tells about the strength and fearlessness of the Russian people in Sevastopol, who built a formidable fortress in the Crimea, twice famous for its valiant defense.

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.

There are no wars without losses, and sometimes victory brings so many losses that it looks more like defeat. War is always unpredictable - your enemy can become your ally if the two of you have common interests. The people who suffer the most from war are the innocents who are forced into battle against their will. War is the path of deception. And sometimes you yourself are deceived.

At dawn on June 22, 1941, fascist planes bombed many Soviet cities, including the main base of the Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol. Already on June 22-23, rallies were held in all the cities and villages of Crimea, in factories, factories, construction sites, educational institutions, collective farms and state farms, at which workers angrily denounced the fascist aggressors and unanimously declared their determination to defend the socialist Motherland. After the rallies, hundreds of workers went to recruiting stations with a request to send them to the front. In the first days of the war, over 8.1 thousand Crimean communists, more than 1/3 of the regional party organization joined the Red Army and Navy

Nature will act on us with all its strength only when we bring our human element into the feeling of it, when our state of mind, our love, our joy or sadness comes into full harmony with nature and it will no longer be possible to separate the freshness of the morning from the light of our loved ones eyes and the measured noise of the forest from thinking about the life lived.

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, you can find plants such as: walnut, hawthorn, beech and others.

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 species characteristic of the nearby southern regions of Ukraine, we everywhere encounter animals of the Mediterranean range on the peninsula. You can find such plants as: Stingray, owl, dolphin, red deer and others.

Holidays in Crimea have always been in demand, and recently it has become even more attractive. The cost of housing in the private sector of Crimea is cheaper than in many other resorts, but there are also quite a few more comfortable, expensive hotels. The variety of resorts in Crimea, a huge number of attractions in all corners of the peninsula make holidays in Crimea interesting and varied.

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%).

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.

As a result of the referendum that took place on March 16, 2014. the majority of Crimeans voted to join Russia. Currently, the Republic of Crimea is a subject of the Russian Federation that is part of the Crimean Federal District. March 18, 2014 an agreement was concluded on the admission to the Russian Federation of the independent sovereign Republic of Crimea (entry in notebooks), proclaimed within the administrative borders of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol (received the status of a city of federal significance). March 21, 2014 Putin V.V. signed the federal constitutional law on the entry of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol into the Russian Federation (invite students to evaluate this historical event).
