Saky

The spa town of Saky (Ukrainian and Russian Саки , Crimean Tatar Saq ) is located around 70 km north of Sevastopol in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea . Around 26,000 people live in Saky. For over 200 years, Saky has been a tourist destination famous for its medicinal mud. Some important mineral water producers are also based here.

In 1915 a station was opened on a branch of the railway line from Dzhankoy to Sevastopol .

history

During the Crimean War, the British-French expeditionary force landed near Saky on the shores of Kalamita Bay on September 14, 1854, before moving towards Sevastopol . The landing operation lasted 5 days, during which the missing equipment (transport cart, food) was acquired from the surrounding homesteads.

Saky belonged to the Taurian Governorate in the Russian Empire , which existed until October 1921. After the October Revolution , it was part of the ASSR of Crimea within the Russian SFSR .

By resolution of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav , Saky and the Crimea Oblast were annexed to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic on April 26, 1954 . From 1991 to 2014 Saky was part of independent Ukraine.

Since the internationally unrecognized annexation of the Crimean peninsula to Russia in March 2014, Saky has de facto belonged to the federal subject of Southern Russia of the Russian Federation. De jure, according to the administrative-territorial division of Ukraine, Saky is part of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea , which is one of the territories occupied by Russia.
