Ordzhonikidze (Ukrainian Орджонікідзе - Ukrainian officially since May 12, 2016 Kajhador / Кайгадор; Russian Орджоникидзе ; Crimean Tatar Kaygador ) is a small urban-type settlement with about 2700 inhabitants between Feodosiya and Koktebel on the southeast coast of Crimea in Ukraine . It is located at the northern end of the rocky peninsula "Kyik-Atlama" (Киік-Атлама), which protrudes up to 174 m from the sea, between the Dwojakirna Bay (Двоякірна бухта) in the northeast and the Gulf of Koktebel in the southwest. Administratively, the place belongs to the city district Feodosiya. The place has only had its current name since 1937; he was previously called Prowalnoje (Russian: Провальное), Dwujakirnyj (Russian Двуякорный) and from 1914 Bubnowka (Бубновка).

history

The first known settlement of the place was an Armenian monastery built towards the end of the 11th century with a castle called Kaygador. In the Middle Ages, there was a Genoese port called Provato on the site. In 1911 Russia began to build a torpedo factory there. Vice-Admiral Mikhail Vladimirovich Bubnov (Михаил Владимирович Бубнов, 1859 - after 1917), who directed the construction, received the surrounding area as a gift from Tsar Nicholas II in 1914 , built a mansion (on the site of today's diving base ) and named the place Bubnovka . In 1937 the road to Koktebel was built and the place was renamed Ordzhonikidze, after the Soviet politician Grigory Ordzhonikidze, who had died in Moscow under unexplained circumstances .

During the Second World War , the place was occupied by German troops from 1941 to 1944 . The Soviet torpedo factory had previously been evacuated to the Caspian Sea . After the end of the war, the “Hidroprybor” torpedo factory was expanded considerably and a branch of the Sverdlovsk 94th “Hidroaparat” factory was established. New apartment blocks were built for the workers.

present

Until the independence of Ukraine in 1991, the place was a restricted military area and not accessible to visitors because of the weapons factories located there. Today there is no longer any industrial production, and efforts are being made to develop the place for bathing and diving tourism. The water of the Black Sea is very clear here, and in the vicinity of Ordzhonikidze there are a number of small, partly sandy, partly gravel beaches.

Ivan Baba

At the extreme southeast end of the peninsula lies the rocky island of Iwan Baba , only about 100 × 80 m in size , separated from the mainland by a gap about 10 m wide.

800 m to the west, on the north bank of the peninsula, is the small port of Ordzhonikidze, protected by two 200 m long piers . During the Second World War, the port was at times a base, known as Iwan Baba , German express boats and Italian MAS motor torpedo boats.
