history

The place was only created in 1978 and was planned as a residential area for the employees of the south-west Crimean power plant . After the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the plans for the construction were revised again and the power plant construction was shut down in 1989. In 1992 the place was finally granted city rights and is now a health resort. He is best known for the KaZantip festival, which took place here until 1999 .

The name of the place was chosen in honor of the Soviet nuclear researcher Kirill Shchjolkin and awarded in 1982. To this day there are no street names in the city.

Since the internationally unrecognized annexation of the Crimean peninsula to Russia in March 2014, Shcholkine 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, Shcholkine is part of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea , which is one of the territories occupied by Russia.
