About
Kurman is a settlement in the central steppe of Crimea, Ukraine. It developed beside a railway station and serves the surrounding agricultural area.
Notes
Resolution 1352-VIII adopted Kurman in 2016 with delayed effect. Law 3334-IX of 2023 removed the delay, so the old claim that the name will apply only after de-occupation is obsolete. Russian occupation usage retains Krasnogvardeyskoye. UA is the sovereignty code. Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
