About
Ozerne is a village near Lake Yalpuh in Odesa Oblast, southwestern Ukraine. Its Romanian historical name, Babele, reflects the region's multilingual past.
Notes
Ukrainian locality history inconsistently says Babele until 1947 and cites the renaming decree of 14 November 1945. The latter is also given by German/Russian locality references; exact chronology is flagged rather than asserted as 1947. Historical interwar General Al. Averescu does not denote a separate present village. https://archive.od.gov.ua/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/daoo.uar_.903.1.pdf Standard-derived forms support retrieval without implying English or French press adoption.
