About
Yedy-Kuiu is a settlement on the Kerch Peninsula in eastern Crimea. It is an inland railway settlement formerly known in Ukrainian as Lenine and in Russian as Lenino.
Notes
Country UA follows internationally recognized sovereignty over Crimea. Ukrainian parliament voted in 2016 to restore Yedy-Kuiu; the deferred Crimea renaming took effect in 2023. Russian administration continues Lenino; French reference heading Lénine is outdated. The railway station can retain Sem Kolodezey independently of the settlement name. https://ppu.gov.ua/press-center/istoriia-na-karti-krymu-dekomunizatsiia-iak-shliakh-do-vidnovlennia-pam-iati-ta-istorychnoi-spravedlyvosti/ Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of prose frequency.
