2025: Nationalization of 60 objects of property of Ukrainians
The head of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea, Vladimir Konstantinov, said in May 2025 that the regional authorities had sold 60 objects at the auction during the nationalization of the property of Ukrainian citizens. These sales brought more than ₽4,8 billion to the Crimean budget.
According to Kommersant, the nationalization of the assets of Ukrainian politicians and businessmen, which began in the fall of 2022, is being carried out as part of measures taken in response to the actions of the Ukrainian authorities. The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, said that all funds from sales would be directed to the needs of the participants in the special operation.
The list of nationalized property includes both movable and immovable objects. The head of the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan Vladimir Konstantinov stressed that the new owners intend to develop the acquired assets and are ready to invest in them, unlike the previous owners, who, being outside the Crimea, sought to get the maximum profit without investing in development.
Among the nationalized assets are Bakhchisarai Plant Stroyindustriya JSC, the Zaliv shipyard, the property of Rusline Ko LLC, Megastroya, as well as real estate owned by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, singer Jamala and former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
The property of Yalta Film Studio CJSC, Bristol Hotel LLC in Yalta, Platinum Bank PJSC, Ukrsotsbank PJSC, Chaika International Children's Medical Center JSC, Karakash Agro LLC, Boarding House JSC also became the property of the Republic of Crimea.
In total, as part of the nationalization process in Crimea, more than 4.2 thousand objects of property belonging to 410 individuals and legal entities recognized as unfriendly to Russia were alienated. Tax payments to budgets of all levels from the alienation of the republic's property in 2024 amounted to about ₽2 billion, which is 3.8 times higher than in 2023.

Crimea received ₽4,8 billion from the nationalization of the property of Ukrainian businessmen
On January 29, 2025, the Minister of Property and Land Relations of the Republic of Crimea Larisa Kulinich announced the receipt of ₽4,8 billion to the regional budget from the sale of nationalized property of Ukrainian businessmen, politicians and oligarchs in 2023-2024.
According to TASS, tax payments to budgets of all levels from the alienation of the republic's property in 2024 amounted to about ₽2 billion, which is 3.8 times higher than in 2023.
The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, noted that in 2022-2024, about 3.5 thousand objects were included in the list of nationalized property, of which 1.2 thousand in 2024.
Minister Larisa Kulinich indicated that about 20% of objects have encumbrances in the form of arrests, mortgages and the transfer of rights to other persons after February 24, 2022, which requires settlement through judicial procedures.
 | More than 30% of objects require a detailed inventory, as a result of which their composition significantly changes, which requires additional accounting and registration of rights, - said Larisa Kulinich. |  |
On October 18, 2022, deputies of the State Council of Crimea adopted a law on the possibility of recognizing the property of unfriendly foreign states and their citizens as property of the republic.
As part of the nationalization, the assets of Bakhchisarai Plant Stroyindustriya JSC, the Zaliv shipyard, the property of Rusline Ko LLC, Megastroy and other companies were acquired.
The new list of nationalized property includes objects of 110 oligarchs and politicians, including the property of Yalta Film Studio CJSC, Bristol Hotel LLC in Yalta, Platinum Bank PJSC, Ukrsotsbank PJSC, Chaika International Children's Medical Center JSC and other organizations.
Special attention is paid to the process of inventory and registration of rights to previously not registered and not included in the cadastre real estate objects, which is necessary for their further implementation.[1]
In Crimea, sold the assets of Ukrainian businessmen for more than 2.1 billion rubles
On June 10, 2024, Chairman of the State Council of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov said that since the beginning of 2023, the republic's budget has received more than 2.1 billion rubles from the sale of nationalized assets of Ukrainian businessmen. This amount includes the sale of property for 1.7 billion rubles in 2023 and for more than 416 million rubles in 2024.
According to Konstantinov, the assets sold are highly profitable objects that are of great interest to investors. He noted that the inventory of all nationalized objects and the preparation of investment packages for their further implementation continues. Konstantinov expressed hope for significant revenues for the Crimean budget from the sale of the remaining assets by the end of 2024.
Earlier, the Crimean parliament adopted a law allowing the property of citizens and organizations from unfriendly foreign states to be recognized as property of the republic. The law covers land plots and movable and immovable property owned by the owners on February 24, 2022. At the end of October 2022, the head of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, instructed to nationalize enterprises related to the political leadership of Ukraine.
Among the nationalized objects were the enterprises of famous Ukrainian businessmen, such as Rinat Akhmetov and Igor Kolomoisky, former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk, deputy Nestor Shufrich, as well as Lithuanian businessman Kolas Igor. The list also includes the Kamysh-Burunsky iron ore plant, the assets of 12 Ukrainian banks and a refrigeration plant in Krasnoperekopsk.
According to Konstantinov, the demand for nationalized assets remains high, which confirms the success of the auctions. He stressed that all proceeds will be used to equip participants in a special military operation.[2]

Hackers revealed the data of tankers attacking the Crimean bridge
RaHDit hackers ("Evil Russian Hackers") published the routes of ships from which drones could be launched to strike the Crimean bridge. This was reported on July 20, 2023 by RIA Novosti.
The hacker group found out that two tankers - Beks Loyal and Khudayar Yusifzade, which fly under the flags of the Marshall Islands and Liberia, respectively, could have been involved in the sea drone dumping operation.
It is clarified that one ship drifted 100 km from Novorossiysk a few days before the attack, and the second tanker drifted south. Beks Loyal and Khudayar Yusifzade then met at sea. Hackers claim that at that moment, unsecured boats were transferred from one tanker to another, which struck the Crimean bridge.
According to the Marine Traffic website, by July 20, 2023, the Beks Loyal tanker is on a raid near the port of the Romanian city of Constanta, and the Khudayar Yusifzade is moored in the port of Elefsis in Greece.
The Beks Loyal tanker has nothing to do with the attack on the Crimean bridge, the owner of Beks Tanker Management A. S. said in response to hacker data published by RIA Novosti that the ship was near the site of the attack and could participate in it.
| | We were deeply upset by this news, it is far from reality. Our ship was about 100 miles from the area during this attack, "Efe Tunaly, director of the company's operations department, told RBC. | |

Damage to the Crimean bridge by the explosion of a guided boat of Ukraine
After the night attack on July 17, 2023, personnel with damaged supports of the Crimean bridge appeared on the Web. Judging by the photo and video materials, the explosion really occurred under the bridge, which is why the structure was thrown onto the supports.
However, there is no complete destruction, which will significantly reduce the repair time. This indirectly confirms that a keyless boat was used to strike.

1787-1791: Second Turkish War "Potemkinskaya"
The Second Turkish War (1787-1791), called "Potemkinskaya," began with the victory of Russia on the Kinburn Spit (near Ochakov). At its entrance was a small fortress occupied by a Russian detachment (1,600 people) under the command of A.V. Suvorov. The fortress was of important strategic importance, making it difficult for the Turks to enter the Dnieper and preventing Ochakov from communicating directly with Crimea.
At dawn on October 1, 1787, under the cover of 600 guns of Ochakov and his fleet, more than 5 thousand Turks landed on the Kinburn Spit and moved to the fortress. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Russians attacked the Turks. In a fierce battle, the initiative passed from one opponent to another. A horse was wounded near Suvorov, he himself was shell-shocked by buckshot under his heart, but did not leave the battle. Ours retreated, but by night, led by Suvorov, they again rushed to attack. A terrible beating of the enemy began - a little more than 600 people escaped from the entire Turkish landing.
1475: Seizure of Crimea by Turks upsets Ivan the Young's wedding to Mangup prince's daughter
Ivan III, after marrying the niece of the last Byzantine emperor Sophia Paleolog (1472), tried to strengthen the connection of the Rurikovich with the relatives of his second wife and marry his son from the first marriage of Ivan the Young to the daughter of the Mangup prince (principality of Theodoro in Crimea).
Negotiations in 1474 were successful, but the ambassadors of Ivan III who soon arrived in Crimea were no longer able to carry out the mission assigned to them, since in 1475 the capital of the principality, among many other Crimean cities, was besieged by the Turks who came to the peninsula.
The siege of Mangupta lasted six months. According to legend, Muscovites were among his defenders. After the fall of the capital, the principality, which fell under the rule of the Turks, quickly fell into disrepair.

476: The fall of the Roman Empire and the crisis in the former dependent cities in the Northern Black Sea region
In 476, the last Roman emperor was overthrown, which marked the end of the existence of the Roman Empire and, accordingly, the loss of control over its colonies, including in the Northern Black Sea region.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Greek and Roman colonies in the Northern Black Sea region experienced a crisis, but many of them continued to exist as part of the Byzantine Empire, becoming an outpost of Christian civilization. During the Great Migration of Peoples and subsequent invasions of various tribes (Goths, Huns, Khazars, Polovtsy), cities experienced decay or were destroyed, and the Greek population assimilated or emigrated.

375 BC: Scythian vessel of electrum
Scythian art until the sixth century B.C.E. is dominated by zoomorphic motifs and very rarely depicted by humans. However, as the number of contacts with the Greeks increases, human figures and narrative scenes begin to appear, with a corresponding increase in iconographic and compositional complexity.
A minted vessel of electrum (a natural alloy of gold and silver) was excavated in the Kul-Oba mound, near Kerch on the northern shore of the Black Sea, in 1830.
By the fourth century BC, Scythian burial mounds were extremely rich in funerary goods, and much of the metalwork shows clear Greek influence. The subjects often depict scenes from the Scythian everyday life. The scene in the photo on the left shows a man apparently pulling a tooth from his mate's mouth.
A mixture of Greek and Scythian styles led to debate over whether the items were made by Scythian jewelers or Greeks - either itinerant metalworkers or in Greece specifically for Scythian clients.
The shape of this vessel shows a classic influence, like chained guilloshing and decor in the form of tabs on the bottom of the case. However, the figures, like the typical low relief, are undoubtedly Scythian. Whether made Greek or Scythian, the vessel is an excellent example of the region's pronounced hybrid style.
475 BC: Scythian raids from Crimea through freezing strait into Sindh and Greek settlements
Main article: Greek colonies in Russia
During excavations of an early Greek settlement on the site of Anapa, archaeologists discovered traces of several fires that destroyed residential buildings and outbuildings. Some of them could be associated with the winter raids of the Crimean Scythians into the Sindian lands, which Herodotus reports: "The sea freezes and the whole Bosporus of Cimmeria. And the Scythians, who live on this side of the moat, make military campaigns on the ice and drive covered wagons to the opposite coast, to the land of the Sindhs. " The purpose of these campaigns, apparently, was the desire of the Scythians, under the threat of weapons, to force the Sinds to pay tribute. However, it is certain that the Northern Black Sea nomads during these hostilities could plunder the Greek cities and rural settlements that met along the way.
