0
On the TV channel Russia 24, a documentary film by Arkady Mamontov “Crimea. A new era. " The film tells about all the changes in Crimea that occurred after reunification with Russia, about the mood of local residents and their opinion on the construction of new facilities, the revival of health and education, and much more.

The Crimean Peninsula is located in the northern part of the Black Sea. In the X century, Prince Vladimir was baptized here - the founder of the Orthodox Russian state. Until the XIII century, the peninsula was called Tavria, later - Kyrym, which in translation from Turkic means “rampart”, “wall”, “moat”. In 1783, Crimea became part of the Russian Empire and was renamed by Empress Catherine the Great to Taurida, but later her son, Emperor Paul I, returned the name of the peninsula to the Crimea.



In Soviet times, the peninsula received the status of a republic and until 1954 was part of the RSFSR, while the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Nikita Khrushchev, did not give Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR.

In March 2014, a referendum was held on the annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation, as a result of which on March 17 the peninsula was proclaimed the independent Republic of Crimea, and the next day became part of the Russian Federation.

On March 18, 2019, Crimea and Russia celebrated their first anniversary since reunification.
