History

Located near the historically significant passes of the Crimean Mountains—Miessis-Bogaz-Sokhakh, Kopek-Bogaz-Sokhakh, Pelakia, and Eski-Bogaz—as well as the nearby Shaitan-Merdven, the village has existed since ancient times. Dolmen burials dating to the 6th–5th centuries BCE have been discovered in the cemetery near the village, along with fragments of amphorae and Greek tiles from later periods.
