The peninsula of Crimea, long called Tavrida, is considered to be one of the most precious parts of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and modern Russia. A beautiful corner of the earth, going into the Black Sea from the southern side of Eastern Europe, is a paradise for tourists, vacationers, travelers, lovers of nature and national history. There is an amazing variety of landscapes: from mountain peaks and steppes to picturesque seascapes. The healing climate alternates from moderately continental to southern, subtropical. Over the past millennia, many peoples have lived on the Crimean peninsula: brands, Kimmerians, Scythians, Greeks, Goths, Tatars and of course Slavs. Orthodox Tavrida became the cradle of the Epiphany of Russia, and after the victory over the Ottoman Empire - an impregnable fortress of the Russian Fleet and a favorite health resort of Russians. The book of historian P.V. Tulaev is devoted to the development of the peninsula from the ancient era to the present day. The book's fascinating narrative is based on a plethora of documentary facts and life stories adorned with rare illustrations and maps.
