Village in Crimea
Dachne (Ukrainian: Дачне; Russian: Дачное) is a village in the Sudak Municipality of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.[2]
Previously, the settlement was known as the Taraktash village (Crimean Tatar: Taraq Taş). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[3]
Dachne is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 69 metres (226 ft).[1] Its population was 2,454 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[2] Current population: 2,628 (2014 Census).[4]
