Massive renaming of Crimean toponyms by Soviet government took place during the process of conversion of the Crimean ASSR into the Crimean Oblast, in four waves of renaming (in 1944,[1] 1945,[2] 1948,[3] and 1949). Renaming occurred after the deportation in 1944 of Crimean Tatars and other non-Slavic peoples living in Crimea. The old names were mostly of Crimean Tatar origin, while the new ones were Russian. As a result of the renaming, over 1300 settlements in Crimea received new names (over 90% of the peninsula's settlements).[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] A large part of the villages disappeared in the following decades. After 1990, three settlements returned to their historical names (Koktebel, Partenit, and Sarybash). The renaming is one of manifestations of de-tatarization in Crimea.
In 1944, Raions (districts) and Raion centers of Crimea were renamed; in 1945, village councils and their centers; and in 1948 and 1949, the majority of settlements. This list includes only settlements (i.e., it does not list the renamed districts and village councils). Settlements are divided by districts of the Crimean ASSR with their names before the renaming in the 1940s.
