## About

Yedy-Kuiu is a settlement on the Kerch Peninsula in eastern Crimea. It is an inland railway settlement formerly known in Ukrainian as Lenine and in Russian as Lenino.

## Notes

Country UA follows internationally recognized sovereignty over Crimea. Ukrainian parliament voted in 2016 to restore Yedy-Kuiu; the deferred Crimea renaming took effect in 2023. Russian administration continues Lenino; French reference heading Lénine is outdated. The railway station can retain Sem Kolodezey independently of the settlement name. https://ppu.gov.ua/press-center/istoriia-na-karti-krymu-dekomunizatsiia-iak-shliakh-do-vidnovlennia-pam-iati-ta-istorychnoi-spravedlyvosti/ Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of prose frequency.
