Lenine or Lenino (Ukrainian: Леніне; Crimean Tatar: Yedi Quyu; Russian: Ленино) is an urban-type settlement in the east of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and incorporated by Russia as the Republic of Crimea. It is located in the southwestern portion of the Kerch Peninsula. It is the administrative center of Lenine Raion. Population: 7,881 (2013 est.)[2].
Its Crimean Tatar name "Yedi Quyu" means "Seven Wells". Until 1957, it was known as Sem Kolodezey (Russian: Семь Колодезей; Ukrainian: Сім Колодязів) which also means "Seven Wells" in Russian/Ukrainian, but then was renamed after Vladimir Lenin. The railway station by the Dzhankoy-Kerch branch located in the settlement is still called Sem Kolodezey.
