Lenine or Lenino (Russian: Ленино; Ukrainian: Леніне; Crimean Tatar: Yedi Quyu}) 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: 7,875 (2014 Census).[1]
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.
