Crimean
From Yalta's peninsula
Crimean refers to the Crimean Peninsula, a landmass jutting into the Black Sea, or to things associated with it.
The Crimean War (1853–1856) pitted Russia against an alliance including Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire.
Crimean has returned to prominence since Russia's 2014 annexation of the region from Ukraine.
