Crimeans
Black Sea inhabitants
Crimeans are people from Crimea, a peninsula on the northern coast of the Black Sea.
The term appears in historical contexts like the Crimean War (1853–1856) and in contemporary discussions of the region's disputed status between Ukraine and Russia: Crimeans voted in a controversial 2014 referendum.
