Shonus recalled that now the peninsula is called Crimea, “and the rest of the time it was called Taurida.” “There are all material historical monuments confirming this. Catherine the Second in her manifesto (on the entry of Crimea, Taman and Kuban into the Russian Empire – ed.) mentions annexing Crimea as the Taurida province. And Crimea in tsarist Russia was called Tauris,” explained the head of the autonomy of the Crimean Greeks.
In addition, in his opinion, the renaming of Crimea will allow “to get rid of various encroachments from Western countries that have some claims to the Republic of Crimea, as a Russian subject.”
“This (renaming Crimea – ed.) will only give a positive moment for the development of our peninsula. And there are such precedents as North Ossetia (Alania), Yakutia (Sokha). Why can’t historical justice prevail in Crimea, and why can’t it be called the “Republic of Crimea-Tavrida”?..” Shawnus.
