Lomonosove (Ukrainian: Ломоносове; Crimean Tatar: Lomonosovo; Russian: Ломоносовo) is a village in Bilohirsk Raion, Autonomous Republic of Crimea, southern Ukraine, which is currently occupied and annexed by the Russian Federation. Despite Ukraine's administrative reform in 2020, Russia continues to administer the settlement as part of the Nyzhnohirskyi Raion. As of the 2001 Ukrainian Census, Lomonosove counted a population of 747 inhabitants.[1]
Under the Soviet Union
During World War II, the settlement came under German occupation. The local Jewish population was either forced to flee, or massacred by the invading forces.[2] After the end of the war and the ethnic cleansing of the local Jewish and Crimean Tatar population by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union respectively, Lomonosove was settled by Ukrainians and Russian working immigrants from the Tambov Oblast.[3]
In independent Ukraine
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the local Crimean Tatar population of Lomonosove saw rapid growth, as most of the surviving population returned to Crimea.[citation needed]
In 2014, in violation of international law, Russia invaded and occupied Crimea. After conducting what was vastly considered to be a sham referendum, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was incorporated by Russian Federation as the Republic of Crimea.[4]
