Oreanda

Oreanda (Ukrainian and Russian: Ореанда; Crimean Tatar: Oreanda) is an urban-type settlement in the Yalta Municipality of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.

Oreanda was first mentioned in Peter Simon Pallas's 1793 book Journey through various provinces of the Russian Empire as Urhenda (Cyrillic: Ургенда).

[5] In the first half of the 19th century, Oreanda belonged to the House of Potocki; it later became a part of the Russian tsar's territory.

Leonid Brezhnev had a house in Oreanda which President Richard Nixon visited in 1974 following the Moscow Summit.

Much of Anton Chekhov's short story The Lady with the Dog, published in 1899, takes place in Oreanda.
