Sovietskyi (Ukrainian: Совєтський; Russian: Советский) or Ichki (Ukrainian: Ічкі; Russian: Ички; Crimean Tatar: İçki) is an urban-type settlement in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and incorporated by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.

[6] At the beginning of 1941, up to 5,400 people lived in the village of Ichki, and it was classified as an urban-type settlement.

[7][8] On December 14, 1944, as part of the Soviet Union's de-tatarization efforts, the government renamed the village from Ichki to Sovietskyi.

[9] Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Crimea participated and voted in favor of independence during the Ukrainian independence referendum, and Sovietskyi became part of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in Ukraine in 1991.

In 2015, the Verkhovna Rada included Sovietskyi in a list of settlements that required renaming as part of the Ukrainian government's decommunization efforts.
