Vesele or Vesyoloye (Ukrainian: Веселе; Russian: Весёлое) is a village in the Sudak Municipality of the Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of states as part of Ukraine and annexed and claimed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.
[2] Previously, the settlement was known as the Kutlak village (Crimean Tatar: Qutlaq).
Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.
[3] Vesele is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 126 metres (413 ft).
