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).[1] Its population was 1,596 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[2] Its current population is 1,675 (2014 Census).[4]
