Bishui (Abandoned place)

Title:

Bishui

Description:

686 Greeks abandoned this area in 1778.

In the wake of their departure, the Tatar population of the village grew in time. The village thrived generation after generation until May 1944, when the Tatars were summarily deported.

In August 1945 authorities in Moscow gave Beshui a new name: Drovianka. In subsequent years Communist Party officials in Simferopol dissolved the Drovianka collective farm.

By 1965 it had been struck from the list of inhabited places of Crimea.
