Azov

The liberation of the Azov region in the spring, the holding of a referendum on the return of the Zaporozhye region to Russia, as well as further prospects for expansion of the liberated territories, put Russia first: the Albanians of Novorussia have become our fellow citizens. Having moved there more than two centuries ago, they are currently represented mainly by the communities living compactly in the three villages of Georgievka, Devninskoye and Gamovo around Melitopol, as well as by half of the large multi-ethnic village of Karakurt (Zhovtnevoe) in the Odessa region.
