Black Sea coast of Russia

(Black Sea coast with resort towns of Russia)

The length of the Russian Black Sea coastline today is 1200 km. It starts from the Caucasus Mountains, continues along the coastal strip from Taman to Adler, and includes the Crimean coast.

Its relief is represented by the Caucasus and South Coast mountains, lowlands and estuaries, mainly in the eastern part, as well as steep ledges. In general, the line is poorly indented; there is a single peninsula - Crimea. There are no islands in the Black Sea.

Russia's access to the Black Sea

Russia first began to claim access to the Black Sea by appropriating coastal lands in the 18th century. It was a victorious war with Turkey, which resulted in the conquest of Anapa and the Crimean Peninsula. After this, at the beginning of the 19th century, the settlement of the conquered lands by the Slavs began.

Crimea was given to Ukraine immediately after the collapse of the USSR, but in 2014 the entire peninsula, including the Crimean Black Sea coast, re-entered Russia, and is the subject of disputes with Ukraine and the Western world.

Characteristics of the Black Sea

Depth: maximum 2210 m

Coasts: pebbles, gravel, sand and steep stone banks

Climate: mostly continental, the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and Tuapse have a milder subtropical climate

The location of the coastline of the Russian Black Sea coast and the landscape features determined the formation of three climatic zones at once:
