Crimean Bulgarians

The village of Kishlav (today Kurske, Bilohirsk Raion) was one of the hubs of the Crimean Bulgarian community

The Crimean Bulgarians (Bulgarian: кримски българи, krimski balgari) are a historical ethnic Bulgarian minority in Crimea, a peninsula in Ukraine on the northern coast of the Black Sea. As of 2014, there are officially 1,868 Bulgarians in Crimea,[1] although the leader of the Bulgarian community estimates up to 2,500 families, including mixed marriages.[2] Crimean Bulgarians are a small subgroup of the much larger Bulgarian minority in Ukraine.
