Kuibysheve, Crimea

Kuibysheve (Куйбишеве; Куйбышево) or Albat (Албат; Албат; Albat) is an urban-type settlement in the Bakhchysarai Raion of Crimea. Population:

The town features in the Russian language novel, 'Serye Pchely' (translated into English as 'Grey Bees') by Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov, published in 2018 but set during the conflict of 2014.

Originally known as Albat, the settlement was renamed Kuibysheve in 1944. On 23 August 2023, the Ukrainian parliament restored the former name. As with many renamed places in Crimea, this has had little practical effect due to the Russian occupation.
