Geography
[edit | edit source]Oreanda is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 197 metres (646 ft).[2] The settlement is located 5 km (3.1 mi) from Yalta. The Khrestova peak of the Crimean Mountains is located in Oreanda.
History
[edit | edit source]Oreanda was first mentioned in Peter Simon Pallas's 1793 book Journey through various provinces of the Russian Empire as Urhenda (Cyrillic: Ургенда).[5]
In the first half of the 19th century, Oreanda belonged to the House of Potocki; it later became a part of the Russian tsar's territory. From 1842 to 1852, a Greek Revival palace was built in Oreanda by architect Andrei Stackenschneider. The American writer Mark Twain once stayed at the palace before it burned down in 1882. Leonid Brezhnev had a house in Oreanda which President Richard Nixon visited in 1974 following the Moscow Summit.
In the 1940s-1950s, two sanatoriums were built in Oreanda, one of which was designed by Soviet Constructivist architect Moisei Ginzburg.
In culture
[edit | edit source]Much of Anton Chekhov's short story The Lady with the Dog, published in 1899, takes place in Oreanda.[6]
