Simferopol - Симферополь/Simferopol'

Japanese: シンフェロポリ - しんふぇろぽり(英語表記)Симферополь/Simferopol’
Simferopol - Симферополь/Simferopol'

The capital of Crimea Oblast in southern Ukraine. Population 344,000 (2001). Located on the dry plains at the northern foot of the Crimean Mountains. Direct trains depart from Moscow, and the city is also connected by air to major cities in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). It is the base for tourism in Crimea, and long-distance trolley buses run from the city to many resorts on the southern coast of Crimea. Light industries such as canned agricultural products, wine brewing, perfume and balm manufacturing, meat, dairy products, tobacco, and tricot products are thriving in the city, but there are also factories producing food industry equipment and television sets. There is also a university, two higher education institutions, three theaters, a local museum, and a picture gallery. The city has ancient origins, with the ancient Greek colony Neapolis existing in the 3rd century BC, and later the Tatar fortress Kermenchik built there. In addition, the Turkish fortress Ak Meşet was built in the 15th century, which became the city's direct ancestor, and it was incorporated as a city in 1784.

ウクライナ南部、クリミア州の首都。人口34万4000(2001)。クリム(クリミア)山脈北麓(ほくろく)の乾燥した平野に位置する。モスクワからの直通列車が発着し、CIS(独立国家共同体)主要都市と空路でも結ばれる。クリミア観光の基点で、当市からクリミア南岸の多くの保養地へは長距離トロリーバスが通じている。農産物缶詰、ぶどう酒醸造、香油・香水などの製造、食肉、乳酪製品、たばこ、トリコット製品などの軽工業が盛んであるが、食品工業用プラント設備、テレビ受像機などの工場もある。また、総合大学ほか2校の高等研究教育機関、3劇場、郷土博物館、絵画館が置かれている。市の起源は古く、紀元前3世紀には古代ギリシア植民地ネアポリスが存在し、のちタタール人の要塞(ようさい)ケルメンチクが構築された。さらに15世紀にはトルコの要塞アク・メシェットがつくられ、これが直接の起源となり、1784年に市制を敷いた。
