Vesyoloye, Krasnodar Krai

Vesyoloye (Russian: Весёлое, IPA: [vʲɪˈsʲɵləɪ]) is a rural locality (a selo) in Nizhneshilovsky Rural Okrug under the administrative jurisdiction of Adlersky City District of the City of Sochi. Population: 4,100 (2002 est.).

Etymology

The locality's name in Russian means "cheerful" and was given due to its beautiful and "cheerful-looking" environs.

Geography

The Psou River divides Vesyoloye with Abkhazia and traffic between Russian and Abkhaziais regulated by the Psou border control center. Vesyoloye stands on the M27 Highway which terminates at the Russian-Abkhazian border.

Science and culture

Vesyoloye is notable for its Research Institute of Medical Primatology, established in 1927.

In 2008, an ethnographic museum opened in Vesyoloye, containing exhibits of archaic materials which various ethnic groups (Russians, Armenians, Adyghe, Georgians) in the region used.

Railway station

Vesyoloye is also home to a railway station of the North Caucasian Railway. Long-distance trains heading to Abkhazia, a disputed territory recognized as independent by Russia, make a stop at the station, where border control is carried out. Since the station is a border station, the territory of the station is surrounded by a concrete fence.
