YaltaYalta is a town in the Crimea in southern Ukraine, on the north coast of the Black Sea, that was the site of the Yalta Conference. It has about 200,000 inhabitants. Near Yalta is the Levadia Palace, former summer home of the Russian royal family, where the conference actually took place. Throughout the Soviet era it continued to be an important resort for the Soviet elite. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union it has, however, struggled economically. Yalta is the setting for Anton Chekov's short story The Lady With the Dog. External links
