Eyewitnesses recalled that because of heavy snow the First Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar people in 1917 in Bakhchisaray began 2 days later than it was planned. Up to 10 cm of snow fell in a few days in the city. Snow in the former capital of the khans is an infrequent phenomenon, so when it falls here, it causes sincere joy and amazement. Look how beautiful it is.
