Chushka (Russian: Чушка́) is a rural locality (a settlement) in Zaporozhskoye Rural Settlement of Temryuksky District, in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. It is located beside Port Kavkaz, which includes the Kerch Strait ferry terminal, at the end of the Chushka Spit. Population: 109 (2010 Russian census);[1] 292 (2002 Census);[2]
The village is more than a hundred years old. Three hundred people lived here in the 1950s, working in fishing, railways and the ferry port. By January 2008, the population had declined to just under 90, due to the effects of toxic products that are transshipped through Port Kavkaz.[3]
