Bahativka or Bogatovka (Ukrainian: Багатівка; Russian: Богатовка) is a village in the Sudak Municipality of the Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.[2]

Previously, the settlement was known as the Tokluk village (Crimean Tatar; Crimean Turkish: Toqluq). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[3]

Bahativka is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 154m (505feet).[1] Its population was 718 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[2] Current population:
