context_page_description: Yedisan is a historical territory of the Wild Fields extending from the northern coasts of Black Sea. It appeared sometime in the 17th and 18th centuries as part of the Ottoman Silistra and was named after one of Nogai Hordes. In the Russian Empire it was referred to as Ochakov Oblast, while the Ottoman Turks called it simply Özü after the city of Ochakiv which served as its administrative center. Among other names, there was Western Nogai.

It lies east of Budjak and Moldavia, south of Podolia and Zaporizhia, and west of Taurida. Since the mid-20th century, the territory has been divided between southwestern Ukraine and southeastern Moldova.
