Story

In the period from the end of 1917 to the end of 1920, Crimea passed "from hand to hand" (Muslims, "Reds", Germans, Ukrainians, again "Reds", "Whites", and again "Reds"). After the final establishment of Soviet power in the Crimea, 2 new counties were formed - Sevastopol (December 15, 1920) and Kerch (December 25, 1920).

On January 8, 1921, the division of counties into volosts was abolished. Instead, a county-district system was created. In the Dzhankoy (former Perekop) district, the Armenian and Dzhankoy regions were formed; in Kerch - Kerch and Petrovsky; in Sevastopol - Sevastopol and Bakhchisaray; in Simferopol - Biyuk-Onlar, Karasubazar, Sarabuz and Simferopol; in Feodosia - Ichkinsky, Old Crimean, Sudak and Feodosia; in Yalta - Alushta and Yalta.

Crimean ASSR

On October 18, 1921, by a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, the Tauride province of the RSFSR was transformed into the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, divided into 7 districts (former districts), which, in turn, were divided into 20 districts.

In November 1923, the districts were abolished and 15 districts were created instead of them: Ak-Mechetsky, Alushta, Armenian, Bakhchisaray, Dzhankoy, Evpatoria, Kerch, Karasubazar, Sarabuz, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Staro-Krymsky, Sudaksky, Feodosia and Yalta. However, already in 1924, the Ak-Mechet, Alushta, Armenian, Sarabuz and Staro-Krymsky regions were abolished.

On October 30, 1930, instead of 10 districts, 16 districts were created: Ak-Mechetsky, Alushta, Balaklava, Bakhchisarai, Biyuk-Onlarsky, Dzhankoysky, Evpatoria, Ishunsky, Karasubazarsky, Leninsky, Seitlersky, Simferopolsky, Staro-Krymsky, Sudaksky, Feodosia and Yalta. The cities of Kerch, Sevastopol, Simferopol and Feodosia were under republican subordination.

In 1935, 10 new districts were formed: Ak-Sheikhsky, Ichkinsky, Kirovsky, Kolaisky, Kuibyshevsky, Larindorfsky, Mayak-Salynsky, Saksky, Telmansky and Freidorfsky. Feodosia region was abolished. In 1937, the Zuysky District was formed.

Some districts had a national status: Balaklava, Kuibyshevsky, Bakhchisaray, Yalta, Alushta, Sudak - Crimean Tatar, Freidorf and Larindorf - Jewish, Buyuk-Onlar and Telman - German, Ishunsky (later Krasnoperekopsky) - Ukrainian. To the beginning of the Great Patriotic War all districts lost their national status (in 1938 - German, in - Jewish, then all the rest).

On the map, the Crimean Tatar regions are highlighted in turquoise, Jewish - in blue, German - in orange, Ukrainian - in yellow, mixed regions - in pink.

Crimean region

On December 14, 1944, 11 districts of Crimea were renamed: Ak-Mechetsky - into Black Sea, Ak-Sheikhsky - into Razdolnensky, Biyuk-Onlarsky - into Oktyabrsky, Ichkinsky - into Sovietsky, Karasubazarsky - into Belogorsky, Kolaisky - into Azov, Larindorfsky - into Pervomaisky , Mayak-Salynsky - to Primorsky, Seitlersky - to Nizhnegorsky, Telmansky - to Krasnogvardeisky, Freidorfsky - to Novoselovsky.

On June 30, 1945, the Crimean ASSR was transformed into the Crimean Oblast. In addition to 26 districts, it included 6 cities of regional subordination: Evpatoria, Kerch, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Feodosia and Yalta.

In 1948, Sevastopol was singled out as an "independent administrative and economic center" and "classified as cities of republican subordination" [⇨] . In the same year, the Yalta region was abolished. In 1953, the Novoselovsky district was abolished, in 1957-1959 - Balaklava, Zuysky and Staro-Krymsky districts. The city of Dzhankoy passed into regional subordination.

On December 30, 1962, the Azov, Kirov, Kuibyshevsky, Oktyabrsky, Pervomaisky, Primorsky, Razdolnensky, Saksky, Simferopol, Soviet and Sudak regions were abolished. The remaining 10 districts (Alushta, Bakhchisarai, Belogorsk, Dzhankoy, Evpatoria, Krasnogvardeisky, Krasnoperekopsky, Leninsky, Nizhnegorsky and Chernomorsky) were transformed into rural areas. In 1963, instead of the Evpatoria region, the Saki region was created. In 1964, the Alushta district was abolished, and Alushta was transformed into a city of regional subordination.

On January 4, 1965, rural areas were upgraded to districts. The Kirovsky, Razdolnensky and Simferopol regions were also restored. In 1966, Pervomaisky and Sovetsky districts were created. In 1979, Saki received the status of a city of regional subordination. In the same year, the Sudak region was formed.

After 1991

In 1993, Armyansk received the status of a city of republican subordination.

After 2014

In 2014, territories with settlements, subordinate to the city councils of cities of republican subordination, received the status municipalities as city districts.

All urban-type settlements that had such a status at the time of joining Russia in March 2014 lost their status of urban settlements and were categorized as rural settlements; it was in this capacity that they were taken into account in the 2014 census, which led to the statistical phenomenon of population growth rural population and reduction of the urban population of the Republic of Crimea.

An excerpt characterizing the Administrative-territorial division of the Republic of Crimea

X
Returning to the guardhouse, Petya found Denisov in the entryway. Denisov, in agitation, anxiety and annoyance at himself for letting Petya go, was waiting for him.
- God bless! he shouted. - Well, thank God! he repeated, listening to Petya's enthusiastic story. “And why don’t you take me, because of you I didn’t sleep!” Denisov said. “Well, thank God, now go to bed.” Still vzdg "let's eat to utg" a.
“Yes… No,” said Petya. “I don’t feel like sleeping yet. Yes, I know myself, if I fall asleep, it's over. And then I got used to not sleeping before the battle.
Petya sat for some time in the hut, joyfully recalling the details of his trip and vividly imagining what would happen tomorrow. Then, noticing that Denisov had fallen asleep, he got up and went into the yard.
It was still quite dark outside. The rain had passed, but the drops were still falling from the trees. Near the guardroom one could see the black figures of Cossack huts and horses tied together. Behind the hut, two wagons with horses stood black, and a burning fire burned red in the ravine. The Cossacks and hussars were not all asleep: in some places, along with the sound of falling drops and the close sound of horses chewing, soft, as if whispering voices were heard.
Petya came out of the passage, looked around in the darkness, and went up to the wagons. Someone was snoring under the wagons, and saddled horses stood around them, chewing oats. In the darkness, Petya recognized his horse, which he called Karabakh, although it was a Little Russian horse, and went up to her.
“Well, Karabakh, we’ll serve tomorrow,” he said, sniffing her nostrils and kissing her.
- What, sir, do not sleep? - said the Cossack, who was sitting under the wagon.
- No; and ... Likhachev, it seems to be your name? After all, I just arrived. We went to the French. - And Petya told the Cossack in detail not only his trip, but also why he went and why he thinks that it is better to risk his life than to make Lazarus at random.
“Well, they would have slept,” said the Cossack.
“No, I’m used to it,” Petya answered. - And what, the flints in your pistols are not upholstered? I brought with me. Isn't it necessary? You take it.
The Cossack leaned out from under the truck to take a closer look at Petya.
“Because I’m used to doing everything carefully,” said Petya. - Others, somehow, do not get ready, then they regret it. I don't like that.
“That’s right,” said the Cossack.
“And one more thing, please, my dear, sharpen my saber; blunt ... (but Petya was afraid to lie) she had never been honed. Can it be done?
- Why, maybe.
Likhachev got up and rummaged through his packs, and Petya soon heard the warlike sound of steel on a bar. He climbed onto the wagon and sat on its edge. The Cossack sharpened his saber under the wagon.
- And what, the good fellows sleep? Petya said.
- Who is sleeping, and who is like this.
- Well, what about the boy?
- Is it spring? He was there, in the hallways, collapsed. Sleeping with fear. It was glad.
For a long time after that Petya was silent, listening to the sounds. Footsteps were heard in the darkness and a black figure appeared.
- What are you sharpening? the man asked, approaching the wagon.
- But the master sharpen his saber.
“It’s a good thing,” said the man, who seemed to be a hussar to Petya. - Do you have a cup left?
“At the wheel.
The hussar took the cup.
“It’s probably light soon,” he said, yawning, and went somewhere.
Petya should have known that he was in the forest, in the party of Denisov, a verst from the road, that he was sitting on a wagon recaptured from the French, near which horses were tied, that the Cossack Likhachev was sitting under him and sharpening his saber, that a large black spot to the right - a guardhouse, and a bright red spot below to the left - a dying fire, that the man who came for a cup was a hussar who wanted to drink; but he knew nothing and did not want to know it. He was in a magical realm, in which there was nothing like reality. A big black spot, maybe it was definitely a guardhouse, or maybe there was a cave that led into the very depths of the earth. The red spot may have been fire, or perhaps the eye of a huge monster. Maybe he's definitely sitting on the wagon now, but it's very possible that he's not sitting on the wagon, but on a scary high tower, from which if you fall, then you would fly to the ground all day, a whole month - everything will fly and you will never reach it. It may be that just the Cossack Likhachev is sitting under the wagon, but it may very well be that this is the kindest, bravest, most wonderful, most excellent person in the world, whom no one knows. Perhaps it was the hussar who was exactly passing for water and went into the hollow, or perhaps he had just disappeared from sight and completely disappeared, and he was not there.
Whatever Petya saw now, nothing would surprise him. He was in a magical realm where anything was possible.
He looked up at the sky. And the sky was as magical as the earth. The sky was clearing, and over the tops of the trees clouds quickly ran, as if revealing the stars. Sometimes it seemed that the sky was clearing and showed a black, clear sky. Sometimes it seemed that these black spots were clouds. Sometimes it seemed that the sky was high, high above the head; sometimes the sky descended completely, so that you could reach it with your hand.
Petya began to close his eyes and sway.
Drops dripped. There was a quiet conversation. The horses neighed and fought. Someone snored.
“Fire, burn, burn, burn…” whistled the saber being sharpened. And suddenly Petya heard a harmonious chorus of music playing some unknown, solemnly sweet hymn. Petya was musical, just like Natasha, and more than Nikolai, but he never studied music, did not think about music, and therefore the motives that suddenly came to his mind were especially new and attractive to him. The music played louder and louder. The tune grew, passed from one instrument to another. There was what is called a fugue, although Petya had no idea what a fugue was. Each instrument, now resembling a violin, now like trumpets - but better and cleaner than violins and trumpets - each instrument played its own and, without finishing the motive, merged with another, which began almost the same, and with the third, and with the fourth , and they all merged into one and again scattered, and again merged first into a solemn church, then into a brightly shining and victorious one.
“Oh, yes, it’s me in a dream,” Petya said to himself, swaying forward. - It's in my ears. Or maybe it's my music. Well, again. Go ahead my music! Well!.."
He closed his eyes. And from different sides, as if from afar, sounds trembled, began to converge, scatter, merge, and again everything united into the same sweet and solemn hymn. “Ah, what a delight it is! As much as I want and how I want,” Petya said to himself. He tried to lead this huge chorus of instruments.
“Well, hush, hush, freeze now. And the sounds obeyed him. - Well, now it's fuller, more fun. More, even happier. - And from an unknown depth rose increasing, solemn sounds. “Well, voices, pester!” Petya ordered. And first, men's voices were heard from afar, then women's. The voices grew, grew in a steady solemn effort. Petya was terrified and joyful to listen to their extraordinary beauty.
A song merged with the solemn victory march, and drops dripped, and burned, burned, burned ... a saber whistled, and again the horses fought and neighed, not breaking the chorus, but entering it.
Petya did not know how long this went on: he enjoyed himself, was constantly surprised at his own pleasure and regretted that there was no one to tell him. Likhachev's gentle voice woke him up.
- Done, your honor, spread the guard in two.
Petya woke up.
- It's getting light, really, it's getting light! he cried.
Previously invisible horses became visible up to their tails, and a watery light was visible through the bare branches. Petya shook himself, jumped up, took out a ruble bill from his pocket and gave it to Likhachev, waved it, tried the saber and put it in its sheath. The Cossacks untie the horses and tighten the girths.
“Here is the commander,” said Likhachev. Denisov came out of the guardroom and, calling to Petya, ordered to get ready.

Quickly in the semi-darkness, they dismantled the horses, tightened the girths and sorted out the commands. Denisov stood at the guardhouse, giving his last orders. The infantry of the party, slapping a hundred feet, advanced along the road and quickly disappeared between the trees in the predawn fog. Esaul ordered something to the Cossacks. Petya kept his horse in line, impatiently waiting for the order to mount. washed cold water His face, especially his eyes, burned with fire, chills ran down his back, and something in his whole body trembled quickly and evenly.
- Well, are you all ready? Denisov said. - Come on horses.
The horses were given. Denisov was angry with the Cossack because the girths were weak, and, having scolded him, sat down. Petya took up the stirrup. The horse, out of habit, wanted to bite his leg, but Petya, not feeling his weight, quickly jumped into the saddle and, looking back at the hussars moving behind in the darkness, rode up to Denisov.
- Vasily Fyodorovich, will you entrust me with something? Please… for God's sake…” he said. Denisov seemed to have forgotten about the existence of Petya. He looked back at him.
“I’ll tell you about one thing,” he said sternly, “obey me and not meddle anywhere.
During the entire journey, Denisov did not say a word to Petya and rode in silence. When we arrived at the edge of the forest, the field was noticeably brighter. Denisov said something in a whisper to the esaul, and the Cossacks began to drive past Petya and Denisov. When they had all passed, Denisov touched his horse and rode downhill. Sitting on their haunches and gliding, the horses descended with their riders into the hollow. Petya rode next to Denisov. The trembling in his whole body grew stronger. It was getting lighter and lighter, only the fog hid distant objects. Driving down and looking back, Denisov nodded his head to the Cossack who was standing beside him.
- Signal! he said.
The Cossack raised his hand, a shot rang out. And at the same moment there was heard the clatter of galloping horses in front, shouts from different directions, and more shots.
At the same moment as the first sounds of trampling and screaming were heard, Petya, kicking his horse and releasing the reins, not listening to Denisov, who shouted at him, galloped forward. It seemed to Petya that it suddenly dawned brightly, like the middle of the day, at the moment a shot was heard. He jumped to the bridge. Cossacks galloped ahead along the road. On the bridge, he ran into a straggler Cossack and galloped on. There were some people in front—they must have been Frenchmen—running from the right side of the road to the left. One fell into the mud under the feet of Petya's horse.
Cossacks crowded around one hut, doing something. A terrible cry was heard from the middle of the crowd. Petya galloped up to this crowd, and the first thing he saw was the pale face of a Frenchman with a trembling lower jaw, holding on to the shaft of a pike pointed at him.
“Hurrah!.. Guys…ours…” Petya shouted and, giving the reins to the excited horse, galloped forward down the street.
Shots were heard ahead. Cossacks, hussars, and ragged Russian prisoners, who fled from both sides of the road, all shouted something loudly and incoherently. A young man, without a hat, with a red frown on his face, a Frenchman in a blue greatcoat fought off the hussars with a bayonet. When Petya jumped up, the Frenchman had already fallen. Late again, Petya flashed through his head, and he galloped to where frequent shots were heard. Shots were heard in the courtyard of the manor house where he had been last night with Dolokhov. The French sat there behind the wattle fence in a dense garden overgrown with bushes and fired at the Cossacks crowded at the gate. Approaching the gate, Petya, in the powder smoke, saw Dolokhov with a pale, greenish face, shouting something to people. "On the detour! Wait for the infantry!” he shouted as Petya rode up to him.

Crimea (geographical Crimean peninsula) is located in the northern part of the Black Sea, in the south of the former Ukrainian SSR. Since 2014, in fact, it has been part of Russian Federation, however, in the political plane it remains controversial, since there is no corresponding UN jurisdiction.

Particularly stands out having a hilly terrain with a predominance of steppe landscapes. The closest subject of the Russian Federation to Crimea is the Krasnodar Territory.

The natural connection of the Crimea with the mainland is available only with Ukrainian side peninsula, and in geological terms, its territory is a natural continuation of the crystalline shield of Ukraine. From Krasnodar Territory Crimea is separated Kerch Strait. This circumstance makes it necessary to design complex and expensive facilities for the development transport communication between Crimea and Russian territory.

A bit of history

In the period from the end of 1917 to the end of 1920, Crimea passed "from hand to hand" (Muslims, "Reds", Germans, Ukrainians, again "Reds", "Whites", and again "Reds"). After the final establishment of Soviet power in the Crimea, 2 new counties were formed - Sevastopol (December 15, 1920) and Kerch (December 25, 1920).

On January 8, 1921, the division of counties into volosts was abolished. Instead, a county-district system was created. In the Dzhankoy (former Perekop) district, the Armenian and Dzhankoy regions were formed; in Kerch - Kerch and Petrovsky; in Sevastopol - Sevastopol and Bakhchisaray; in Simferopol - Biyuk-Onlar, Karasubazar, Sarabuz and Simferopol; in Feodosia - Ichkinsky, Old Crimean, Sudak and Feodosia; in Yalta - Alushta and Yalta.
Crimean ASSR

On October 18, 1921, by a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR, the Tauride Governorate of the RSFSR was transformed into the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was divided into 7 districts (former districts), which, in turn, were divided into 20 districts.

In November 1923, the districts were abolished and 15 districts were created instead of them: Ak-Mechetsky, Alushta, Armenian, Bakhchisaray, Dzhankoy, Evpatoria, Kerch, Karasubazar, Sarabuz, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Staro-Krymsky, Sudaksky, Feodosia and Yalta. However, already in 1924, the Ak-Mechet, Alushta, Armenian, Sarabuz and Staro-Krymsky regions were abolished.
