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.
