History and Administrative Division .
Taurida Gubernia was established in 1802, predecessor Novorossiya; defunct 1917-1918. Its territory were divided by
Ukraine (north) and the RSFSR (Crimea), both founding members of the
USSR in 1922. Taurida Gubernia 1802-1917 bordered on Kherson
and Ekaterinoslav Gubernia in the north, in all other directions on bodies of water
(Black Sea, Kerch Straits, Sea of Asov). At Kerch Straits it faced the Kuban Cossack Host in the east. Taurida Gubernia was divided in 8 districts (Uyezds) : Aleshki or Dniepr, Berdyansk, Melitopol, Eupatoria, Perekop, Simferopol, Theodosia and Yalta, as well as the two cities of Kerch and Sevastopol (W : Taurida G.). The Zemstvo constitution was introduced in 1866, providing for a degree of autonomy. The Zemstvo councils were dominated by noble owners of estates (EOU : Zemstvo). Population . The population in 1811 was 255,000, in 1840 517,000, in 1867 658,000, in 1885 1,080,000, in 1914 2,059,000 (Lahmeyer). Taurida Gubernia provided the stage for the Crimean War 1853-1856, which not only brought war-related casualties, but also pandemics such as cholera. The population figures do reflect a considerable level of immigration. However, the years 1853-1856, 1860-1863 and 1877-1878 saw stages of a partial exodus of the Crimean Tatar population (to the Ottoman Empire; W : Crimean Tatars). Immigrants were mainly Ukrainians (mainland) and Russians (Crimea), further Jews, Germans, Greeks etc. In 1893-1894, the Jewish population was deported from certain parts of the Crimea (W : History of the Jews in Ukraine). Economy . In 1884, 47 % of the area was pastorage, 38.7 % farmland, 6 % forest. The main afgricultural product was grain; vinyards were of importance, as was animal husbandry (Meyer), the cultivation of tobacco and tourism. Historic Encyclopedias : Crimea 1857-1884 |
