THE CRIMEAN PENINSULA IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE HISTORY OF THE RUSSIAN STATE

Abstract

This article examines the history of the Crimean Peninsula in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. This period characterized as the time of the tsarist policy of the Crimea. This policy resulted in the aggravation of contradictions between the Crimean Tatar people with the settlers. Trying to resolve this negative circumstance, the tsarist administration has undertaken a series of reforms, which has somewhat mitigated this problem. This article also explains the rise in the economic development of the Peninsula in the first quarter of the XIX century, which was inextricably linked with the influence of Russian capital in the Crimea. Not neglected by the author remains the policy of Russia towards improving the infrastructure of the region. In 1826 was built the road from Simferopol to Alushta, in 1837, continued to Yalta, and in 1848 – to Sevastopol. In 1848, on the border of the southern coast of the Crimea and the Northern slope of the mountains built Baidar gate.
