65 years ago in ruined by war and deportation of the people Crimea the government of the USSR has organised mass resettlement of tens thousand Russian and Ukrainians on peninsula.

Of it reminds a weekly journal «the First Crimean».

The edition notices that Crimea has become deserted not only as a result of deportation of the Crimean Tatars, but also because of mass demobilisation, atrocities of fascist invaders and population stealing for work in «Faterland».

«On August, 12th, 1944 there was a decision of the State Committee of defence« About resettlement of collective farmers to Crimea »which officially recognises the beginning of the next resettlement of the people. But under stories of old residents, in the Oryol, Kursk, Smolensk villages the recruiters inviting in fantastic warm edges, have appeared in the beginning — the middle of summer, that is to this decision. Terms were put the rigid: by October of the same year to Crimea 51 thousand person -«diligent and hardworking collective farmers from areas of RSFSR and USSR»should get over.

Regional executive committees obliged to give urgently lists of immigrants, and, the order for each area has been given and even is specified, who will locate in what areas of Crimea: «from Krasnodar territory of 7,5 thousand people in Alushtinskiy area, from Stavropol Territory of 6 thousand people in Sudaksky area, from the Rostov region of 3 thousand people in the Yalta area, from the Voronezh region of 6 thousand people in Balaklavsky area …». The Tambov, Kursk, Oryol, Rostov, Bryansk areas, Krasnodar territory have been obliged to give immigrants. From Ukraine it was planned to take out 9 thousand persons. And speech while went only about collective farmers, that is those who should work directly on fields and farms. But there was a order and for teachers, doctors, tractor operators, mechanics, livestock specialists, agriculturists and even … chairmen of collective farms.

In the areas which have received the order the interested person gave lectures about tabacco-growing, gardening and wine growing as no majority of people of concept had how grow up these cultures, told about those places where it is necessary to go, much holding back and much drawing too bright paints. To the commissions which selected immigrants, have forbidden to accept statements from families where there were one old men, children and invalids: hands »were necessary to Crimea, — tells the edition.

To immigrants promised the solid state help: 2,5 thousand roubles on a family, free journey with all property and even cattle.

Behind them all crop from personal plots and earned in collective farms remained, on a place to them have been obliged to give out the same quantity of grain and vegetables. Besides, they on one and a half year were released from all taxes and payments, and also obligatory state deliveries, received under the low prices grain — on 200 kg on a family, and also had the right to take money advances at a rate of 5 thousand roubles on an economy.

Crimean territories «the former Tatar, Bulgarian and other moved collective farms with available crops and plantings» have obliged to give the government, and to immigrants to give numerous empty houses — them at that time on peninsula was more than enough. After five years of work in collective farm these houses free of charge carried over immigrants.

First of all, marks «1К», people carried in areas which Crimeans sincerely name today the most beautiful, with a favorable climate: under Sevastopol, Sudak, on Southern coast, in Belogorsky and Bakhchsarai areas. And nevertheless people hard got used to necessity to appreciate each drop of water, to work with unusual cultures, to abundance of the sun and crude slushy winter. Already in the end of autumn of 1944 collective farms report about losses of hands, about flight of tens immigrants. The exact quantity settled in Crimea and remains to unknown persons, historians converge that the majority of those who has arrived to Crimea in 1944 — 1946, did not remain on peninsula. But here all new and new trains with immigrants from whom it is good if half has settled on peninsula continued to arrive.

Then money for building have gone to Crimea. In 1950 area collective farms have constructed 650 houses, in 1952 there is more than 1,8 thousand, in 1953 about 2 thousand, in 1954 — 2,7 thousand have capitally repaired almost 4 thousand the houses left the Crimean Tatars. But only since 1953 campaign for resettlement became absolutely other, the whole economy, from heads to tractor operators, agriculturists and cattlemen acted in film from a place. Together with them into place went not only personal property, but also collective-farm. So myths of the Ukrainian nationalists about catastrophic demographic and an economic situation «the burnt earth» the Russian Crimea — do not maintain the slightest criticism.

When Crimea has been presented»by Khruschev»brotherly»USSR, it and began to be responsible for its settling, in the mid-fifties here there have in large quantities gone families practically from all its areas, except for the southern.

In 1959, concludes «1К», the population of Crimea has exceeded the pre-war by quantity.
