Chorgun village in the first half of the 20s of XXth century

The study touches upon the history of the Chernorechye village (formerly Chorgun) located on the territory of the federal city Sevastopol in the early 20s of the XXth century. Based on archived data, this paper presents a study devoted to the development of the Soviet power, transformations in social and economic structures, and establishment of new state and public institutions in a large village of the Balaklavsky district in Sevastopol. The authors also considered the demographic processes in the village and in the Balaklavsky District and administrative changes that affected Chorgun during the given period. The paper describes the way the village population coped with the food crisis of 1921-1923. As shown in study documents, the local Soviet authorities in Chorgun had representatives of both Crimean Tatars and Russians. However, the leading positions were mainly held by Crimean Tatars in order to meet the policy of «indigenization» pursued during that period.
