Abstract

The article is devoted to the migration processes of the Crimea in the last decades. Conducted census data analysis allowed us to track changes in migration processes Peninsula. For the Crimea is characterized by migration exchanges with the neighboring regions of Ukraine and Russia. Forced deportations during World War II caused further repatriation from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Generally speaking, the role of migration in the formation of the region’s population over time is reduced, increasing the share of natives of the Crimea. This is possible a short burst of migration associated with the entry of the peninsula in Russia. However, official estimates of migration are posted on the websites of statistical offices of regions represented overestimated. Among the migrants is increasing the proportion of old-timers – who lives long enough in the place of introduction, and has the lowest probability of further migration.
