metadata.value: The article examines the role of local administration of Taurida province in the process of
  emigration of the Crimean Tatars in the second half of the 19th — early 20th century. It is noted
  that this problem has not adequately been addressed in historiography. The article explores
  the reasons which forced the Crimean Tatars to leave their motherland. The author shows
  the position of the tsarist government regarding the emigration processes taking place in the
  Crimea. Contrary to the notion of a number of scholars, the author proves that the Taurida
  governors did not contribute to the Tatars’ departure, but attempted at restricting it as far as
  their authority was concerned. The article pays special attention to the measures adopted by
  the governors in different spheres of life, which aimed at preventing the Tatars from emigrating
  from the Crimea. Thus, the activity of the Taurida governor G. V. Zhukovsky, who did his
  utmost striving to limit mass migration of the Tatar population abroad in 1860, is examined
  in detail. It is shown that one of the problems causing the Tatars’ emigration was their weak
  integration into the Russian society. The administration of the Taurida province looked upon
  establishing secular educational institutions for the Crimean Tatars and their studying the
  Russian language as a possible solution to the problem. It is noted that one of the destabilizing
  factors in the region was poor socio-economic situation of the Crimean Tatars. It was not
  possible for the Taurida governors to solve this problem on their own, but in their reports
  and correspondence with the government officials they did not only stress the necessity of
  addressing this urgent issue, but also suggested ways to resolve it. The article analyses the difficulties
  faced by the leaders of the province in the implementation of the policy. In particular,
  it is shown that the Imperial government did not always support the governors’ initiatives
  while local officials abused their power taking advantage of the difficulties experienced by the
  Crimean Tatars.
