Abstract
The article examines the specifics of demographic transformations of the Belarusian population of the Crimean Peninsula in the late 19th-first half of the 20th century. The choice of the topic of the work is due to the fact that studies on the demographic processes of the Belarusian population of the Crimean Peninsula are not yet reflected in scientific discourse in detail, despite the fact that Belarusians are the fourth largest ethnic minority of Crimea. The methodological basis of the study was made up of statistical analysis methods, in particular, a summary and grouping of the obtained statistical data, as well as correlation analysis of statistical data were used during the study. The dynamics of changes in the number of the Belarusian population in the context of the administrative-territorial Crimean Peninsula from 1897 to 1939 is analyzed. It is concluded that at the end of the 19th-first half of the 20th century, the maximum concentration of the Belarusian ethnic group was observed in the eastern and southeastern parts of the peninsula. The analysis also showed that if in the first two decades of the 20thcentury there was a sharp increase in the share of the Belarusian ethnic group in the western part of the peninsula, then in the period from 1926 to 1939 the number of Belarusians in the western part of the Crimea again significantly decreased.
