For some time, the metropolis was part of independent Ukraine. During this period, the number of Russians decreased with a symmetric increase in the number of Ukrainians. This was due to a change in national identity and mechanical growth. So, if in Sevastopol in 1959 only 17.0% of Ukrainians lived, by 2001 their share had increased to 22.4%. At the same time, the share of Russians decreased from 76.8% to 71.6%.

The beginning of the twentieth century
In the late XIX - early XX centuries, Great Russians (63.5% or 34 014 people out of 53 595 city dwellers, census on the original language of 1897), Little Russians (13.7% or 7 322 people), Jews (6.9%) inhabited Sevastopol. or 3,679).

You must admit that the population of the city was very diverse at that time. Sevastopol today is a very interesting metropolis.
According to the census of 1897, Jewish Rabbanites lived in it: only 3,910 souls, or 7.4% of all citizens.Of these, 830 families identified themselves as Karaites, and 70 as Crimeans.

The census of 2001 showed that 90.6% of Sevastopol residents consider their native language Russian, and 6.8% - Ukrainian.
Other characteristics
And let's study the local population in more detail (Sevastopol). By 2009, its average life expectancy was 69.7 years (for men 63.7 years, for women 75.2 years). The city had the lowest mortality rate for children in Ukraine (with an index of 4.9 per thousand people).
This metropolis won second place after Kiev in terms of employment: against the background of an increase in the total number of employed people from 61.5% to 62.9%, a positive progress in the movement of workers is manifested. It is known that the replacement rate for expelled workers rose to 104.5%.

A sample survey of households in the metropolis showed that their number is 133.5 thousand. Typically, three people live in these households (2.48).
Crimea
And now we will study the modern population of Crimea and Sevastopol. In the federal Crimean district, as of January 1, 2016, there were 2,323,358 permanent residents: 1,190,116 people lived in the Republic of Crimea, and 416,263 people lived in Sevastopol.
It is known that the Republic of Crimea is in 27th place among the subjects of Russia, and Sevastopol (a city of federal significance) is in 77th place. The statistical services of the city of Sevastopol with special status and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea determined that as of January 1, 2014, the total number of their inhabitants was 2,342,400 permanent residents, including 1,958,604 souls in Crimea.
From 1989 to 2001, a population census was not carried out, but the Republic of Crimea moved from 8th to 7th place in Ukraine as a part of Ukraine, standing out for its relatively slow depopulation rate. The latter was explained by the fact that Crimea retained its migration charisma, and its migration balance had a surplus, which in terms of absolute value was second only to Kiev (the times when Crimea became part of Ukraine). This indicator was formed as a result of intra-Ukrainian movements and an active influx of migrants from other countries. First of all, it was the Crimean Tatars who repatriated to Crimea, as well as attorneys of other previously repressed peoples (Armenians, Greeks, Germans and others).
Krymstat data show that by October 1, 2014, the number of permanent residents of Crimea was 1,965,262 people (including 742,217 rural and 1,223,055 urban residents), and the real population was 1,974,017 souls.
Urbanization
In 2014, on October 14, a census was conducted in the Crimean Federal District. Its result showed that the number of citizens amounted to 1,323,050 souls, or 57.91% of the total residents of the Volga Federal District, including 959,916 people in the Crimea, or 50.755. At that time, 961,719 souls, or 42.09% (in the CFD) and 931,549 people or 49.25% in the republic, lived in the village.
A sharp decrease in the urban population and an increase in the rural population is due to the fact that from 2001 to 2014 in the Crimea all urban-type settlements were assigned to rural settlements.
By the way, the population of Crimea has increased significantly since the time of the All-Union Registration of 1989 due to the resettlement in the villages of Crimean Tatars, who come back to the peninsula.
Religion
Most Greeks, Russians, Bulgarians and Ukrainians living in Crimea profess Orthodoxy. The Uzbeks scrupulously study Sunni Islam, and many Azerbaijanis are unshakable Shiite Muslims. There are many Protestants, Catholics (including Greek Catholics), Jews (including Karaites and Krymchaks).
We hope that with the help of our article you could get the most complete picture of the population of Sevastopol and the Republic of Crimea.
