The Crimean Peninsula moved from the Black Sea to the northern Pacific Ocean on
November 13, 1920. General Wrangel, realizing that something is wrong, suspends the evacuation of the Russian army and the civilian population. Soon the White Guards saw that Crimea had become an island somewhere in the southern hemisphere and realized that the Bolsheviks no longer threatened them. However, the peninsula's resources did not allow for a long time to provide the large population with everything necessary, and therefore he sent the ships of the Russian squadron to investigate and began to try to establish radio communication with European possessions. A few days later, the Russian dreadnought General Alekseev made contact with the British cruiser. The British Empire and the United States were very surprised to learn that the Russian anti-communists were so far away, but they sent an embassy to Sevastopol.
The first years were a difficult time for the inhabitants of Crimea, as they did not provide themselves with food. His breadbasket has always been the northern counties of the Tauride province, or Northern Tavria, which lay beyond the Isthmus of Perekop. Now, when only the Crimean Island remained in the hands of the White Army, the threat of starvation hung over the army and the population that had accumulated on it. The price of basic necessities has increased unimaginably. Despite the fight against speculation and attempts to regulate food prices, the "black market" prevailed, and a significant part of the population continued to live half-starved. This was especially true of civil servants and intellectuals who lived in cities and had no other sources of income other than government service.
Fortunately, the United States helped the Crimean Republic.The American Relief Administration (ARA) provided food, medicines and warm clothes for those in need, and many ordinary people helped the residents of Crimea.As a result, due to the development of agriculture and the emigration of superfluous people in 1925, the threat of famine disappeared.
Will the White Guards be able to preserve their state and become the best version of Russia, or will they be conquered by other states?
*The population of Crimea at the time of the transfer was 1,500,000, of which a significant part were refugees from the territories occupied by the Bolsheviks.
