The article is devoted to the history of Crimean Tatar migrations in the nineteenth – early twentieth centuries based on the documents of the Russian State Historical Archive. The author explores archive documents on the history of the Crimea in the eighteenth – early twentieth centuries, including data on the history of migrations of the local population in this period. The exploration of archival materials allows researching the causes and consequences of mass Crimean Tatars emigration as well as their return movement to the Crimea. The article concerns an almost unexplored problem of the back migration to the Crimea of the immigrants and their descendants who intended to return to the Russian Empire in 1880–1884. The author also describes the documents from the personal archival funds that contain the information of eyewitnesses of historical events.
