History
The very same story, it also began from the 18th century

During the XV-XVII centuries, the Crimean Khanate was located on the site of the future New Russia, in the west - the Moldavian principality, in the northern part - the lands of the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, subordinated to the Commonwealth.

After the Pereyaslav Rada and the entry of the Hetmanate into the Russian kingdom, the latter intensified the advance to the south and the process of colonization of the territory. The settlement of the region began with the founding of small military settlements, the garrisons of which consisted of Zaporizhzhya Cossacks and royal servants. Many of these settlements were fortified prisons and villages, which prevented the Crimean-Nogai raids and formed new fortified lines advanced deep into the steppes, such as the Izyum line.

In the first half of the 18th century, the border between Russia and Turkey was clearly defined here for the first time.

In 1752, the first military-agricultural settlement of Serbs and Hungarians from the Habsburg Empire was formed, called New Serbia, later followed by the Bulgarians and Volokhi. Later, the region was divided into New Serbia (from the Polish lands to the Dnieper) and Slavic Serbia* (to the east of the Dnieper along the Ukrainian border line).

In 1764, the territory of deployment of the hussar regiments of the Novoserbian military corps, which consisted of the entire local male population, was transformed into the Novorossiysk province, which included Slavic Serbia and the Ukrainian line. Catherine II called it Novorossiya, meaning that this is a new land along with Great Russia and Little Russia. Initially, Novorossia covered the territory of the Bakhmut district, the Mirgorod and Poltava regiments (from the Hetmanate). Since 1765, the center of the province was Kremenchug.

The development of Novorossiya became widespread from the end of the 18th century under the leadership of Prince Potemkin, who had almost unlimited powers for this task from Empress Catherine II. Under him, historical Zaporozhye was annexed to Novorossia, a new center was built - Yekaterinoslav (1776). In 1778, Kherson became the most southwestern city of Novorossia. In 1783 Novorossiya was joined by the Crimea. Administratively, the Novorossiysk province existed during the reign of Catherine II - from 1764 to 1783, when it became part of the newly formed Yekaterinoslav governorship.

Paul I, by decree of December 12, 1796, revived the Novorossiysk province with the center in Yekaterinoslav (under Paul I the city was called Novorossiysk), where the county towns were Bakhmut, Yekaterinoslav, Elisavetgrad, Constantinograd, Mariupol, Olviopol, Pavlograd, Perekop, Rostov, Simferopol, Tiraspol* , Kherson. It existed until 1802, after which it was divided into Nikolaev, Yekaterinoslav and Tauride provinces. In 1803, the Nikolaev province was renamed Kherson.

In 1865, the Imperial Novorossiysk University was founded in Odessa.

In 1805, the Novorossiysk-Bessarabian Governor-Generalship was formed, one of the first governors of which was the Duke of Richelieu. It existed until 1873, its last governor was Pavel Kotzebue, who ruled the region until 1874.

Since the 1860s, more than 10 railways have been laid across the territory of Novorossia, and the development of the Donetsk coal basin has accelerated. Since the 1880s, the development of manganese deposits near Nikopol and mercury near Nikitovka, the Krivoy Rog iron ore deposit, began. By 1902, there were 20 metallurgical plants, a number of machine-building and other plants were built, and shipbuilding was actively developing in Odessa, Nikolaev, and Kherson. Agriculture played an important role.

After the October Revolution, on October 31 (November 13), 1917, the Ukrainian Central Rada, among other territories, extended the power of its government - the General Secretariat - to Kherson, Yekaterinoslav and the northern regions of the Tauride provinces. On November 7 (20), the Third Universal of the Central Rada proclaimed the creation of the Ukrainian People's Republic, which included territories with a majority population of Ukrainians, including Kherson and Yekaterinoslav provinces and districts of Northern Tavria (excluding Crimea).

In December 1917-January 1918, a struggle for power took place on this territory between supporters of Soviet power and the armed formations of the Central Rada, which ended with the establishment of Soviet power. However, already in February-March 1918, the Northern Black Sea region, like the rest of the territory of the UNR, was occupied by Austro-German troops, who remained here until November 1918.

In 1919-1920, the South of Russia (an autonomous state formation in the territories controlled by the White Guard Armed Forces of the South of Russia) was administratively divided into four regions by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the All-Union Socialist Republic of Russia, one of which was the Novorossiysk region, or Novorossia, with a center in Odessa (the other three: Kharkov, Kyiv region and North Caucasus region). In 1919, detachments of the Makhnovists operated on the territory of Novorossia (Ekaterinoslav and Northern Taurida).

In the territories of Novorossia with a predominantly non-Russian population in the 1920s-1930s, a policy of indigenization was carried out, during which elements of the language and culture of the nationalities living on these lands (Ukrainians, Germans, Greeks, Bulgarians, etc.) were promoted and introduced. In the late 1930s, indigenization was curtailed, and Russification came in its place[13]. During the Great Patriotic War and after its end, German settlers and Crimean Tatars in full force were evicted to Siberia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, Greek and others - partially.

In 2014, the existence of Novorossia was resumed, until 2015*
