The raion has a 10% Crimean Tatar minority, with the Tatar population reaching 50% in two villages.[2] This minority is a result of a 1967 Soviet decree that restored Tatar rights lost during the 1944 deportation of the Crimean Tatars.[2][3] Because de jure they were not allowed to return to their Crimea homeland, some Tatars settled in nearby places, including Henichesk Raion.[2]
