Karakurt ( Ukrainian Каракурт , Russian Каракурт , Albanian karakurt or Karakurti , Romanian Caracurt ) is a Budschak located village in the southwest of the Ukrainian Odessa with about 2700 inhabitants (2001).
history
Karakurt was founded in 1811 as the first settlement by Albanians from the Bulgarian Dobruja in the Bessarabia Governorate of the Russian Empire . After the Crimean War lost for Russia , the area around Cahul, Bolgrad and Ismail , in which Karakurt is also located, went to the Principality of Moldova in 1856, only to fall to Russia again after the next Russo-Ottoman War in 1878, until 1917. In the turmoil of the October Revolution , Russia lost Bessarabia , which declared itself the Democratic Republic of Moldova in 1917 and voluntarily joined the Kingdom of Romania in the same year . After the occupation of Bessarabia by the Soviet Union in 1940, Karakurt was in the Bolhrad district of Akkerman Oblast (from August 7, 1940, Ismajil Oblast ) in the Ukrainian SSR . At the beginning of the German-Soviet War , the village came back to Romania in 1941. After the Red Army had recaptured Bessarabia in 1944, the town, now renamed Shovtnewe ( Жовтневе ), was again in the Ukrainian Oblast Ismajil, which became part of the Odessa Oblast in 1954. In 1991 the village became part of the independent Ukraine. In 2016 the village got its original name back due to the decommunization in Ukraine .
Even today, Albanian is the preferred language spoken in Karakurt. In 2013, the inhabitants of the village consisted of about 60% Albanians , 25% Bulgarians , 10% Gagauz and 5% representatives of other ethnic groups.
