Shabo ( Ukrainian and Russian Шабо , Romanian Șaba-Târg ) is a village south of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyj in Odessa Oblast in southwest Ukraine . The village belongs to the district council of the same name Schabo, which also includes the village of Bilenke ( Біленьке ) and the settlement of Prybereschne ( Прибережне ).

history

The name of the settlement goes back to the Turkish name Ascha Abag (literally "lower gardens", which means wine-growing areas below the fortress Akkerman ), whereby the contraction Schabag was later transformed by the Franco-Swiss settlers to Schabo , to become more French to sound.

The founding date is November 10, 1822. Under Tsar Alexander I , Swiss settlers immigrated from the canton of Vaud (German: Waadt ), who from then on mainly devoted themselves to viticulture.

Alexander's teacher Frédéric-César de la Harpe himself came from Vaud and persuaded the Tsar to allow Swiss emigrants to move to the newly conquered Russian territories as colonists.
At the end of 1820, Louis-Vincent Tardent was sent to Russia by the Swiss to explore the possibilities of settlement.

In 1871, however, the privileges of Swiss immigrants and other colonists were revoked. During the First World War 1917/1918, today's Odessa – Basarabeasca railway line was built southwest of the town , and Schabo has had a train station on this line ever since.
After the First World War , Schabo was renamed Romanian and Șaba-Târg, on June 28, 1940, the area was reintegrated into the Soviet Union by Stalin . After another Romanian interlude after the attack on the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941, Schabo finally became Russian or Soviet in 1944. In the course of the deportations and persecution of minorities ordered by Stalin, traces of the Swiss were lost in Schabo.

Today, Schabo can hardly be recognized as a grown settlement. Next to the company headquarters of the former state-owned wine producer Shabo, there are no village structures such as a church, village square, school or sports field, but only nameless streets and a Soviet war memorial that has meanwhile been provided with Christian symbols.

In 2008 the novel Les vignerons de la Mer Noire was published, in which the Swiss Annick Genton tells the story of the Swiss colonists.

Wine museum

In 2009, a wine museum, the Wine Cultural Center (Центр культуры вина ШАБО), which attracts 15,000 visitors a year, opened at the headquarters of the wine manufacturer Shabo, which was privatized after the collapse of the Soviet Union .
