KRUTYAN SHTETL IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH - BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The social and cultural history of Jews in Ukraine is reflected, in particular, in the self-organization of the Jewish community, and one of the manifestations of such self-organization is the shtetl - a Jewish town as a location for representatives of one religion, customs and ritual culture. At the same time, shtetls were not a closed space. It is also a territory of active intercultural communications, the study of which deepens the understanding of the Transnistrian regional and local historical reality at the town level in this context. The article examines the location of the little-known in literature shtetl of the town of Kruti, Baltsky district, in the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries, which arose in the 1820s at the crossroads of trade routes between the steppe and the forest-steppe, in the zone of the Ukrainian-Eastern Romance borderland. Based on the analysis of sources, the territory of the shtetl within the settlement is outlined and peculiarities of its structure, features of housing, and household facilities are highlighted.
