Abstract

The development of the resort business of Crimea in the first years of the Soviet power, which was associated with attempts to create an exemplary proletarian health resort due to the total nationalization of the medical and recreational infrastructure and the dominance of the class approach in the centralized distribution of resort vouchers, was analyzed. But after the start of the new economic policy, a more flexible self-supporting model is gradually being introduced, approaches to the used formats of resort treatment and recreation are being democratized, and the social-class composition of recreationists is being eroded. As a result, in 1925, the Central Administration of Crimean Resorts was liquidated, which had previously been the main symbol of the resort revolution in the young Soviet state, although at the same time exemplary peasant (Livadia) and childrens (Artek) health resorts were being created that solve specific social problems.
