History
The Alnashsky District was established July 15, 1929, from 15 village Soviets (Selsoviets, or village councils) of the Alnashskaya volost and the Bolshekib'inskaya volost of the Mozhginsky Uezd. At the time in the structure of the district there were included Azamatovsky, Alnashsky, Asanovsky, Bayteryakovsky, Bolshekib'insky, Varzi-Yatchinsky, Voznesensky, Gondyrevsky, Ivanovsky, Kadikovsky, Kucherenovsky, Muvazhinsky, Piseevsky, Staroutchansky, Tutashevsky, Udmurt-Toymobashsky and Chemoshur-Kuyuksky village Soviets. In 1932, in the structure of the district from Tatarstan the Staroyum'insky village Soviet was additionally passed.[12] In 1937 during the formation of the Pychassky District some village Soviets of the Alnashsky District were passed into its composition. In 1954, there was the consolidation of village Soviets, their number reduced to 10. In 1963, the district was abolished and its territory became a part of the Mozhginsky District, but in 1965 the Alnashsky District was restored.[13]
The modern structure of the district was formed as a result of the municipal reform in 2006. At the moment, the district consists of 12 rural settlements.
Population: 20,403 (2010 Census);[4] 22,258 (2002 Census);[15]21,931 (1989 Soviet census).[16] The population of Alnashi accounts for 30.9% of the district's total population.[4] The average population density - 22.77 pers. / km2. The district occupies the 11th place in population and 4th place in density among the municipal districts of Udmurtia. On January 1, 2013, from 81 Inhabited localities of the district 7 had no permanent population.[17]
In 2011, the birth rate was 18,3 ‰, mortality rate - 15,4 ‰, the natural population growth - 2,9 ‰. The population of the district continues to decline due to migration loss (the difference between the number of departures and arrivals on the territory of the district), in 2011 the migration population loss amounted to 511 people.[10] The total number of pensioners in the district is 5440 persons, youth from 18 to 29 years - 5490 persons, voters - 15900 persons.[18]
Of the Jews of Udmurtia, practically all resided in the Alnashsky Raion.[23][24][25][26] They spoke Udmurtish, which is a dialect of Yiddish (it was very common for Yiddish to adopt characteristics of the local language which is why so many dialects exist), but they also spoke Russian, Tatar, and/or Udmurt.[24][27][28][29] The Ashkenazi Jews in the Alnashsky District first appeared in the early 20th century (in the 1910s and 1920s), in addition to Subbotniks (ethnic Russians who were Jewish by religion) who periodically came on vacation or work.[24][27] In the 1940–1960s, the max amount of Jews was 25-35 people, owing to five to seven Ashkenazi Jewish families: the Weissbergs, Maltsevs, and Kuznetsovs from the village (село) of Alnashi; the Abramovs from the village (деревня) of Garga; and the Schlossers from the village (selo) of Varzi-Yatchi.[30][24][27][31] The Alnashsky District's Jewry celebrated all Jewish holydays except for Tu Bishvat. The most revered feasts were Passover (Pesach), Simchat Torah (Simches To(y)reh), Yom Kippur (Yom Kipper), Hanukkah and
Purim.[24][27] The Udmurts of the district often mistook the Jews for Russians, but sometimes for RussifiedGermans or Udmurts.[32] By the 1980s, nearly all of the Alnashsky Jews had practically left the Soviet Union, but as a result of inter-ethnic members of ethnic Udmurts and ethnic Jewish families, 'a few Jews still lived in the district;' these families included the Rogovers, Ivanovs, and a few others.[24][29]
