NARRATIVE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-Tatarization_of_Crimea

The de-Tatarization of Crimea (Crimean Tatar: Qırımnıñ tatarsızlaştırıluvı; Russian: Детатаризация Крыма, romanized: Detatarizatsiya Kryma; Ukrainian: Детатаризація Криму, romanized: Detataryzatsiya Krymu) refers to the Soviet and Russian efforts to remove traces of the indigenous Crimean Tatar presence from the peninsula. De-Tatarization has been manifested in various ways throughout history, ranging from the full-scale deportation and exile of Crimean Tatars in 1944 to other measures such as the burning of Crimean Tatar books published in the 1920s and toponym renaming.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_Tatar_diaspora

The Crimean Tatar diaspora dates back to the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 1783, after which Crimean Tatars emigrated in a series of waves spanning the period from 1783 to 1917. The diaspora was largely the result of the destruction of their social and economic life as a consequence of integration into the Russian Empire … The Soviet Union brought about the final dispersal of Crimean Tatars in 1944, in the midst of World War II, when it deported all Crimean Tatars remaining in the Crimea to the Central Asia and Urals. This population is considered an exiled community rather than a diaspora.

The Crimean campaign was conducted by the Axis as part of Operation Barbarossa during World War II. The invading force was led by Germany with support from Romania and Italy, while the Soviet Union took up defensive positions throughout the Crimean Peninsula. Both sides suffered heavy casualties over the course of the fighting as Axis troops pushed to break through the Isthmus of Perekop from Ukraine. The Axis offensive routed the Red Army and enabled the three-year-long German occupation of Crimea.

These indigenous people, who have been estimated to constitute 12 percent of the population of Crimea, have been among the most vocal critics of the occupation.
