Good late evening, my dear friends. When I want to share something, I always come to you… I just saw a very good and a very sad movie… Every year, on the 18-th of May, the Tatars of Crimea commemorate a very sad event – they mourn their ancestors who, during the 17-18-th of May 1944, were deported from the place they lived in Crimean Peninsula to Uzbekistan. The deportation was ordered by (whom else?) Joseph Stalin. A total of more than 230,000 people were deported. More than 100,000 died from starvation or disease as a direct result of deportation. NKVD (later known as KGB) troops participated in this action. These are pictures from the movie “Haytarma” (Return), directed by a young and very talented Tatar director and actor Akhtem Seytabla, and shot in Crimea, Ukraine. Tomorrow, on the 18-th of May, for the first time during 1991, when Ukraine became independent, Crimean Tatars were not allowed to mourn their beloved ones, those, who perished during the times of that deportation. Crimea is an occupied territory now, it is under Russian occupation, and Putin didn’t allow the indigenous people of Crimea to mourn their dead. Mr. Putin said on many an occasion that Russia inherited to the USSR. I don’t doubt, Mr. Putin… It shows, it shows now and it can be seen by the whole world. You don’t have to prove it more…
