79 years have passed since the beginning of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars

On May 18, 1944, a criminal operation began in the USSR to forcibly deport Crimean Tatars from their historical homeland to Central Asia. In the first years of deportation, from 20% to 46% of the settlers died from hunger and disease.

According to the National Movement of Crimean Tatars, about 200 thousand people were deported from Crimea, of which more than 86% were women and children. Most of the Crimean Tatars were sent to Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. In the first years of deportation, this people lost 46.2% of the total.

In 2015, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine recognized the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people as genocide.
