The Russian Empire started with a repressive regime that punished the slightest sign of independence on the part of the Crimean Tatars with brutal torture.

When the Soviets took power, they were even more brutal than the tsarist regime that went before them.

While the indigenous population was being eliminated in these ways, what happened to their homes and property?
You already know the answer to this question, don't you?
Yes, they were taken by Russians.

The conditions of the deportation were so brutal that EIGHTY THOUSAND people DIED in transit.

Those that arrived were made to engage in hard labor in harsh winter conditions.
FORTY THOUSAND more died in this way.

Eighty thousand homes in Crimea fell vacant, and three hundred and sixty thousand acres of land lay abandoned.

Thus, Russia almost completely WIPED OUT the Crimean Tatars in their native land.
This is the true history of ‘Russian’ Crimea.
There is actually no such thing.
