The Crimean Tatar people's steadfast struggle against Muscovite barbaric imperialism over the past century is astonishing. It is a testament to their people's bravery and willpower. I hope they be free again very soon !! ps A current Ukrainian minister of Defense, Rustem Umerov, is of Crimean Tatar origin. in 2016, Jamala, a Ukrainian singer of Crimean Tartar descent won the Eurovision Song Contest with a song about her great grandmother's experience during the 1944 genocide
The Crimean Tatars speak a Kipchak Turkic language that partially originates from Cuman yet is highly mutually intelligible with Oghuz Turkic languages like Turkish & Azerbaijani
Kipchak was a Common or Oghuz Turkic language, although for 700 years before the Cuman conquest, Oghur Turks lived in Crimea alongside Greeks, Slavs, Goths, and Alans. It is my understanding that the Tat Karay language kept more of this heritage than Nogai.

Yeah it was a political song that went against the rules of the contest but EBU wanted to make a statement against Russia so they allowed it to be sung. It never should have won.
@@egertroos-qh7hw Tatars are a mix of Cuman-Kipchaks and Tatars that arrived with Mongol empire. Cuman-Kipchaks defeated Pechenegs around 1000 AD and settled in east ukraine, crimea. Tatars came in 1250s with Mongol conquest. Crimean tatars as said in video - comprised of more than 20 different groups before national identity developed. It included remnants of Huns, Bulgars, Pechenegs, Cumans, Pechenegs, Tatars - all Turkic groups from 400 AD to 1774 AD. Before that were Scythians and Goths driven out by Huns from ukraine in 400 AD.

Imagine coming back from surviving WW2 fighting for Russia against the Nazis only to find your family was forcefully relocated right before you made it back. And then being arrested yourself. Talk about injustice.
Yeah, imagine coming back from surviving WW2 fighting for Russia against the Nazis to find out whole your family was evaporated by Crimean Tatars collaborators, and they keep living there like nothing has happened. The majority of Crimean Tatars were Nazis collaborators and deserters.
@@son_of_alandalus Erich von Manstein - nzis general that seized and occupied Crimea in 1942. His own memories "Lost Victories" (translation from Russian): The success of this assistance, as well as respect for the religious customs of the Tatars on our part, led to the fact that the majority of the Crimean Tatar population was very friendly towards us. We even managed to form armed self-defense companies from the Tatars, the task of which was to protect our villages from the attacked partisans hiding in the mountains of Yaila. The reason that a powerful partisan movement developed in Crimea from the very beginning, which caused us a lot of trouble, was that among the population of Crimea, in addition to Tatars and other small national groups, there were still many Russians.
A bit sad the amazing woman known as Şefiqa Gaspıralı was not talked about as an exemple of the great intellectual movement that was happening in Crimean circles. She even founded a whole magazine that was supportive of women's rights at a time and place that would have been unprecedented. Sadly, she had to leave following the Soviet conquest, twice saving herself from death. She spent the rest of her life in Turkey to support her Crimean nation in exile.
The Crimean Tatar people's steadfast struggle for self-determination over the past century is astonishing. It is a testament to their people's bravery and willpower. I hope they can once again find peace in their homeland in the near future.
I agree with you, here. Just kind of ironic that the descendants of the mongols who oppressed the Russians are now oppressed by the Russians. Not saying either is right. History is just weird like that.
Great video as usual, David. I implore you to reduce or eliminate the music track. It's distracting (especially to we professional musicians!) and definitely detracts from your superb presentation style. BTW, those Cossacks around 6:00 look like some tough characters!
I fear as a channel grows at some point they hire a "sound person" who often appears to feel the need to justify their existence. For those of us with difficulty hearing it makes fantastic work such as this barely watchable 😢
I am tired so I read this the thumbnail as "German Taters". Thought it was a bit broad for a cooking video but I guess since I clicked I was here for it. Crimean Tatars are cool to though I guess.
The Crimean Tartans staged a protest at the Kremlin in 87(I recall) and it was the first anti-State protest at the heart of the USSR for many decades. It marked the beginning of the demise of the USSR.
It certainly did not mark the end of the USSR, but these bold moves are like a signalling of what was to come. The authoritarian and censorship-enforced rule began to crack after Andropov and broke down during the times of Gorbachev. It was the hypernormalisation of lies, authoritarianism, and censorship which eased the tension bundling up upon the Soviets because of their erroneous mishaps. With perestroika however, it came freedom, and all of that barely held tensions of past Soviet mishaps suddenly compounded on the nation itself so much that the USSR couldn't handle. That's what ultimately led to its demise. Freedom, transparency, and liberal democracy were not part of their doctrine, so, when those were slowly being instituted by the twilight years of the Soviet regime, that former government started to break down.... that's what dissolved it in the end...
Please make a detailed video/documentary on Chinese Civil War, especially that of Postwar including battles, strategies and political scenario during 1945/46-1949. Your Century of Humiliation was amazing, that kind of a video on Chinese Civil War would be awesome. ❤ Those who agree please 👍🏼
You have to specify Crimean Tatar. Despite their being Siberian Tatars, Mishar Tatars, Kazan Tatars and etc, Russians just gave Turkic people the name Tatar even though they aren’t even directly the same people . They are Turkic but not the same Turkic.
The Russians are occupiers in the territory that is now called Russia. they have no land here. The Russian came to our territory as a German in 1941. they are occupiers, that’s why they use all this torture to intimidate the indigenous peoples
Hats off to you all for this episode. I cant even imagine how much time it took you to research this all and make a highly educative video about the topic. The quality of the video is just amazing. Amazing job lads. Keep it up i love your videos and cant wait for more.
@nodrui8681 who historically owns the Lands that are now called Russia: these are Tatars, descendants: KHAZAR BULGARI KUMAN KIMAK BURTASOV TATARS TARTAR from Crimea to Western Siberia, from Astrakhan Әstәrkhan to Idel (Volga region), Kazan !!! These are the Turkic peoples. This is from the people of the Caucasus - the Caucasus. These are the Finno-Ugric peoples: “throughout the entire ridge of Scandinavia, the Land of Inkerinmaa (Petersburg), Maskava - with swamp, mud (Muscovy), Suzdal, Kostoroma, Vologda, the Finnish ethnic group lived.” The Russians do not have any lands on the territory of Russia, they are an occupier

Thank you for this. What about the Tatars who live within the Russian Federation and are their second largest nationality? TH-camr Eli from Russia is a fascinating example of this nation.
They share the name "Tatar" but are a different ethnicity with different languages which have different close relatives. For Crimean Tatars to stress this difference is very important since as the video says it was used to argue they were Tatars formerly living in Crimea rather than explicitly Crimean Tatars
Don't fall for her ethnic appeal, she doesn't deserve that. There are ~180 ethnicities and mixes of them in Russia, most long since russified. With some exceptions, they have lost their identities, despite some acknowledging the roots. If you call yourself Russian, you're Russian (there are two words for it though). If you support Kremlin's regime, you are against your roots. Eli, whatever she calls herself, are a literal Kremlin's soft propagandist, given official go-ahead by FSB and exclusive access to Russian army. Her job is to promote "russkij mir" and fish for western useful-fools, normalising all actions of her regime. There are many like her on this and all platforms. The only astonishing thing about her is that she's a girl (rarity) and the efficiency and scale of Kremlin's softest covert psyops.
Noooo.. not the Kremlin-aprooved soft propagandist given exclusive access to Russian army and justifying her regime! She's an informational honeytrap for western useful-fools. The more detaled explanation was deleted again.
She is from the Volga Tatars. There are also Siberian Tatars. All Tatar groups have a more or less similar culture - horse breeding, clothing, language and some cuisine. But all Tatar groups have different ethnic origins.
There were some non-Muslim Tatars including Christians and Jews, when the Russians took over. In fact, there were two Jewish communities. The first were Krymchaks , Crimean Rabbinic Jews, many of whom intermarried with other Russian Jews. The second are Karaylar, Karaite Jews. In fact, Karaylar leaders presented themselves as Tatars following the Mosaic faith to escape Czarist anti-semitic laws. The 20th century would be unkind to both. When the Nazis invaded, The Muslim Tatars protected the Karaylar in Crimea. The Faustian bargain was that the Karaylar could not protect the Krymchaks, most of whom were murdered in the Holocaust. None of this mattered to Stalin and his thugs as both groups groups would be subjected to the genocidal ethnic cleansing of 1944. Survivors of the Holocaust would then spend decades treated like Nazi collaborators.
Thanks a million for this fascinating episode. By the way, I am not sure that Koreans, massively deported in 1937, as far as I remember, were allowed to return to their home region after Stalin's death. I may be wrong. Could you confirm it?
@@petergray2712, thank you for the confirmation. There is, therefore, a small flaw in the video about the nationalities that could not return to their regions of origin, as it seemed to me.
@samkugatano1053 The Koreans were overlooked because their expulsion occurred outside of the Second World War. Khruschev rehabilitated the other affected groups in large part because they had participated bravely in the defense of the USSR against the Germans, and Stalin had misrepresented their loyalty for purely spiteful reasons in order to deport them. The Koreans never participated in any such defense, and thus, there was no lobby in the Soviet military he had to placate by restoring their rights. In addition to the Koreans and Volga Germans, Stalin expelled the Meshketi Turks from their lands in his homeland of Georgia (and neighboring Armenia), and these three groups were exempted or prevented by the USSR and it's successors from reclaiming their homes and property.
@@petergray2712 Yes, indeed, the case of the Meshketi Turks has always caught my attention. Unlike the other peoples deported in 1944-45, they did not live in any (however briefly) German-occupied area. Apparently, following your reasoning, they were not strong enough to lobby to return to their lands when others were able to do so. Or the situation in Georgia was considered too conflictual to allow them to return.
Thank you for yet another educational episode. I have heard of the Crimean Tatars, but I knew very little about them before listening to this. Thank you for teaching me a little! God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)

@@againstviralmisinformation510most of the soldiers and colonists occupying Crimea even today are Russians.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also they were in the line for the ottoman throne if ottoman empire had no heirs and that nearly happened in the reign of Murad 4th
Yeah the Girays made Moscow sweat for a few centuries. In the ottoman empire they were considered the "second family". If the Osmanlis died out, it was agreed the girays would succeed. Genghiz was that impactful
An yes, the only catastrophe to have inspired a Eurovision winner. The whole relationship failed from the start, not a surprise they are so disloyal to Russia.
One thing I know for sure. The Tatar life is never gonna get better if Russia gets to keep Crimea. Ukraine's not perfect but by god they're at least basically human
One thing is for sure without going to Crimea and seeing someone travel to Crimea you can’t make that conclusion without asking the Crimean Tatar people themselves. Crimean Tatar and Slav relations are really good right now.
@@againstviralmisinformation510 Sure, that's why Medjilis (Crimean tatar representative political entity) is considered as *terorist* organization in Russia.
My family belongs to Argyn sub-ethnic group of Kazakhs that tracks its origin to the Golden Horde. Crimean Tatars also have Argyn sub-ethnic group relative to Kazakh Argyns.

I actually met a couple here in Florida who were Russian immigrants to the US and the wife was a Tatar. She was telling me how her family was from Crimea and her grandparents were deported after her grandfather fought in WW2 in the Soviet army against the Germans. It was a betrayal that they weren’t allowed to talk about and later her family relocated to a part of Russia near Crimea but never made it to Crimea. Either way she married a Russian man and they immigrated here to the US which considering all the crap going on between Russia and Ukraine and Crimea was a great choice…
As a Crimean Tatar who was born and raised in Türkiye, I salute all my brothers and sisters all over the world. Someday,all of us return to our homeland)
Homie the tatars rolled in from central Asian steppe and they wiped out who was there before them, kinda like how the americans took out all native americans
No we are the grandchildren of all the people who lived here, united by a common Turkic language and Islamic religion. There are three separate "Tatar" groups in Crimea nogay tat yalıboyu The greatest peoples that make up our people are the Scythians, Greeks and Huns. We were accepted as the indigenous people of Crimea by Ukraine. Wikipedia says we are "natives" of Crimea.
The concept of nationalism generally seems to have caused much suffering, small nations struggling for self determination they would otherwise not co sider important and large ones ddeciding it is nessrceery to opress those in their power not similar enough to themselves.
But it's reality for centuries now. And we have international law, and legal concepts of human rights. Only certain nations choose to blatantly disregard all these things and pretend it's still the 19th century (Russia, for example)

@Dest-i_Qipcaq Uttermost respect to Tatar nation, especially from Crimea. I've seen some of the horrors how russian agents and military treated your people since 2014 who weren't thrilled about annexation. History repeating with some new methods. A weird idea came to me: if after Kremlin's bloody regime falls, war stops in a favourable way (but not in a complete Ukrainian victory) and there is still any non-violent dispute about Crimea, i think as a geopolitical 4D chess, it could be your people who could take it over from rashists. Meaning if AFU with loyal locals can expel Kremlin-loyal influx Russia installed there, you could take leading role in the new governance. Eventually, after most of those who fled after 2014 return to their homes, make a well-monitored, legal referendum on Crimea's status, without option to join Russia. Might be far-fetched, but options could be from fully accepting centralised governance from Kyiv, partial autonomy, state autonomy (like states in UK or US), etc. i Idk about Tatar republic, as i don't know how much of you there are to make a new country. This might be unnecessary (in any case, Ukraine after war should be united at least politically), but it would be a win for democracy, mocking all autoritarian fake "referendum" bs for the future. Just a thought. Разом до перемоги🔱
For those wondering why the Russians seemed so brutal or imperialistic towards the tatars, i recommend researching the history just prior to that featured in the video. Tatars, among others, held their last slave raid on Slavic Christians in the late 1790's which captured an estimated 20,000 people in just that single raid. These things don't happen in a vacuum, its a back and forth pendulum of subjugation.
The Russians held their own people as slaves into the 1800’s. And by the 1900’s that’s all history that no one alive had any part in. Find something better to do with your life than defend genocide.
2 Jewish & 1 German agricultural regions were supported & existed till 1941; Birobijan became a project for after the WW2. Jews returning to Crimea after the WW2 were encouraged to move to Birobijan then, not before WW2... This video is full of inaccuracies that change the history drastically...
Sadly, nothing about the Crimea Goths, who were still there in the 1800s, left behind from the great tribal migration to destroy the Roman Empire millennia before.....
The title is a clickbait. That's not the "history of Crimean Tatars", it's the "history of the Crimean Tatar-Russian relations after the end of the Khanate". It's very beautiful to ignore the colossal crimes ,slave raids and trade made by the Tatars against the Christian people of the area and detouch them from their history painting them as eternal victims of the bad Russians or Ukrainians.
@@monkofdarktimes national evolution through new peoples coming and fusing with the locals is nothing new, the peoples before the Magyar arrived in Hungary were and are still there, modern hungarian culture is a fusion of both. Same thing with France and the fusion of the Gauls that were there and the Franks gave us, with many further addings, modern French culture. The way it is presented is like poof, what came before and the people with it just disappeared, there's no "replacement". It's not a Beothuk situation.
@@Game_Hero Crimean Greeks fled Crimea to Russian Mariupol due to genocide committed against them by Crimean Tatars. That is literally a historical fact.
@@ВосточныйСлавянин I was talking about the Crimean goths. Your story about the Crimean Greeks seem to ignore the very existence of the Urum people, which makes it less dualistic that one make it seem. There were tensions, but nothing documented from what I found telling of unaliving whole communities when they were the wealthiest subjects of the Crimean Khan whose taxes consequently made him very rich, he had all his interest in making sure they stayed. Catherine did a heavy propaganda campaign to strip the already vassilized khanate of its political power by removing its economical power by wooing christian communities in Crimea to move to southern Ukraine, like in Mariupol or Donetsk. This is literally a historical fact.
The Russia/Soviet empire was along with British and French empires 1 of the worst empires in the history of humanity. These 3 empires are responsible for most of the crises in the world today. The sad thing is that they are still in denial, and for the Russia/Soviet empire, they are trying to go back to the old time and forget about all the issues they created in the past.
why do people keep forgetting that the Tatars had been raiding Slavic Russian territories and taking slaves for centuries just as the North Africans had been raiding European coasts and French coasts taking slaves for centuries also. but no they want to cry about how evil the European empires were because Russia decided to conquer Crimea and put an end to the enslavement of their people the same way France conquered North Africa to put an end to the constant raiding and enslavement of their people. hypocrites.
You literally skipped the part where the Crimean Tatars enslaved millions of Slavs and sold them to the Ottomans. The word slave comes from the word Slavs since they were used as slaves by Crimean Tatars
At that time anyone could be a slave, it was common. Yes, both parties did bad things to each other, but tatars, unlike Russians didn't do it under the flag of civilization.
@@serhansali we can’t include all Tatars under what the crimes the Crimean Tatars did but yes the Crimean Tatars were responsible for enslaving million in eastern Europe one of the biggest atrocities at the time.
@@GagaRinsky-lg5fw Ok, why would you be proud of Russia? The country that did everything it could in the past three hundred years up to this day to erase your identity and making your nation a minority in its own homeland?
I sympathize with the fact that this video is intended to advocate for the rights of crimean tatars today, but it is quite dishonest to skip the hundreds of years of history when the primary economic activity of the crimean tatars was conducting massive slave raids throughout Eastern Europe & transporting millions of victims to be sold at the Ottoman slave markets, ignoring this part of crimean history is similar to making a video on US history that skips the Atlantic slave trade.
Not relevant to the Cold War, which, if you didn't pay attention, is the focus and name of the channel. Nothing which a Tatar did 500 or 1000 years ago to someone who may or may not have been from a place which eventually became part of Russia in any way explains or justifies Russian abuse of the Tatars in the 1940s, 50s or today in 2024.
@@Game_Hero How consequences that follow malicious behavior can be pointed to "whataboutism". Do liberal clowns think that whataboutism is a silver bullet argument?
Both had done bad things, but Russians made it under the flag of civilization, also, tatars didn't want Russian culture and people to disappear and claim their land.
"Kiev regime" says a lot about your opinions. A "regime" that many Crimean Tatars look to to increase their rights and efforts at cultural revitalization as it happened in Ukraine before the conquest of Russia trying now to erase them entirely as they always did.

I am 1/4 Crimean ancestry, migrated to Turkey late 1800s. For my brothers and sisters who live under Russian/Ukranian rule, there will never be peace for you - but you are always welcome across the sea. We got problems of our own, but what we do have is yours as well. Regarding Russian annexation of Crimea, there are a lot of propaganda and this video is sadly one sided. I do not blame you guys, since this is a commercial activity and propaganda is just good for business. I will merely say that I have a friend that returned to Crimea after Russian annexation and it is much better now for Tatars. As a final note, in Turkish, the word Tatar is never added define the Crimean. It is Crimean/Kırımlı/Qırımlı, in recognition of our homelands.
Better for Crimean tatars? When Mejilis is recognized as terrorist organization in Russia? And in 2014 tatars with Ukrainians protested in favor of Maidan?
How is it better? You know that Russians literally put Crimean Tatars in prison just for raising Crimean Tatars flag right? There's a reason why Ukraine has entire Crimean Tatars brigade fighting against Russian

Why is it that when crimean tatars return to their homeland, its acceptable but when jews return to their homeland, they are called occupiers, invaders and settlers? Is the right of return only for non jews?
Because one thing hapend in one hundred years in modern history , people have living memories or family members who were born there. And yews were expelled from levant by romans before 2000 years. It is like if some irish guys try to reconquer France on the basis that 2000 years ago France was Celtic
Because Israel forced 1.2 million Muslims and Christians to flee, 2/3s of the population of Palestine in 1948. That literally gave away what little of Palestine was left for the Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, who didn't want that land or the people forced out. Then in 1967 Israeli occupied that land. They also call any Palestinian "Arab" to deny they have any rights to the land. And that's not counting all of the illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Because no matter how little of what was Palestine is left, they want that too.
@@kulrul9180 Irish people are gaelic celts and Natives of France were Gaulish Celts. It's like saying China has a Right over Tibet just because both are members of sino-tibetan family. Do you hear yourself? And what is your solution then? To keep persecuting Jews and leave them without a homeland, when in fact it exists and is waiting for the rightful owners to comeback? Is it their fault that they were compelled to leave their homeland, the land of their ancestors or romans'? And initially they purchased the land legally from the muslim bedouins. But then, everyone likes targeting the weak, don't they? And by your same logic, before the crimean tatars, the bulgars and kievan rus ruled Crimea so technically it's their homeland so what happened with tatars isn't wrong as Russians, rightful descendants of the Rus' took the lands of their ancestors back.
@kulrul9180 Your logic in context of time (or generations) is sound. However, Hebrew diaspora never completely left levant, even afyer being conquered and mostly exiled by a row of different empires. They lived togeather with berbers, Arabs and colonisers during all of these 2000 years, even if in minority for some time. So after their descendants were opressed, expelled and partly exterminated in Europe, it seemed like a good idea to get their ancient land back from British empire at the time. So wether you agree or not, there are logical reasons for resettlement: which have more weight if a nation have no land of its own anymore in a modern age and don't take it by forveful conquest. Same would apply if Ukraine agreed to give Crimean Tatars some autonomy in Crimea (which de-facto had signs of it before annexation), but wouldn't apply if a larger nation wanted to resettle its citizens on other annexed territory like Russians do in Ukraine. Not anymore.
@@dannydetonator Here's the thing. When Israel declared independence, no one but Jews could be citizens. It didn't matter if their ancestors were there for a few decades or had been there over 2000 years. That and some of those "decedents" weren't. They were locals who had converted over the centuries, because even before the Romans deported Jews, Judaism had expanded far beyond what is now Israel. They get citizenship no questions asked. Yet those who picked the "wrong" religion sometime since then? Nope! They just called them "Arabs" denied any claim to the land. Now 30% of Israeli citizens are non-Jews, who became eligible in 1970 due to annexing more Palestinian land.

The Crimean Tatars speak a Kipchak Turkic language that partially originates from Cuman yet is highly mutually intelligible with Oghuz Turkic languages like Turkish & Azerbaijani
Well tatars came from Asia
Kipchak was a Common or Oghuz Turkic language, although for 700 years before the Cuman conquest, Oghur Turks lived in Crimea alongside Greeks, Slavs, Goths, and Alans. It is my understanding that the Tat Karay language kept more of this heritage than Nogai.

led to the fact that the majority of the Crimean Tatar population was very friendly towards us.
We even managed to form armed self-defense companies from the Tatars, the task of which was to protect
our villages from the attacked partisans hiding in the mountains of Yaila. The reason that a powerful partisan
movement developed in Crimea from the very beginning, which caused us a lot of trouble, was that among

Sadly, she had to leave following the Soviet conquest, twice saving herself from death. She spent the rest of her life in Turkey to support her Crimean nation in exile.

The Crimean Tartans staged a protest at the Kremlin in 87(I recall) and it was the first anti-State protest at the heart of the USSR for many decades. It marked the beginning of the demise of the USSR.
Didn't Kazakhstan had student protest in 83 which was the start of protest against ussr
It did not mark the beginning of the end. It was one symptom of it, that's all.
Based
Russian Jews held protests in the heart of Moscow as early as the very late 1960s.
It certainly did not mark the end of the USSR, but these bold moves are like a signalling of what was to come. The authoritarian and censorship-enforced rule began to crack after Andropov and broke down during the times of Gorbachev. It was the hypernormalisation of lies, authoritarianism, and censorship which eased the tension bundling up upon the Soviets because of their erroneous mishaps. With perestroika however, it came freedom, and all of that barely held tensions of past Soviet mishaps suddenly compounded on the nation itself so much that the USSR couldn't handle. That's what ultimately led to its demise. Freedom, transparency, and liberal democracy were not part of their doctrine, so, when those were slowly being instituted by the twilight years of the Soviet regime, that former government started to break down.... that's what dissolved it in the end...

They share the name "Tatar" but are a different ethnicity with different languages which have different close relatives.

@@9_9876Crimean tatars are imvaders in Crimea.
Don't fall for her ethnic appeal, she doesn't deserve that. There are ~180 ethnicities and mixes of them in Russia, most long since russified. With some exceptions, they have lost their identities, despite some acknowledging the roots. If you call yourself Russian, you're Russian (there are two words for it though). If you support Kremlin's regime, you are against your roots.
Eli, whatever she calls herself, are a literal Kremlin's soft propagandist, given official go-ahead by FSB and exclusive access to Russian army. Her job is to promote "russkij mir" and fish for western useful-fools, normalising all actions of her regime. There are many like her on this and all platforms. The only astonishing thing about her is that she's a girl (rarity) and the efficiency and scale of Kremlin's softest covert psyops.
Noooo.. not the Kremlin-aprooved soft propagandist given exclusive access to Russian army and justifying her regime! She's an informational honeytrap for western useful-fools. The more detaled explanation was deleted again.
She is from the Volga Tatars. There are also Siberian Tatars. All Tatar groups have a more or less similar culture - horse breeding, clothing, language and some cuisine. But all Tatar groups have different ethnic origins.
There were some non-Muslim Tatars including Christians and Jews, when the Russians took over. In fact, there were two Jewish communities. The first were Krymchaks , Crimean Rabbinic Jews, many of whom intermarried with other Russian Jews. The second are Karaylar, Karaite Jews. In fact, Karaylar leaders presented themselves as Tatars following the Mosaic faith to escape Czarist anti-semitic laws.
The 20th century would be unkind to both. When the Nazis invaded, The Muslim Tatars protected the Karaylar in Crimea. The Faustian bargain was that the Karaylar could not protect the Krymchaks, most of whom were murdered in the Holocaust. None of this mattered to Stalin and his thugs as both groups groups would be subjected to the genocidal ethnic cleansing of 1944. Survivors of the Holocaust would then spend decades treated like Nazi collaborators.

both Muslims and Jews were persecuted

Great episode!
Thanks a million for this fascinating episode. By the way, I am not sure that Koreans, massively deported in 1937, as far as I remember, were allowed to return to their home region after Stalin's death. I may be wrong. Could you confirm it?
I am also wondering about this.
They weren't. Their descendants still live in Central Asia to this day.
@@petergray2712, thank you for the confirmation. There is, therefore, a small flaw in the video about the nationalities that could not return to their regions of origin, as it seemed to me.
@samkugatano1053 The Koreans were overlooked because their expulsion occurred outside of the Second World War. Khruschev rehabilitated the other affected groups in large part because they had participated bravely in the defense of the USSR against the Germans, and Stalin had misrepresented their loyalty for purely spiteful reasons in order to deport them. The Koreans never participated in any such defense, and thus, there was no lobby in the Soviet military he had to placate by restoring their rights.
In addition to the Koreans and Volga Germans, Stalin expelled the Meshketi Turks from their lands in his homeland of Georgia (and neighboring Armenia), and these three groups were exempted or prevented by the USSR and it's successors from reclaiming their homes and property.
@@petergray2712 Yes, indeed, the case of the Meshketi Turks has always caught my attention. Unlike the other peoples deported in 1944-45, they did not live in any (however briefly) German-occupied area. Apparently, following your reasoning, they were not strong enough to lobby to return to their lands when others were able to do so. Or the situation in Georgia was considered too conflictual to allow them to return.

Uttermost respect to Tatar nation, especially from Crimea. I've seen some of the horrors how russian agents and military treated your people since 2014 who weren't thrilled about annexation. History repeating with some new methods.
A weird idea came to me: if after Kremlin's bloody regime falls, war stops in a favourable way (but not in a complete Ukrainian victory) and there is still any non-violent dispute about Crimea, i think as a geopolitical 4D chess, it could be your people who could take it over from rashists. Meaning if AFU with loyal locals can expel Kremlin-loyal influx Russia installed there, you could take leading role in the new governance. Eventually, after most of those who fled after 2014 return to their homes, make a well-monitored, legal referendum on Crimea's status, without option to join Russia. Might be far-fetched, but options could be from fully accepting centralised governance from Kyiv, partial autonomy, state autonomy (like states in UK or US), etc. i
Idk about Tatar republic, as i don't know how much of you there are to make a new country. This might be unnecessary (in any case, Ukraine after war should be united at least politically), but it would be a win for democracy, mocking all autoritarian fake "referendum" bs for the future. Just a thought.

nit? no. Illegal -yes

If we assume Crimea belongs to rest of Tatars it should be independent but somehow USA and UE support Kiev regime in path to retook it....
"Kiev regime" says a lot about your opinions. A "regime" that many Crimean Tatars look to to increase their rights and efforts at cultural revitalization as it happened in Ukraine before the conquest of Russia trying now to erase them entirely as they always did. Self-determination path starts with Ukraine.
@@Game_Hero Correct, my opinio is that in Kiev we have regime which beforae war behaves like nazis now west cuntries support it. They avoid election because thay do not want to allow Ukrainians to voto because decision of people could be different that they want. In the same time I think russia is also bad country which gives only death and chaos. Both regimes Kiev and Moscow are antypeople. But we cannot forget that USA, UE, UK, CHina and other countries just fueling conflict and noone cares abound peace and live. Both sides wants only win in name of "freedom", "democracy" and "keeping global order"
@@DGronki They can't have an election because they're in a freaking WAR. Russia absolutely doesn't even want to win in the name of freedom and democracy, it was nowhere in its rhetoric, it absolutely doesn't care, it wants the Neo-Russian Empire, while another try, I don't know, not to be CONQUERED by a neighbour. The allies could support the United Kingdom, China and the Soviet Union in WW2 because they asked and should have the right to get help when they're litterally at risk of being conquered, it's no different here. You want peace? How about making sure it happens and last by saying, I don't know, "Don't. conquer. other. countries. period", that's a way to punish those that by ego made the childish decision to invade their neighbours to get chunks of them when they could have decided not to, threatening global peace instead by breaking the taboo of territorial integrity. Relativism helps no one, peace least of all.

love to hear someone use the antiquated term "invalid" in tyool 2024
I am 1/4 Crimean ancestry, migrated to Turkey late 1800s. For my brothers and sisters who live under Russian/Ukranian rule, there will never be peace for you - but you are always welcome across the sea. We got problems of our own, but what we do have is yours as well.
Regarding Russian annexation of Crimea, there are a lot of propaganda and this video is sadly one sided. I do not blame you guys, since this is a commercial activity and propaganda is just good for business. I will merely say that I have a friend that returned to Crimea after Russian annexation and it is much better now for Tatars.
As a final note, in Turkish, the word Tatar is never added define the Crimean. It is Crimean/Kırımlı/Qırımlı, in recognition of our homelands.
Better for Crimean tatars? When Mejilis is recognized as terrorist organization in Russia? And in 2014 tatars with Ukrainians protested in favor of Maidan?
How is it better? You know that Russians literally put Crimean Tatars in prison just for raising Crimean Tatars flag right? There's a reason why Ukraine has entire Crimean Tatars brigade fighting against Russian
1/4 Crimean??Treating Russians and Crimeans well??? Read what happened to Reşat Amet. Just a few weeks ago, an innocent Crimean girl survived Russian persecution. Listen to what they say. Lenie Umerov
Forced Collectivization came in early 1930s not 1920 like stated here
Why is it that when crimean tatars return to their homeland, its acceptable but when jews return to their homeland, they are called occupiers, invaders and settlers? Is the right of return only for non jews?
Because one thing hapend in one hundred years in modern history , people have living memories or family members who were born there. And yews were expelled from levant by romans before 2000 years. It is like if some irish guys try to reconquer France on the basis that 2000 years ago France was Celtic
Because Israel forced 1.2 million Muslims and Christians to flee, 2/3s of the population of Palestine in 1948. That literally gave away what little of Palestine was left for the Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, who didn't want that land or the people forced out. Then in 1967 Israeli occupied that land. They also call any Palestinian "Arab" to deny they have any rights to the land. And that's not counting all of the illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Because no matter how little of what was Palestine is left, they want that too.
@@kulrul9180 Irish people are gaelic celts and Natives of France were Gaulish Celts. It's like saying China has a Right over Tibet just because both are members of sino-tibetan family. Do you hear yourself? And what is your solution then? To keep persecuting Jews and leave them without a homeland, when in fact it exists and is waiting for the rightful owners to comeback? Is it their fault that they were compelled to leave their homeland, the land of their ancestors or romans'? And initially they purchased the land legally from the muslim bedouins. But then, everyone likes targeting the weak, don't they? And by your same logic, before the crimean tatars, the bulgars and kievan rus ruled Crimea so technically it's their homeland so what happened with tatars isn't wrong as Russians, rightful descendants of the Rus' took the lands of their ancestors back.
@kulrul9180
Your logic in context of time (or generations) is sound. However, Hebrew diaspora never completely left levant, even afyer being conquered and mostly exiled by a row of different empires. They lived togeather with berbers, Arabs and colonisers during all of these 2000 years, even if in minority for some time. So after their descendants were opressed, expelled and partly exterminated in Europe, it seemed like a good idea to get their ancient land back from British empire at the time. So wether you agree or not, there are logical reasons for resettlement: which have more weight if a nation have no land of its own anymore in a modern age and don't take it by forveful conquest. Same would apply if Ukraine agreed to give Crimean Tatars some autonomy in Crimea (which de-facto had signs of it before annexation), but wouldn't apply if a larger nation wanted to resettle its citizens on other annexed territory like Russians do in Ukraine. Not anymore.
@@dannydetonator Here's the thing. When Israel declared independence, no one but Jews could be citizens. It didn't matter if their ancestors were there for a few decades or had been there over 2000 years. That and some of those "decedents" weren't. They were locals who had converted over the centuries, because even before the Romans deported Jews, Judaism had expanded far beyond what is now Israel. They get citizenship no questions asked. Yet those who picked the "wrong" religion sometime since then? Nope! They just called them "Arabs" denied any claim to the land.
Now 30% of Israeli citizens are non-Jews, who became eligible in 1970 due to annexing more Palestinian land.
How many colonialist forces passed over Crimea ? They prosecutioned previous settlement before Golden hord Mongol , Ottoman Empire.... when the Ottoman Empire used the Crimean Tatar community as fifth columns against the Russian 🇷🇺 empire existed before WW1 and later years ....Russian competitors demanding Crimean separation for Crimean peninsulas important position ( ejection of the Russia 🇷🇺 from black sea and blocks 🚫 Azov sea against Russian nevagation) they do not love's Tatar community in Crimea.
Hey, what about american japonese in WWII?!
BTW, One of the most successful and productive minority group's in American population nowadays. What was in WWII was in WWII, know the main difference between civilized, developed nations and post-meta-ironic barbarians, that covering their ignorance by cynicism and "geopolitics", that the second ones are incapable of reflection, admitting their mistakes and correcting them.

Yea, it was a terrible crime and the American government has done nothing but apologize and pay out in response to that crime. What's your point? Has the modern Russian government taken any steps to make right with the Tatars?

Thank you for making a video about us. I hope the Russians do not OCCUPY the comments and make propaganda about we :) Azat Qırım🩵💛🇺🇦
No point in hoping that, because their bots are paid to target every video with truth about Russia or their neighbours. But this is by no means the worst comment section out there, just a few trolls remaining.
Meanwhile some of the guys arguing with these bots could do with a frank explanation of Crimea's and Tatar situation with Russia and Ukraine from a beatiful first source like you. Watch out for threads with a pfp like an orange hachapuri.
Utmost respect to Crimean Tatars, especially in resistance.
