    I'm a Crimean Tatar. My grandmother never talked about the deportation. She didn't talk much at all. And never in Tatar. My parents and their siblings speak russian only. It's only with my generation that the rebirth of the unique Crimean Tatar language and culture began, which was brutally crushed by the russian annexation in 2014.

      It's even more so relevant today too.

She's living in exile abroad because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Russia originally tried to get 1944 removed from Eurovision because it was too political today.

    It is not forgotten. I am Kalmyk (Kalmyks are mongolic ethnic group historically based in the south of European Russia) and here in Kalmykia this is taught in schools and most elderly people never forgave the soviet government. There is also the national 'Day of Mourning' on the day when decree on the deportation was issued.
    In 1943 Kalmyks, as a whole ethnicity, were accused of treason and collaboration with nazis and scattered all across Siberia. Most of the deported were women, children and elderly people. Then, men were taken from the front, only to be sent to one of gulag's building projects. Don't forget that many of them didn't even know Russian and NKVD scared local people stiff with rumours about cannibals, savages and nazi collaborators. Kalmyks as all other deported peoples could not leave the place of their deportation under threat of 20 years in gulag. And even after Stalin's death, Kalmyks could not return to their homeland until 1956.
    Between thirty and fifty percents of all the deported died. Kalmyk language is now under the threat of extinction.

      I think what you are saying is true for ethnicities that were particularly mistreated during soviet times, and without a doubt, the chess players of the Union were no exception from these horrific crimes against the population. My grandmother where German and had to leave her historical homeland, but almost everyone she knew got killed so she very rarely talked about it, and I had to learn about this myself. It seems to me thought like Kalmykia is still mistreated I just hope that things become better for all different ethnic groups inside Russia and Ukraine.

    It's not forgotten, at least in Crimea it isn't. A lot of the newcomers, who moved to Crimea after WWII (which my family was a part of, my granparents moved there in 70-s) are still pretty unfriendly to say the least towards tatars, who have returned to their land. I myself always felt a bit of a disconnect, couldn't reaaly understand them, until very recently: I couldn't feel the connection with Crimean land like they do, because they have generations after generations of history there, while me is the first generation, who was born there in my family. That's why it was relatively easy for me to leave Crimea behind after 2014, and tatars are staying there despite everything

      It did not collapse. It was a negotiated mostly peaceful end the Russians saw that the Warsaw Pact and Republics like Baltics and Ukraine were not needed and cost more then they were worth. They were allowed freedom and independence and Germany was allowed reunification through negotiations like NATO's promise not to expand east and Ukraine's declaration of independence saying it would not become a member of any alliance and continue the same peaceful relationship with Russia.
      The Russian economy collapsed after that's a different story. As is the US Empire which is collapsing because they are making the mistake of trying to keep it thru violence.

      USSR was not worse than Germany, it was equally as bad. They had more time and more different ethnicities they wanted to exterminate.
      In Pre-war West Poland the Germans deported hundreds of thousands of Polish people to make room for Germans. They deported them a bit south and also as workers into Germany.
      Also the Germans murdered roughly 70k Germans who were in hospitals and insane asylums. So people who had demetia, epilepsy, schizophrenics, or other incurable mental or genetic defects. It was to promote efficiency. Those people didn't use ressources of the Reich any longer and they need the space for the wounded of the war. Brutal, but kind of logical.

      Simple answer is their state won the war, despite the collapse of the USSR it was many years after his death and so for many decades the winner gets to write history. Only after the collapse of the USSR does many details start to emerge and by then decades has passed, much of the horror got consigned to be footnotes in history books. Same as Winston Churchill knowingly and needlessly continue to export food from India as the country faces their worst famine in history, that played a big part for India's demand for independence after WW2. Also part of why British voted him out as Prime Minister after the war despite by all outward appearances he should have easily won the election by popularity and war hero status, British people does not want someone like that to govern them with the war over. But all those details get pushed to the side notes in history.

      It depends whom you ask. If you go to Eastern Europe then rest assured that Stalin will be held in the same contempt as Hitler as a bare minimum. Why that isn't the case in Western Europe or the USA is easy: we never had a hot war with Stalin. So the attention and focus shifts to Hitler because either you were (planned to be) occupied by the Nazi's (UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Denmark, etc), or you were basically their (direct) collaborator (Italy, Spain). People here just don't have direct experience with the Soviet Union while they do have experience with the nazi occupation and depending to which community you belong the Holocaust.
      In the end, history is always local. You care about what your locality has direct experience with because that is what is of influence. Europeans don't care about the regimes from Latin America or what the Japanese did. But the reverse is true too, many Asians have a lot to say about the Japanese occupation or colonial wars but regimes in Latin America are far removed from them, as is the Holocaust and Hitler.

      The symbolism and meaning of the hammer and sickle is a far cry from the horrific policies enacted by some dictators! It’s an idea, not an endorsement of genocide or even specific policies.
      The hammer and sickle themselves are the tools of the industrial workers and the peasant farmers, crossed together they represent solidarity between the two groups- essentially solidarity and cooperation among the poors and normies in order to attain power and better their lives. There’s a lot of little details and distinction between the faction, but the very broad idea is support for working people and the idea that the people who do the work and make the stuff shouldn’t be starving when they are making someone else million dollar bonuses.
      Please DO NOT conflate the actions of Stalin and Mao with the philosophy! They are _not_ related!

    Ingrian Finns were first deported from 1929. 1.8 million kulaks were deported in 1930-31. 1937 saw the forced transfer of all ethnic Koreans from the Far East.
    Then came the Second World War and a bloody spring cleaning of all distrusted minorities from the western regions, the Black Sea and the Caucasus. These included Poles, Volga Germans, Kola Norwegians, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Karelian Finns, Crimean Tatars, Crimean Greeks, Kalmyks, Balkars, Karachays, Meskhetian Turks, Kurds, Hemshins, Karapapaks, Chechens, Ingush, Romanians, Bulgarians, Armenians and Ukrainians. Other deportations included returning Soviet POWs, for whom Stalin reserved a deep suspicion. And let's not forget the dissidents, poets, enemies of the people, and religious minorities. Or those purged from the military and Communist Party officials who had fallen from grace and members of their families.

    Muazzez İlmiye Çığ (born 20 June 1914) archaeologist and Assyriologist who specializes in the study of Sumerian civilization; she born in Ottoman Empire and now she is 109 years old.
    Halil İnalcık (7 September 1916 - 25 July 2016) a highly influential research centered on social and economic approaches to the Ottoman Empire and between 1972 and 1986 he taught Ottoman history at the University of Chicago.
    İlber Ortaylı (21 May 1947) born in a refugee camp in Bregenz, Austria where his parents, Crimean Tatars, had fled to avoid Joseph Stalin's persecution. His family immigrated to Turkey when he was 2 years old. Ortayli is maternally a descendant of Crimean Tatar Mirza nobility. He is also very famous historian in Türkiye, everyone from age of 7 to 77 very well knows him.
    And there are many more scientists, historians, academicians, artists, musicians, actors and actresses, business person and politicians; there is a list on the wiki.
