‘“The Russians like to label everything Russian as Slavic, so that later they can label everything Slavic as “Russian,” the great Czech writer Karl Havlíček declared in 1844, trying to warn his compatriots against their silly and ignorant enthusiasm for Russia.’ Milan Kundera

In just 2 centuries russians wiped out almost all Crimean Tatars from Crimea along with other nations inhabiting the peninsula. This is your reminder that we must return Crimea at any cost, it has never been russian. Never forgive, never forget!

We don’t like the (inherently neutral) word “Slavic” because russians use to this to generalize big group of people under one culture AND then implicitly say “russian = slavic thus slavic = russian” & that’s how people start using it interchangeably, erasing independent cultures

To all the russians saying, “Go back to Mongolia”: as a Crimean Tatar, I have 0% Mongolian DNA. It means that my ancestors lived in Crimea before the Mongol invasion. It contradicts the russian historiography that claims Crimean Tatars arrived in Crimea with the Mongols.

One of the Kremlin’s most effective disinformation campaigns has been the historically illiterate claim that Crimea was “always Russian.” In reality, Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula has a recorded history stretching back 2,500 years and Russia only features in the final 10%

I'd argue it's on par withRussia's baseless claim that Kyiv-Rus is THEIR legacy. They want what is not theirs and have zero moral qualms stealing the history of others to justify their brutality, imperialism, wars, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

Muscovy stole the name “Rus’” from Kyivan Rus’ and tried to steal Kyivan/Ukrainian history, too. For russia to BE, for russia to GO ON, it desperately needs the BIG LIE to become true. So russia lashes out. It tries and tries again to erase Ukraine 🇺🇦 from the map. 5/10

Lia Ğazı Qızı 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺 The world owes you an apology Your people will never forget the world stood aside and failed you. In time, hopefully you may forgive us. We owe it to Crimea and ourselves to educate ourselves about the long and painful history. Let's start by returning Crimea to it's people

Ban on calling yourself a Crimean Tatar. Ban on returning to Crimea. Ban on using the Crimean Tatar language. Ban on practicing the Crimean Tatar traditions and culture. ruzzians tried to destroy us, but we stand resilient. We are Crimean Tatars, the indigenous people of Crimea
