Deportation of the Crimean Tatars (1944)
On the Stalin’s Soviet Union map as “The Sürgün”
18–20 May 1944 — Over three days, the NKVD deported about 191,000 Crimean Tatars, mostly to Uzbekistan. Accounts differ sharply on how many died in the first years: NKVD records put the share at about a fifth, while Crimean Tatar surveys put it at almost half. They could not return home until 1989.
