Crimean Tatar
-
Tens of thousands of Crimean Tatars were expelled from their homeland on May 18, 1944 by order of Joseph Stalin. Within 15 minutes, about 259,000 Crimean Tatars, mostly old people, women and children, were brought to the square and put on carts for transporting animals. Half of the Crimean Tatars deported in inhumane conditions died on the way before reaching their destination.
