Deportation of the Crimean Tatars (1944)
On the Stalin’s Soviet Union map as “The Sürgün”
18–20 May 1944 — In three days the NKVD deported the Crimean Tatars, about 191,000 people, mostly to Uzbekistan. Estimates of the share who died in the first years range from about a fifth in NKVD records to almost half in Crimean Tatar surveys. They could not go home until 1989.
