The Expulsion and Return of the Crimean Tartars

May 18 marks the 70th anniversary of the day when Stalin had the entire Crimean Tartar nation put on trains and deported from Crimea, chiefly to Central Asia. We will recall the anniversary with the screening of the film Vyhnání a návrat krymských Tatarů (The Expulsion and Return of the Crimean Tartars) (30 min); it will be followed by a discussion on the past and present of Crimea and Ukraine with the film’s writer, journalist Petruška Šustrová and documentarist Krystyna Krauze (director of Tatarské touhy, Wishes of Tartars).
