The Crimean Tatar community is an ethnic group native to the Crimean Peninsula, with a distinct language and culture. Historically, they have faced significant challenges, including forced deportation by the Soviet government in 1944, which led to a dramatic decline in their population in Crimea. In recent years, the community has sought to reclaim their rights and cultural heritage, especially after the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014. The Crimean Tatars continue to advocate for their rights and the preservation of their identity, often facing political and social challenges in the region.
