In this episode of the Bur’yan podcast, we want to focus on the events of the 2nd half of the XX century, such as the return of Crimean Tatars to Crimea, the emergence of the Crimean Tatar national movement, as well as the recent developments of the XXI century, such as the occupation of Crimea, and the repressions against Crimean Tatars in the occupied peninsula. We will also discuss the prospects for the decolonization of Crimea and possible actions by the international community that could affect the current situation of the Crimean Tatars.
