It's a good article, although an old one. Can you write something about the situation in Crimea now, when it's occupied by Russian military forces and used for attacks on the Ukrainian mainland?

I heard that Crimean Tatars are not only fighting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the Russian invaders, but they have also organized an effective partisan movement inside Crimea, bombing warehouses with ammunition and stuff.

Thank you for the good review of the article. As for the situation in the occupied Crimea, after the entry of the Russian army, a harsh punitive regime was established against the Tatar population, whose leaders were either arrested, or left their homeland, or disappeared (killed).

Very informative article and very close to the reality and situations of current ERA. ٰ
I appreciate the wisdom and prediction of the writer who wrote this article in 2006.
But I wonder what the case is in Crimea nowadays as it's not much known in the media either.


The thing about the media is that the info can be biased there towards one side or another. I suggest you to read this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea

on Crimea in general. And here's the very first sentence in it(for those who don't have time to go by the link:

 "Crimea is a peninsula in Ukraine, on the northern coast of the Black Sea, that has been occupied by Russia since 2014."

and this article on the Russian occupation of Crimea, in particular:
