21.05 is a memorial of #Circassian genocide victims committed by russian empire in XIX century.
Modern #russia classifies this as "mass migration", not recognizing the genocide. In fact, only 2 countries in the world have recognized this as #genocide. Guess which.

Now the territory is known as Sochi

The 2 countries that recognised #Circassian genocide are #Sakartvelo (aka Georgia) in 2011 and #Ukraine in 2025.
