82 years ago, on May 18, 1944, #Russian special forces deported #Crimean_Tatars from their homes by force, without warning. Families were given just minutes to pack. At least 200,000 people (most of them women, children and the elderly) were taken by cattle trains to #Central_Asia and #Siberia. Their homes in #Crimea were taken by #Russians arriving in the peninsula.
