each case would have different repressions aimed towards them, even if they are in a similar vein of repression. An example of State repression in one case could be different from another case, but they could have a common area of impact, such as language policies. However, this does not explain multiple cases of repression of one ethnic minority under different States, as with my case study. Other literature, such as Saxton’s article testing Gurr’s Model of Ethnopolitical Rebellion, shows that the

Hundreds of Crimean Tatars launched a blockade of roads from Ukraine to the Crimean peninsula to protest Russia’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula. With help of the members of the Ukrainian ultra-nationalist Pravy Sektor group, the protesters used concrete blocks to partially seal off the three roads linking mainland Ukraine to Crimea in order to halt the delivery of goods. Tatar leaders said they were aiming to block supplies to protest the "numerous violations of their rights by Russian authorities"

In 1944, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic, USSR, invaded the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. Almost instantly, nearly all of the local the Crimean Tatars, Muslim Turkic people, were brutally murdered by the Red Army. Those who were not killed, were rounded up and deported to the brutal conditions of the Siberian forest. Over 40 percent of the Turkic people died enroute. Fast forward to modern day, Reshat Ametov, a Crimean Tatar, from the Simferopol region of Crimea, disappeared in March of 2014

Crimea: A Peninsula At The Crossroads In the president day, many people heard about the civil war in Ukraine and the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia. Until recent events, it is unlikely that many Americans knew what Ukraine or Crimea were, or even where they are on a map. Since 1954, Crimea was an autonomous republic that belonged to Ukraine. However, its history stretches centuries before Ukraine and Russia, and is interwoven with a variety of cultures and ethnic groups. While Vladimir

MPP 195. Term Paper—Conflict in Crimea Jiewen Zhao Introduction The Crimea Peninsula, located between Kherson of Ukraine and Kuban of Russia, is a major land mass almost completely surrounded by the Black Sea, providing it an extremely important geopolitical position in Eastern Europe. Because of its special geopolitical position, Crimea always has strategic significance to Russia. In history, Crimea was annexed to the Russian Empire in 1783 and, following the Russian Revolution of 1917, became a

In the spring of 2014, the political map of the world has changed. The peninsula of Crimea, which was part of Ukraine for about 60 years became part of the Russian Federation on March 14, 2014. Throughout the history, this is not the first time that the residents of this coast had to change their citizenship. The annexation of Crimea is - not an impromptu prepared by Russia the week before. And so the subjunctive "if only ..." here seems to be inappropriate. For Moscow, the peninsula has always had

however, 10 million Ukrainians died as a result of the Holodomor, an orchestrated famine by Joseph Stalin. This was not the only incident of oppression under Stalinist rule; in 1944, Stalin deported over 230,000 Crimean Tatars and sent them to Siberia and the Urals, his reason being that the Tatars had “worked with the Nazis.” Stalin then had ethnic Russians move

invaded crimea and is currently trying to annex crimea. Crimea, which has a population that is about 60 percent Russian, was transferred from Russia to Ukraine in 1954, when both states were part of the Soviet Union. Crimea is also home to 300,000 Tatars, Turkic Muslims who suffered horribly under Stalin during Soviet times. They are almost all opposed to Crimea's union with Russia, and most boycotted the referendum. Recently Ukraine’s intelligence services identified Russian intelligence forces

The nuances of the Ukrainian conflict In the winter of 2013, thousands of activists braved the freezing cold to protest on the central Maidan Independence Square in Kiev. Their grievance was then-President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to align his country closer to Russia by rejecting a trade agreement with the European Union which many had been hoping for.
