Ukraїner та PR Army Present a Project on the Crimean Tatar Deportation: Causes and Consequences
Ukraїner and PR Army created a project on the preconditions and consequences of the deportation of Crimean Tatars.
Ukraїner and non-profit organization PR Army have released the project “Getting rid of the disobedient. How the Russians Ousted the Crimean Tatars”. It was timed to March 27, 2014, when the UN General Assembly supported the territorial integrity of Ukraine, recognizing Crimea and Sevastopol as its integral parts. The resolution was voted for by 100 UN member states out of 194.
This project visualizes the history of the prerequisites and consequences of the occupation of Crimea and the deportation of Crimean Tatars in video format.
The visuals are complemented by the voices of eyewitnesses – quotes from deportation survivors that sound at key moments in the project. The final emphasis is on poetry, which gives the material a special emotional color. In particular, the famous poem by Liliia Budzhurova “When We Return” was translated into Crimean Tatar language for the first time. This filled the project with a deep personal meaning, making it not only artistically expressive, but also a sensual reminder of the tragedy that affected thousands of lives.
