>Because No. Russians had already become by far the largest ethnic group in Crimea before any deportation had taken place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea#Demographics The deportation happened in 1944, the 1939 census shows Russians at 49,6%. Crimean Tatars were down to 19,4%. That still doesn't excuse Russian intervention the last few days, though. >Genocide works. Genocide and deportations or ethnic cleansing are distinct things. Deporting hundreds of thousands of people is already bad enough, no need to use terms that don't apply to it. |
