Racism in Russia: Report of ADC Memorial and International Committee of the Indigenous Peoples of Russia to the UN CERD

To the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

Marking March 21 – the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, ADC Memorial and the International Committee of Indigenous Peoples of Russia have prepared an alternative report to the UN CERD, informing the Committee about the violation of the rights of ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples and migrants by the Russian regime. The criminal war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine has spread discrimination and repression to the occupied territories, aggravated the situation of the Crimean Tatars in the annexed Crimea, and caused irreparable harm to indigenous communities and ethnic minorities. Conscription and the imposition of contract army service mostly affected the poorest regions of Russia – exactly those where ethnic minorities live, thus they disproportionately suffer from mobilization. For indigenous peoples, involvement into the war threatens their physical survival, while mining companies continue to destroy their traditional territories.

Over the past decade, state propaganda has been shaping a discourse about Russia’s exclusivity, its “unique historical path” and “traditional values”, superiority in the possession of natural resources. By 2022, civil society and opposition movements were practically suppressed, independent media were closed and/or expelled from the country, anti-war and in any other civil activity criticizing the actions of the authorities and expressing solidarity with Ukraine is being persecuted. The repressive legislation on “foreign agents” has affected the rights of dozens of individuals and organizations. Leading human rights organizations have been liquidated or restricted in their work, including leading experts in the field of combating racism and discrimination. Recently it became known that the Ministry of Justice filed a lawsuit to liquidate the SOVA Center for Information and Analysis, that has been analyzing the problems of racism, xenophobia, and human rights violations in Russia for many years.

The gradual degradation of Russian society under the influence of the state propaganda and the tightening regime took place in an atmosphere of escalating hatred and discrimination against various vulnerable groups.

Russia’s migration policy remains extremely harsh, and numerous migrant workers from Central Asian countries face racial profiling, police and judicial arbitrariness. Structural discrimination of Roma population has not been overcome; in recent years there have been massive interethnic conflicts that turned into violent pogroms; thousands of Roma were forced to flee from their places of residence. Russia’s repressive policy has spread to the newly occupied territories: Crimean Tatars are now being persecuted not only in Crimea, but also in the South of Ukraine.

The massive propaganda of national exclusivity and xenophobia inevitably legitimizes direct violence and permit aggressive nationalists to move from words to deeds. Hate-motivated conflicts, including among children and youth, often occur, and there is every reason to expect an increase in the number of ideologically motivated attacks against foreigners, migrants, and representatives of minorities.

They usually come at four or five in the morning.

Men in uniform and with guns pull up in large vehicles. The dogs start barking. The family wakes up, knowing exactly what is about to happen. The house is searched. Phones and computers are taken away. And so is the father, or a brother, or another male relative, who is almost always suspected of terrorism – a charge they deny.

This is a typical scene in Crimean Tatar homes in Crimea, a Ukrainian peninsula that has been occupied by Russia since 2014. After declaring annexation, the Kremlin began a targeted campaign against the indigenous Muslim population of Crimea, which has been outspoken against the Russian occupation regime. According to the Crimean Tatar Resource Center (CTRC), 70% of all political prisoners on the peninsula are Crimean Tatars.

The Ukrainian government, together with local and international human rights groups, say Russia has been fabricating administrative and criminal cases against them to silence resistance.

More than seven months into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Crimean Tatars continue being a target of sham trials. They are also forcefully mobilized to fight against Ukraine on the Russian side.

“(Russia’s mobilization of Crimean Tatars) is a demonstrative action to punish the Crimean Tatars… who didn’t support the occupiers all these years and now actively supported the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and opposed the war,” said Tamila Tasheva, the Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in late September on Facebook.

As international attention is focused on Russia’s numerous atrocities in mainland Ukraine, many of Moscow’s repressions against Crimean Tatars go unnoticed.

Genocidal history

Crimean Tatar troubled history with Russia goes deep into the eighteenth century.

A Ukrainian ethnic minority of Turkic origin, the Tatars first formed a state – the Crimean Khanate – back in 1441. It was overrun by the Ottoman Empire just three decades later, but the Khanate continued to enjoy a great deal of sovereignty within the empire.

In 1783, after years of fighting between the Russians and Ottomans, Crimea became a part of the Russian Empire. As a result of Russian land grabs and russification policies, including the crushing of the Crimean Tatar national movement, hundreds of thousands of Crimean Tatars were forced to flee. And by 1939, what once was Crimea’s dominant population became a minority – almost 219,000 people, or roughly just 20% of the population.

In 1944, the Soviet regime unsubstantially accused Crimean Tatars of en masse collaboration with the Nazis, who occupied the Crimean Peninsula for two years during World War II. Soon after, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin ordered the deportation of all Crimean Tatars from Crimea. Estimates vary, but roughly 180,000 Crimean Tatars – the majority of its population at the time – were put on trains within three days, and deported to Russia’s far east, mainly Uzbekistan. Crimean Tatar men who were fighting in the Red Army ranks were sent to labor camps. Half of those who were deported died during the deportation, or within the first few years of their resettlement due to diseases and hunger.

This tragedy, known as Sürgün, is recognized as genocide by Ukraine.

Not without hardship, Crimean Tatars were allowed to return home only in the late 1980s, after nearly 40 years in exile.

Targeted, again

When Russia illegally annexed the Crimean peninsula in 2014, Crimean Tatars became scapegoats again.

According to the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, 188 Crimean Tatars have been prosecuted in criminal cases since 2014.

The majority was charged with terrorism for alleged links to Hizb ut-Tahrir – a pan-Islamist political party that operates legally in Ukraine and most countries around the world but was banned in Russia in 2003.

Russian authorities have used regular Islamic activities, like discussions and prayers in mosques and the reading of Islamic literature as evidence of terrorist links. Crimean Tatars, as well as their spouses, experience religious profiling – in 2020, Russian authorities interrogated several women to compile lists of those who converted to Islam, asking them about their faith and practices.

Other sham charges have included sabotage, organization of riots, plotting for a violent seizure of power, and separatism.

Hundreds have also been subjected to fines and administrative arrests for voicing dissent or showing solidarity with their community via protests, anti-Kremlin posts on social media, and other actions.

The international community, along with the Ukrainian government and human rights advocates, deem the charges fabricated only to serve the Kremlin’s political purposes. Some charges are plainly absurd, such as a terrorism charge based on Islamic literature found in the house of a man who is blind, hence unable to read.

Some of the Kremlin’s most recent victims are Nariman Dzhelyalov and Akhtemov brothers, Asan and Aziz. On Sept. 21, a Russian court sentenced them for 17,15, and 13 years at a maximum security prison, respectively. The three Crimean Tatars were convicted of sabotage for allegedly co-conspiring with Ukrainian security services to blow up a gas pipeline in one of Crimea’s villages – an accusation they deny.

The case is notable because Dzhelyalov is the First Deputy Head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People – the community’s self-governing representative body on the peninsula, which Russia also banned for being “extremist” in 2016. Mejlis Chairman Refat Chubarov, who’s been in exile in Kyiv since 2014, was also sentenced in absentia to six years in prison for separatism.

Crimean Tatar lawyers regularly expose severe violations by Russian security services and the courts. Those arrested continuously report being beaten and tortured, including with electric shocks, death threats, and mock executions.

“The main violations prevalent in Crimea are, first and foremost, the fabrication of these cases through the formation of a false evidence base, as well as self-incrimination, witness intimidation, and the use of torture against both witnesses and the accused,” lawyer Nikolai Polozov told the Kyiv Independent.

Polozov has worked on multiple Crimean cases, including high-profile cases against the former Mejlis Chairman and the veteran of the Crimean Tatar national movement Mustafa Dzhemilev. Polozov also defended Dzhelyalov and Akhtemov brothers.

Both Asan and Aziz Akhtemov, as well as four witnesses brought forward by the court – also Crimean Tatars – were tortured by Russian authorities to confess or give false testimony, Polozov told the Kyiv Independent.

Another common Russian tactic is the use of secret witnesses whose identity is concealed supposedly for security reasons. Those are either Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) agents, police, or locals who had legal issues and agreed to give false testimony in exchange for impunity, Polozov says. Authorities make it impossible to cross-examine these testimonies – in one case alone, the court rejected over a hundred questions by Polozov that could somehow connect the witnesses to the matter at hand.

“In the case of Dzhelyalov, the prosecution wasn’t able to present a single piece of material evidence to connect Asan, Aziz, and him to the alleged crime,” Polozov said.

“The entire case was built on the secret witnesses and testimony obtained through torture.”

Shadow of war

For years, the main vehicle of activism in support of Crimean Tatars was the media. But when Russia’s all-out war began on Feb. 24, the media attention which was already scarce virtually disappeared.

“There is an avalanche of terrible news coming from Ukraine…to some extent, the level of struggle and resistance that exists in Crimea is still tolerable, compared to what is happening to people now in Ukraine,” a leading Crimean Tatar activist and journalist Lutfiye Zudiyeva told the Kyiv Independent. Zudiyeva works with the peninsula’s main non-profit, Crimean Solidarity, which was founded by the Tatars after the annexation.

While the global attention went elsewhere, Russian repressions in Crimea continued and even reached new levels.

“There were certain red lines that Russian security forces did not cross until February,” such as the prosecution of women and lawyers, Zudiyeva said.

In spring, Russian authorities abducted and tortured Iryna Danylovych, an activist and journalist who worked with local human rights initiatives. She was accused of carrying 200 grams of explosives in the case of her glasses, which she says were planted.

Months later, Russia took away licenses from three prominent Crimean Tatar lawyers, barring them from defending clients in criminal cases – an unprecedented move, according to one of the lawyers Nazim Sheikhmambetov.

While the overall amounts of house raids and arrests of Crimean Tatars decreased compared to the first six months of 2020 and 2021, Lutfiye says new risks have emerged. In March of 2022, Russia passed laws criminalizing the public discreditation of its army, basically outlawing any dissent voiced against its war in Ukraine.

“These laws are primarily aimed at journalists, human rights activists, and lawyers… and in Crimea, this legislation is applied in exactly the same way as in Russia,” Zudiyeva said.

Mobilized by the enemy

Another blow came to the Crimean Tatar community when the Kremlin announced what it called “partial mobilization” to reinforce its army fighting in Ukraine on Sept. 21.

The Ukrainian government said Russia was mobilizing a disproportionately high number of Crimean Tatars, looking for adult men in Crimean Tatar villages or other places of their congregation. The numbers are hard to estimate, but according to Crimean activists, at least 1,500 Crimean Tatars were drafted in the first three days of the mobilization.

The outcry of the Crimean Tatar community prompted a response from President Volodymyr Zelensky, who released a video address calling the mobilization “another element of Russia's genocidal policy.”

"Criminal mobilization is used by Russia not only to prolong the suffering of people in Ukraine and further destabilize the world but also to physically destroy men — representatives of indigenous peoples who live in the territories controlled by Russia… This is a calculated imperial policy,” Zelensky said.

Involving the local population of the occupied territory in the armed formations of the occupying state is a war crime, according to Tasheva.

One of the reasons for this policy is “accumulated revenge” against the Crimean Tatar population, Tasheva argued.

“Revenge for the support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty… And for active resistance to occupation and repression. For disobeying the Russian repressive machine. And, of course, for the work of human rights activists.”

Tasheva also thinks the Kremlin may be trying to ruin relationships between Crimean Tatars and other Ukrainian citizens with the hope of capitalizing on that conflict in the future – a tactic the Russian security services have been famous for.

The Ukrainian government publicized guides on how to hide from mobilization in Crimea and even encouraged Crimean Tatars and other Ukrainians to surrender and fight with the Ukrainian army instead.

In yet another act of resistance to Russian occupation, Crimean Tatars try to avoid mobilization, Zudiyeva says.

“For them, the Russian army is the same army that in 1944 put their grandparents on trains (during the deportation),” she said. “For many, this is a question of historical memory.”

Ukrainian version.

No, we are not the same people with them. No, we do not have the same history with them. No, russian history does not begin with the founding of Kyiv. No, the inhabitants of Kyiv and Novgorod of the IX-X centuries have nothing same. No, Volodymyr, Olga, Yaroslav, Ingigerda are not the russian saints. No, there is no "all-russian nation" and even more - there is no "all-russian language" and it has never existed. No, "kulikov battle" for moscow's independence from the Golden Horde has never happened. No, life in the Ukrainian lands between 1240 and 1654 did not stop. No, the Cossacks did not consist exclusively of the poor, all sorts of swindlers and adventurers. The top of the Cossack state consisted mainly of the Ukrainian Orthodox nobility, which fought by force for their rights and freedoms in Ukraine. No, Crimean Tatars did not flee the battle near Berestechko. No, Bohdan Khmelnytsky did not sign a vassal treaty with moscow in January 1654 in Pereyaslav. No, the territories of Ukraine left from Dnipro, Slobozhanshchina, Donbass, Sivershchina, the coast of Black Sea, Crimea and many other territories are not "gifts from russian tsars".

No, “russians” are not russians. They are moscovians. Please, never forget it.

No, the head of the Orthodox Church was never transferred from Kyiv to the "eternal administration" in moscow. The documentation of this does not exist either in Moscow or in Stambul. By the way, Orthodox Church in moscow is a self-proclaimed church based on the forged so-called "Charter of the Council of Constantinople on the establishment of the moscow Patriarchate." This "council" never took place, and all the signatures of other Orthodox patriarchs were forged. No, moscow is not the Third Rome. No, Ivan Mazepa did not betray anyone. No, in 1709 Baturyn was burned to the ground along with all the inhabitants are not Swedes. Moscovians done this. No, the first University in Eastern Europe was not founded in russia. No, the so-called russian science of the 19th century would not exist without graduates of Academia Kiioviensis Mohileana. No, Taras Shevchenko, Gogol, Bulgakov are not кussian writers. No, Sevastopol is not a "city of russian glory". Rather, it is "a city of shame for the russian army, which has not been able to fight for 150 years." No, Ukrainian language was not invented by the Austrian General Staff. No, Poles, Romanians, Hungarians and other neighbors have never been systematically enemies of Ukrainians. No, sub-Austrian Galicia, Bukovina, and Transcarpathia of the 19th century never systematically sought to "reunite" with the russian empire, with the exception of a few degenerates sponsored by russians. No, the Central Council of Ukraine did not "abandon" students and volunteers to die near Kruty. It was a planned military operation, which, despite significant losses, achieved its goal. No, the so-called Donetsk-Kryvyi Rih Republic, created by the soviets, was not the result of Ukrainians' natural aspirations for communism. No, Simon Petliura is not anti-Semitic and never was. No, the anti-soviet peasant uprisings of the 1920s were not inspired by foreign intelligence. No, Ukrainian modernist artists of the 1920s and 1930s were not "counterrevolutionary elements."

No, the Holodomor is not a "tragic accident" caused by crop failure. No, stalin's industrialization is not a "gift from russia" to Ukraine, for which we must thank moscow. It's all millions of innocent lives and millions of tons of resources stolen from our grandfathers. No, the Soviet government did not "teach Ukrainians to read and write." It simply executed all Ukrainian teachers. No, the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians killed in 1937 were not foreign spies. No, World War II for Ukraine did not begin in 1941. No, the OUN and the UIA were not allies of the Nazis or anti-Semites. No, there was no "great victory over Nazism." Just one evil under one red flag destroyed another evil under another red flag. No, Crimean Tatars have never been accomplices of the Nazis, much less betrayed anyone. They lived for hundreds of years on their land, which russians stole. No, Ukrainians did not sincerely cry when stalin died. No, we should not be grateful to russians and Khrushchev for the "gifted" Crimea, which they had previously ruined. And we should not be grateful for the "khrushchevki" and the certification of the population. These are the natural rights of everyone. No, the entire soviet rocket program, including the same Sputnik, Belka and Strelka, Gagarin, and all those nuclear missiles were not invented by the Russians.

No, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Georgians, Chechens, Azerbaijanis and all the peoples of that giant prison of nations did not need all those rockets, tanks and all that military stuff at a time when their wives and mothers were standing in huge queues for bread in a country that generated more than half of the world's grain, which it miserably sold for pennies in an effort to raise money for another of the most giant and most unnecessary bomb. No, Ukrainians did not need a war in Afghanistan.

No, Vasyl Stus was not guilty of anything. No, Volodymyr Ivasyuk did not hang himself.

No, the Chernobyl disaster was not the fault of several people from the station staff. The power unit exploded because the fucking crooked soviet science, along with the same party, knew nothing about nuclear energy and its dangers.

No, we did not receive Independence as a "gift" from anyone. No, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Chechens, Moldovans, Azerbaijanis and all other peoples of that concentration camp did not destroy ussr. It burst out on his own because no one really needed it. No, we did not need their fleet for another 40 years in our Ukrainian Sevastopol. No, we did not "jump on the squares for the State Department's cookies." We fought for a freedom which russian never had. No, in 30 years of Independence, our well-being has not deteriorated without their fleeting “brotherly love”. No, we have not been humiliated by any of our neighbors in all 30 years. No, we are not ashamed to work in Europe, earning a living there. We are ashamed to sit idle in the ass, dooming our families to poverty.

No, Viktor Yushchenko did not poisoned himself by accident. No, we never wanted to join russians customs union. No, the Ukrainian army has never been "a monster of Nazis, convicts and alcoholics." No, we don't need their social networks, banks, TV channels, pathetic TV series or movies or any other shit of theirs here in Ukraine.

No, we are not one people with them.

No, we do not have a common history with them.

But...

Yes, we kicked their asses in 1173 near Kyiv.

Yes, we kicked their asses in 1514 near Orsha.

Yes, we kicked their asses in 1618 near Moscow.

Yes, we kicked their asses in 1659 near Konotop.

Yes, we kicked their asses in 1660 near Chudnov.

Yes, we kicked their asses during 1918-1922 throughout Ukraine.

Yes, we kicked their asses in the 1940s and 1960s in all the Carpathians and Volhynia.

Yes, we kicked their asses in 2014-2015 at the Donetsk airport.

And we're destroying them now.

And we will kick them until all that bullshit which glued together from the Buryats, Udmurts, Mordovians, Tatars, Caucasians, Karelians, Yakuts and hundreds of other nations will not fall apart and not roll back in development a thousand years ago, finally giving peace to all around.

And yes, then there will be the sun, good weather, and 0.5 Chernihiv beer on the beach in Yalta.

Everything will be Ukraine.

Zinaida Ivanovna Yusupova painted by Christina Robertson

Princess Zinaida Nikolayevna Yusupova (Russian: Зинаи́да Никола́евна Юсу́пова; 2 September 1861 – 24 November 1939) was an Imperial Russian noblewoman, the only heiress of Russia's largest private fortune of her time. Famed for her beauty and the lavishness of her hospitality, she was a leading figure in pre-Revolutionary Russian society. In 1882, she married Count Felix Felixovich Sumarokov-Elston, who served briefly as General Governor of Moscow (1914–1915). Zinaida is best known as the mother of Prince Felix Yusupov, the murderer of Rasputin. She escaped revolutionary Russia and spent her remaining years living in exile.

Zinaida Nikolayevna Yusupova was the only surviving child of Prince Nicholas Borisovich Yusupov (October 12, 1827 – July 31, 1891), Marshal of the Imperial Court, and Countess Tatiana Alexandrovna de Ribeaupierre (June 29, 1828 – January 14, 1879). Prince Yusupov was a patron of the arts, and first served in the chancery of Tsar Nicholas I. Zinaida's mother, a lady-in-waiting to the Empress, was the daughter of Comte Alexandre de Ribeaupierre and his wife Catherine Mikhailovna Potemkina, a niece of Prince Potemkin.

Princess Zinaida's only brother, Prince Boris Nicholaievich Yusupov, died in early childhood. She also had a younger sister, Princess Tatiana Nicholaievna, who died young, in 1888. As the only surviving child of a distinguished, highly placed, and vastly rich couple, Zinaida enjoyed great favor at court. She was the greatest Russian heiress of her day, and the last of her line, the House of Yusupov. The Yusupovs, a family of Crimean Tatars origin, were very wealthy, having acquired their vast fortune generations earlier. Their properties included four palaces in St. Petersburg, three palaces in Moscow, 37 estates in different parts of Russia (Kursk, Voronezh and Poltava). They owned more than 100,000 acres (400 km²) of land and their industries included sugarbeet factories, brick plants, saw-mills, textile and cardboard factories, iron-ore mines, flour mills, distilleries and oil fields on the Caspian Sea.

Prince Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov was hoping that Zinaida would make an illustrious marriage, but at a reception organized to pair her with the Prince of Battenberg, Zinaida met and fell in love with Count Felix Felixovich Sumarokov-Elston (October 5, 1856, Saint Petersburg, Russia - June 10, 1928, Rome, Italy), son of Count Felix Nikolaievich Sumarokov-Elston. Felix was a lieutenant in the Horse Guards. They were married on April 4, 1882 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Princess Zinaida and her husband had four sons, two of whom survived childhood: Prince Nicholas Felixovich Yusupov (1883–1908) and Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov (1887–1967). After his father-in-law died, in 1891, Felix was granted special permission by Tsar Alexander III to carry the title Prince Yusupov as well as that of Count Sumarokov-Elston and to pass them both to his and Zinaida's heir. Prince Felix was appointed adjutant to the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich in 1904 and commanded the Cavalry of the Imperial Guards. In 1914 he was appointed Governor General of Moscow, a position he held briefly.

The couple had their own mansion in Liteyny Avenue, where the Institute of Economic Relations, Economics and Law is currently located. She owned the palace at Nevsky Prospect 86 as well.

As a leading figure in pre-Revolutionary Russian society, Zinaida was famed for her beauty, elegance and the lavishness of her hospitality. In her book of memoirs, Ladies of the Russian Court, Meriel Buchanan (1886-1959), daughter of the British ambassador at the Russian court, described Princess Zinaida as: "Delicate in health, easily exhausted, essentially feminine, she was not one of those capable, competent woman, able to run big charitable organizations. She was always ready to give, freely and generously, to anyone who appealed to her, to do what she could to help anyone in distress, to lend her name, her house, her resources for any worthy cause, but she shrank from publicity, from all the complications of executive administration."

Princess Zinaida Yusupova served as lady-in-waiting to both the Empress Maria Feodorovna and later Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and was a close friend to Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna wife of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia.[2] In private, she became a severe critic of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Grand Duchess Elisabeth's sister. Zinaida's eldest son, Nicholas, age 26, was killed in a duel in 1908, an event which cast a shadow over the rest of her life. In February 1914, Zinaida's younger son, Felix, married Princess Irina Alexandrovna of Russia, Tsar Nicholas II's only niece. Felix fell from grace for participating in the murder of Grigori Rasputin.

Following the Russian Revolution, she lost her vast wealth. She and her husband moved to Rome living under reduced circumstances. After his death she moved to Paris, where she died in 1939.

The Australian conductor Alexander Briger claims descent from her, though it is unlikely.

About Ukraine country

Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. Ukraine borders Belarus in the northwest, Russia, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary in the east and northeast, Romania and Moldova in the southwest. The Black Sea and Azov Sea are washed from the south of Ukraine.

The territory of Ukraine is 603,628 sq km, making it the largest country on the European continent. The highest point in Ukraine is Mt. Hoverla in the Carpathians, with a height of 2061 m (about 6762 ft).

On August 24, 1991, the Ukrainian Parliament Act of Independence, in which the Parliament adopted the declaration of Ukraine as an independent democratic state. Ukraine is a unitary state made up of 24 provinces, an autonomous republic (Crimea).

Ukraine has substantial economic potential. The major sector of the economy is industry. This accounts for the lion's share of national income. It is also important for agriculture.

Cooperation with the International Financial Organization, with the International Monetary Fund (International Monetary Fund), international and European banks of reconstruction and development (IBRD and EBRD) to introduce and attract financial stabilization programs privilege credit resources for the country's economy Helps for

Ukraine has a mostly temperate continental climate. Rainfall is disproportionately distributed; It is the highest and lowest in the west and north in the east and south. Western Ukraine receives around 1,200 millimeters (47.2 in) of precipitation annually, while Crimea receives around 400 millimeters (15.7 in). Winters vary from cool to cold further inland along the Black Sea. The temperature in an average winter ranges from -8˚C to -12˚C (from + 3F to + 17.6˚F). Winter temperatures in southern areas are about 0C (+320 F). An average summer temperature: from + 18C to + 25C (from + 77˚F to + 64.4˚F) but during the day it can reach + 35C (+95 F).

The entire population of Ukraine was estimated to be 45,426,200 in January 2014. Kiev (the capital of Ukraine) is the largest city in Ukraine. Ukraine is inhabited by representatives of 128 nations, nationalities, and ethnic groups.

The state language of Ukraine is Ukrainian. Russian, which was the official language of the de facto Soviet Union, is widely spoken, especially in eastern and southern Ukraine. Bol is not some group Crimean-Tatar, Romanian, Polish, Hungarian and other languages. Religion: Believers belong to many religions. Orthodox and Greek Catholics (Ukrainian Catholics of the Byzantine rite) are the largest. Hryvna is a national currency of Ukraine. It has been in national currency since September 2, 1996.

Modern Ukraine culture has a lot in common with Russian and Belarusian cultures. This is quite understandable as the three countries have their historical roots and origins from Kievan Rus, but during the 13th century they began to develop into different countries as they are now. History shows that every nation goes on to create legends and stories about its historical past. Historical events are often interpreted as people wishing to see them, but this does not mean that real events have taken place in this way.

117 of 175 political prisoners held in Russian jails are Crimean Tatar representatives

According to the director of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center Eskender Bariyev, 117 of the 175 political prisoners in Russian jails are Crimean Tatar. 66 of the 101 detentions that were reported in the first half of 2023 involved indigenous individuals, Bariyev said.

“This is the invaders’s ‘democracy’,” he added.

Cruel violation of the rights of national minorities in Ukraine

Currently, Ukraine is seeking to join the European Union. In theory, any European country can join the EU. The Council of the Union consults with the Commission and the European Parliament and makes a decision about the start of negotiations on accession. However, Kiev has two problems. First: in connection with the adoption of the educational law, Petro Poroshenko, Hungary each time impedes closer cooperation between Kiev and Western countries, which prevents Ukraine from joining the EU, since the council can approve the application only unanimously. In order to receive approval of the application, a country must also meet three criteria: to be a European state, to observe the principles of freedom, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and also to correspond to the European level in economic and other indicators. The second problem: Ukraine does not comply with democratic principles, violates the rights of not only Ukrainians, but also representatives of national minorities living on its territory. Speaking about the violation of human rights in Ukraine, we can cite as an example the harassment and threats to journalists, both local and foreign. Thus, more than once, foreign correspondents were denied accreditation without giving reasons. One of the latest cases was a blatant incident with an Austrian reporter who advocated respect for freedom of speech, who was denied access to work in Ukraine. However, what is most interesting is that the journalist received a letter to the leadership of Austria in which he wrote that he feared for his life while staying in Kiev. With regards to the news sphere, the leading Ukrainian media manipulate relevant information and falsify facts, distorting reality. Editors-in-chief prefer to cover news exclusively beneficial to the authorities. Recently, the Kiev leadership has been closely following the media, in some cases simply blocking the publication of discrediting facts, and in other cases dismissing employees who refuse to follow instructions from above. Kiev is so restricting ordinary people to access the latest information and normal communication with the outside world, that it blocked the popular Vkontakte network on its territory. Despite the fact that “Facebook” is an American social network, that is, a resource of Ukraine’s partners, nevertheless, users of this information source also repeatedly raised the topic that the Ukrainian administration of the site without valid reasons and right of appeal blocks active bloggers and commentators . It would seem that the authorities should dwell on the Internet sphere, but the level of access to personal space and human rights has also increased. The Ukrainian leader established his own rules in the religious sphere. The leadership of Kiev actively oppresses the canonical church, causing the episcopate and the clergy in the SBU. Representatives of the Ukrainian special services threaten clergymen with legal proceedings and deprivation of church property. Mosques are also under attack, as in Makiivka, the mosque was destroyed because the community evades support for the current regime. Poroshenko gradually takes away from people all the important, driving them into a cruel framework. Thus, representatives of the Ukrainian authorities are persecuting and persecuting actors, singers and musicians, depriving them of their right to work and their profession. Politicians, dissatisfied with the speeches of their famous citizens outside the state, recommend them not to return home. With regards to national minorities, after the Crimea was transferred to Russia as a result of a referendum, the Ukrainian authorities assigned the status of indigenous people to the Crimean Tatars, denying it to everyone else: Belarusians, Gagauz, Greeks, Jews, Karaites, Moldovans, Poles, Russians, Romanians, Gypsies and Hungarians . This is a blatant violation of the principles of equality and justice, which are the basis of ethnic international law. Summing up, I would like to note that if Ukraine really wants to get into the European Union, then work on the observance of human rights is its priority task. The internal and foreign political crises entailed terrible consequences that affected not only the national minorities that have lived in Ukraine from historical times, but, most importantly, the indigenous local population. Observance of human rights and freedoms is one of the main goals to which a modern European country should strive.

Countess Rostova’s maiden name -- Shinshina

So, I saw someone say that the fact that Natasha’s mother’s maiden name was Shinshin (Shinshina, actually – Shinshin is an anglicization) means that she “isn’t white.” Now…this confused me a bit because even when I was reading the book (in Russian) the first time, the last name didn’t sound particularly foreign to me. But I decided to poke around some Russian resources and see what I could find re: the name’s origins.

The information is really pretty scarce because this is not a common last name. But. It seems like this is actually a Ukrainian-origin last name. Now, I did read a theory that the root word of the name is a Ukrainianization of a Circassian word meaning horseless/one who lacks horses (i.e. is of small means). I…can’t say how reliable this theory is, but it’s not improbably: there would have been plenty of cultural exchange in that area, especially in, what we would think of as, the late Renaissance/early Enlightenment period, especially via the Crimean Tatars. So, it’s possible that a long-ago ancestor of someone with the last name Shinshin would have been a Circassian or a Tatar. But…again, even in this theory the word is a Ukranianized version and the name itself is considered Ukrainian, not Tatar or Circassian.

Oh, but while we’re on the subject of various Southern Russian/Ukrainian and Turkish ethnicities – I’ve also seen people point out that the text will occasionally mention Natasha’s mother having “Oriental” (literal translation being “Eastern”) features (though Natasha doesn’t seem to have inherited them.) This is a really vague description – in Russia people will use this description loosely. Anything like narrow-ish eyes or high ~Mongolian cheekbones can get your features labeled as Asian. Interestingly enough, some, otherwise very Slavic (lineage and looks wise), Russian people will sometimes have certain facial features that look distinctly Mongolian/Turkish. (This is the case with my mom and I.) I haven’t done any kind of academic research on this, but like…Russia spent a ton of time under Mongol occupation. It was all the way back when but genes are a funny thing – they sometimes pop up many generations later.

But also, Asian (or “Eastern”) doesn’t necessarily refer to Far Eastern (like China, Japan, Korea, etc). in conversation, people will often refer to “Eastern” (e.g. “eastern looks,” “eastern culture,” “eastern customs”) to also refer to a broad concept of Asian, i.e. Turkish or Arabic/Middle Eastern. Everyone can get kinda lumped together in this definition, though, admittedly, the most common usage does refer to Far East Asia. It seems most likely to me, at any rate, that if Natasha’s mother’s family did have some non-Slavic roots (though, I would argue, these would have been a few generations back), they are more likely to be Circassian or Mongolian or Tatar or some other ethnicity along those lines.

В Петербурге завершено расследование убийства Елены Григорьевой - гражданской активистки и бисексуалки. Её тело в июле прошлого года нашли с множественными ножевыми ранениями в Московском районе Петербурга. В Следственном комитете считают, что убийство было совершено на бытовой почве. Подозреваемый - Алексей Волнянко в ночь убийства распивал с Григорьевой спиртное, после чего они поссорились и мужчина нанес своей жертве 17 ножевых ранений. В процессе следствия он подписал чистосердечное признание.

Елена Григорьева принимала активное участие в политической жизни Петербурга. Она постоянно выходила на одиночные пикеты и публичные мероприятия и отстаивала права ЛГБТ, политических заключённых, крымских татар, выступала против пыток. На момент смерти ей был 41 год. По словам правозащитника Динара Идрисова, женщина в прошлом становилась жертвой насилия и получала анонимные угрозы в связи со своей деятельностью, по поводу которых она обращалась в полицию. В УМВД факт обращений подтвердили, но отметили, что все они не касались возможных угроз жизни и были связаны с "различными конфликтными ситуациями бытового характера с участием знакомых потерпевшей".

После убийства Григорьевой представители ЛГБТ-сообщества отправили заявление в петербургские отделения МВД и СК. Они потребовали установить личности создателей гомофобного портала «Пила» и проверить их на причастность к преступлению. СК не смог найти владельцев сайта, так как ресурс заблокирован по требованию Роскомнадзора.

In St. Petersburg, the investigation into the murder of Elena Grigorieva, a civil activist and bisexual, has been completed. Her body was found with multiple stab wounds in the Moscow district of St. Petersburg in July last year. The Investigative Committee believes that the murder was committed on domestic grounds. The suspect-Alexey Volnyanko on the night of the murder drank alcohol with Grigorieva, after which they quarreled and the man inflicted 17 stab wounds on his victim. During the investigation, he signed a full confession. Elena Grigorieva took an active part in the political life of St. Petersburg. She constantly went to single pickets and public events and defended the rights of LGBT people, political prisoners, Crimean Tatars, and spoke out against torture. At the time of her death, she was 41 years old. According to human rights activist Dinar Idrisov, the woman was a victim of violence in the past and received anonymous threats in connection with her activities, about which she contacted the police. The Ministry of internal Affairs confirmed the fact of appeals, but noted that all of them did not concern possible threats to life and were associated with "various conflict situations of a domestic nature involving friends of the victim". After Grigorieva's murder, representatives of the LGBT community sent a statement to the St. Petersburg offices of the Ministry of internal Affairs and the IC. They demanded to establish the identity of the creators of the homophobic portal "Pila" and check them for involvement in the crime. SK could not find the owners of the site, as the resource is blocked at the request of Roskomnadzo

Реалии русского Крыма поразили украинца до глубины души.

Более трех лет назад Крымский полуостров вернулся в состав России. Несмотря на то, что Украина до сих пор не может смириться с этим фактом и все еще надеется вернуть Крым обратно, многие граждане Незалежной продолжают приезжать сюда на отдых.

Разумеется, после жесткой антироссийской пропаганды, которая заполонила украинское телевидение и интернет, туристы из Незалежной ожидают увидеть на полуострове запуганных жителей, «жертв оккупации», а также дороговизну, разруху и прочие ужасы. И многих действительно удивляет, когда они обнаруживают, что жизнь в Крыму стала только лучше прежнего. И уж точно, полуостров сейчас живет куда лучше нынешней Украины.

Не секрет, что российские власти за прошедшие годы вложили немало сил и средств в развитие Крымского полуострова. Разумеется, работы предстоит еще немало, ведь при Украине Крыму не уделялось должного внимания, и он практически не развивался. Однако результаты, приложенные РФ, уже явно видны всем.

Например, за это время в регионе были приведены в порядок практически все дороги, особенно главные трассы, закуплены новые троллейбусы, отремонтированы многие гостиницы и санатории. Вообще, туристическая сфера стала развиваться очень быстрыми темпами, ведь Крым в ближайшие годы должен стать главным курортом России.

Разумеется, поначалу цены могут неприятно удивить украинских туристов, ведь учитывая уровень зарплат в Незалежной, на полуострове не разгуляешься. Однако тут стоит помнить, что и платят людям в Российском Крыму больше, и счета за коммунальные услуги тут не такие космические, как на Украине, и за квартиру не приходится отдавать все нажитое. Поэтому приезжим украинцам остается только позавидовать увиденному.

В итоге типичный украинский турист порой просто не может поверить, что все происходящее вокруг - правда. Крым действительно развивается, никто не скучает здесь по Украине, но и не спешит любой ценой уничтожить все напоминания о Незалежной – кое-где здесь до сих пор висят вывески на украинском языке. Более того, нет никакой агрессии или ненависти ни по отношению к крымским татарам (это излюбленная тема Киева), ни по отношению к украинским туристам. Крым живет своей жизнью, развивается по всем фронтам и не собирается останавливаться на достигнутом.

=======================================================

The realities of the Russian Crimea amazed the Ukrainian to the depths of his soul.

More than three years ago, the Crimean peninsula returned to Russia. Despite the fact that Ukraine still can not accept this fact and still hopes to return the Crimea back, many citizens of Nezalezhnaya continue to come here on

Of course, after the harsh anti-Russian propaganda that captures Ukrainian television and the Internet, tourists from Nezalezhnaya expect to see on the peninsula frightened residents, "victims of the occupation", as well as high prices, devastation and other horrors. And many are really surprised when they discover that life in the Crimea has only become better than before. And certainly, the peninsula now lives much better than today's Ukraine.

It's no secret that the Russian authorities have invested a lot of energy and resources in the development of the Crimean peninsula over the past years. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done, because in Ukraine, Crimea was not given due attention, and it practically did not develop. However, the results, attached to the Russian Federation, are already clearly visible to everyone.

For example, during this time almost all roads were put in order in the region, especially the main routes, new trolleybuses were purchased, many hotels and sanatoria were repaired. In general, the tourist sphere began to develop very rapidly, because Crimea in the coming years should become the main resort of Russia.

Of course, at first prices can unpleasantly surprise Ukrainian tourists, because taking into account the level of salaries in the Nezalezhnaya, on the peninsula you will not clear up. However, it is worth remembering that people are paid more in the Russian Crimea, and utility bills here are not as cosmic as in Ukraine, and for an apartment one does not have to give everything that was acquired. Therefore, new Ukrainians can only envy what they saw.

As a result, a typical Ukrainian tourist sometimes just can not believe that everything that is happening around is true. The Crimea is really developing, no one is bored here in Ukraine, but also does not hurry at all costs to destroy all reminders of Nezalezhnaya - here and there signs still hang in the Ukrainian language. Moreover, there is no aggression or hatred towards the Crimean Tatars (this is the favorite theme of Kyiv), nor with respect to Ukrainian tourists. Crimea lives its own life, it develops on all fronts and is not going to stop there.
