Lenin Bayragı: ‘between two fires'
Abstract
Crimean Tatars were en masse deported throughout the
USSR from Crimea in 1944. They were forced to live in
‘special settlements’ regime until 1956. After this regime
was lifted, some national cultural institutions like the
newspaper Lenin Bayragı were established. This article
discusses the importance of Lenin Bayragı for Crimean
Tatars in exile as a unique publication and its relationship with the National Movement. The document analysis and the interviews show how Lenin Bayragı helped
Crimean Tatars protect and develop their national language and find ways to keep alive the memory of Crimea
among people despite harsh censorship.
