The memory of the victims of the deportation of the peoples of Crimea was honored in Sevastopol

CrimeaPRESS reports:

On May 18, on the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Deportation of the Peoples of Crimea, a mourning event was held in Sevastopol. Representatives of the Government and the Legislative Assembly of Sevastopol, national cultural societies, the Sevastopol Deanery, schoolchildren and residents of the city gathered at the monument to the victims of deportation.

Today, when the entire so-called civilized world, our closest neighbors, are falling into unconsciousness, destroying monuments, trying to cancel something, to revise history, we are drawing the right conclusions from these lessons. Because interethnic unity, brotherhood, friendship — this is what unites. This is a great tragedy that happened because of terrible criminal decisions. And it is important to remember this and do everything so that this does not happen again! This is a tragedy of families, a tragedy of peoples, but it is also a symbol of great faith, because this is the way home, the way to the Motherland. Only thanks to the unconditional love for the Motherland, the return of the deported peoples became possible, and the orphaned land accepted its native people.— quotes the Government of Sevastopol Director of the Department of Internal Policy Sergei Bezdolny.

During the event, those present honored the memory of the deportation victims with a minute of silence and laid flowers at the obelisk.

Recall that on May 18, 1944, Crimean Tatars were deported from Sevastopol and Crimea. Later, from June 24 to June 27, the deportation of other peoples took place: Armenians, Greeks, Bulgarians and partially Germans — those who remained after the deportation in August 1941. In 2008, a monument was erected in Sevastopol, each face of which symbolizes one of the deported peoples.
