Event Overview
Crimeans and Ukrainians continue to fight to preserve their culture and heritage in occupied Ukraine.
After the illegal occupation of Crimea in 2014, Russia continues to pursue its cruel campaign to erase the culture of all Ukrainian citizens. From destroying heritage centers to forcibly deporting children, the Kremlin continues committing crimes against Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian culture, language, and traditions.
On May 18, 2023 - the Day of Remembrance of Crimean Tatar Deportation - experts discuss Russia’s attempts at cultural erasure and the international community’s response to protection of Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar cultural heritage in temporary occupied Crimea.
