Almost 80 years ago, on May 18, 1944, by the decision of the USSR leadership, the Crimean Tatar people were subjected to forced and total deportation from their historical homeland – Crimea, and deported to remote areas of the Soviet Union.
This crime of the USSR entailed many tragic consequences. It is very important not to forget about it. Therefore, we invite industry experts, representatives of state authorities, public figures, scientists of higher educational institutions, scientific institutions and young scientists to participate in the expert hearings.

We express hope that your participation in the event will contribute to a fruitful discussion, substantiation of proposals and preservation of the historical memory of the victims of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people.
