The Crimean Tatar Resource Center is launching a test: What do you know about the historical toponyms of Crimea?, developed as part of the #LIBERATECRIMEA information campaign. Everyone will be able to test their knowledge of the real names of geographical names on the peninsula by answering 10 questions.
We remind you that over the past three centuries the Crimean peninsula has undergone large-scale Russification and Sovietization, which is clearly reflected in the renaming of various geographical names.
First of all, the Russian government at different times did this in order to destroy the culture, language and history of the indigenous peoples of Ukraine – the Crimean Tatars, Karaites and Krymchaks, as well as their connection with their native land. Thousands of historical names of settlements and geographical objects were renamed in Crimea.
We decided to tell Ukrainians more about the historical toponyms of Crimea. Join our initiative and take the test using the link.
