In June 1945, it turned out that the Crimean Tatar village remained on the Arabat spit, the inhabitants of which had been “forgotten” to evict. Fearing discontent from the top leadership of the USSR, local officials loaded all the residents on a barge. When the barge reached the middle of the Azov Sea, it was flooded. There is no official confirmation of this event. The “Arabat secret” was only talked about in the mid-90s, when the newspaper “Vechernyaya Kazan” published a letter from a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, who told about those events. In addition, the Crimean Tatars asked the journalists to find their relatives who lived at the Arabat spit before the deportation. But they were never found. Unlike most of the other deported peoples who returned to their homeland in the late 1950s, the Crimean Tatars were deprived of this right for virtually half a century – until the 1990s. |
