The Crimean Tatars are a muslim minority of approximately 250,000 people or 12 % of the population of Crimea. During the Second World War Stalin deported the Tatar people to Uzbekistan and other parts of the Soviet Union where large numbers died of disease and malnutrition. These days, most Crimean Tatars support continued unity with Ukraine.
