I was thinking about giving up reading such sad book when it started to describe the horrors of deportation of this innocent people . If they were traitors of war , why the trains were full of women and children?

STALIN WANTED TO INVADE TURKEY !
And tried to get rid of the muslim peoples of the south in the way, Crimean tatars , chechens , Inguches and even those from the georgian side of the Caucasus , areas theat never had contact with the nazis.
The motivation was simply political , and not an answer to treachery during the war.

After some sad chapters describing the first years of Russian occupation of Crimea and exodus of tatars to the Ottoman Empire , came Vatar , the uprisal of a very well project to forge some Tatar identity , whose leader was Gasprinsky.
