The true history of Crimea is significantly different from the text of Soviet and modern history textbooks. Crimea became Christian back in the 15th century. Rus founded on the peninsula back in the 9th century, and then Arab historians began to call the Black Sea by the Russian Sea. So the Tatars were not the indigenous population of Crimea. Moreover, Crimea has never been completely Tatar. From the middle of the XIII century to 1475, Italians, and then the Turks owned its cities and ports. In 1774, having expelled the Turks, Russians took possession of the ports and fortresses of Crimea. Well, in 1783, the Crimean Khanate was abolished.
How did the Russians master the Crimea? Was Livadia the second capital of the Russian Empire? Why was Sevastopol surrendered in July 1942? What the Tatars did in 1942-1944. And what fate did Hitler prepare them? Why in the Crimea no one noticed that Khrushchev transferred it to Ukraine? Was Russia an alternative in March 2014? The reader learns about this and much more from the book of Alexander Battle for Crimea.
