Yes, I was off with the numbers, so I had deleted my comment just before you replied to it. But the point is still valid: the current ethnic composition of Crimea was greatly affected by the deportation.
- gdy 7y agoAccording to your own link Crimean Tatars constituted 20% of the population in 1939, nowadays the number 12-15%. I wouldn't call it 'greatly affected'.

Lots of people died as a result of the deportation. The uprooting inhibited the natural population growth over the years. Lots of Crimean Tatars now live outside of Crimea.
