  • The Crimean Tatar Question: a Prism for Changing Nationalisms and Rival Versions of Eurasianism*
    The Crimean Tatar Question: A Prism for Changing Nationalisms and Rival Versions of Eurasianism* Andrew Wilson Abstract: This article discusses the ongoing debates about Crimean Tatar identity, and the ways in which the Crimean Tatar question has been crucial to processes of reshaping Ukrainian identity during and after the Euromaidan. The Crimean Tatar question, it is argued, is a key test in the struggle between civic and ethnic nationalism in the new Ukraine. The article also looks at the manner in which the proponents of different versions of “Eurasianism”—Russian, Volga Tatar, and Crimean Tatar—have approached the Crimean Tatar question, and how this affects the attitudes of all these ethnic groups to the Russian annexation of Crimea. Key words: Crimean Tatars, Euromaidan, Eurasianism, national identity, nationalism—civic and ethnic Introduction In the period either side of the Russian annexation of Crimea, the Crimean Tatar issue has become a lodestone for redefining the national identities of all the parties involved. The mainstream Crimean Tatar movement has been characterized by steadfast opposition first to the Yanukovych regime in Ukraine and then to Russian rule. This position has strengthened its longstanding ideology of indigenousness and special rights, but it has also * The author is extremely grateful to Ridvan Bari Urcosta for his invaluable help with research for this article, to Bob Deen and Zahid Movlazada at the OSCE HCNM, to Professor Paul Robert Magocsi, and to the anonymous reviewers who made useful comments and criticisms. 1 2 ANDREW WILSON belatedly cemented its alliance with Ukrainian nationalism. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s would‐be new supra‐ethnic civic identity draws heavily on the Crimean Tatar contribution.

  • Theme 4 What Is the Unfinished Business?
    78 Uncaptive Minds Special Issue • 25 Years After 1989 Theme 4 What is the Unfinished Business? IRENA LASOTA We are initiating the topic that is at the heart of this seminar. We have here four speakers—Isa Gambar from Azerbaijan, Tunne Kelam from Estonia, and Vytautas Landsbergis from Lithuania, who were not only very active during the events of 1988–91, but may be described as the very conscience of the independence movements in their countries. Mustafa Dzhemilev is the national leader of the Crimean Tatars and may also be described as the conscience of the Soviet human rights movement. Panel Discussion Mustafa Dzhemilev, Tunne Kelam, Vytautas Landsbergis & Isa Gambar Mustafa Dzhemilev To tell you the truth, I am not really ready to participate in this aca- demic seminar. I asked Irena what I should speak about and she said the topic should really be “How to liberate Crimea.” Of course, if I knew how to liberate Crimea, I wouldn’t be participating in conferences, I would be liberating Crimea. So if we are not liberating Crimea yet, let me talk about the situation as it is. Firstly, what are the consequences of the Russian occupation for the Crimean Tatars, the indigenous nation of the Crimean peninsula? They are dramatic. As you know very well, the Crimean Tatars survived the mass depor- tation from Crimea in 1944 and the partial genocide perpetrated by Stalin. We survived over decades and worked in a democratic and peaceful way to return to our historic homeland, the Crimean Tatars’ motherland. From the moment of the declaration of independence of Ukraine, the Crimean Tatars were a well-organized group within Crimea that could counteract the Russian separatist movement supported by Moscow.

  • Third Kurultai Held in Simferopol
    Third Kurultai held in Simferopol Vol. 5, No. 143, October 11, 1999 On October 1, 1999, the third session of the third Crimean Tatar people's congress, Kurultai, gathered 134 representatives, elected as delegates in the Crimea and former Soviet Republics to address the issue of introducing changes and amendments to regulations stipulating the procedure of the National Congress and its Auditing Commission. Another issue addressed by the Kurultai was the selection of a presidential candidate and an agenda that Crimean Tatars wished to support. The session was also expected to confirm the authority of their current chairman of the Crimean Tatar Medjlis, Mustafa Dzhemilev. In addition to Crimean Tatars and the media, the Kurultai attracted attention of the executive branch, represented at the congress by chairman of the State Committee for Nationalities and Migration of Ukraine Mykola Rudko. Speaking to the congress of Crimean Tatar representatives, the high-ranking state official admitted that notwithstanding certain achievements in solving the issues of repatriation and accommodation of Crimean tatars who arrive to Ukraine, still "there are people in the parliament, [and] executive structures of power, who underestimate the importance of the Crimean Tatar issue". The session of the congress symbolically started with the Crimean Tatar anthem, "Ant Enkenmen", and the national anthem of Ukraine. However, general Ukrainian issues were mentioned at the congress mainly in the context of the forthcoming presidential election due on October 31, 1999. During this election campaign, described by Mr. Rudko as the period when a ballot becomes "a man's weapon", Crimean Tatars have paid more attention to the issue than in the year of the previous presidential election,1994.

    CHINA’S BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE AND ITS IMPACT IN CENTRAL ASIA Marlene Laruelle, editor Washington, D.C.: The George Washington University, Central Asia Program, 2018 www.centralasiaprogram.org China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September 2013 at Nazarbayev University. It is therefore natural that, for its launch, the NAC-NU Central Asia Studies Program, in partnership with GW’s Central Asia Program, seeks to disentangle the puzzle of the Belt and Road Initiative and its impact on Central Asia. Selected from over 130 proposals, the papers brought together here ofer a complex and nuanced analy- sis of China’s New Silk Road project: its aims, the challenges facing it, and its reception in Central Asia. Combining methodological and theoretical approaches drawn from disciplines as varied as economics and sociology, and operating at both micro and macro levels, this collection of papers provides the most up-to-date research on China’s BRI in Central Asia. It also represents the frst step toward the creation of a new research hub at Nazarbayev University, aiming to forge new bonds between junior, mid-career, and senior scholars who hail from diferent regions of the world and belong to diferent intellectual traditions.
