Who are the Crimean Tatars?

By Moritz Küstner & Greta Uehling

Editor's Note: This fine, moving photo essay looks at one of Europe's minorities, the Crimean Tatars. Although these pictures were taken before 2020 we consider this journalism to be still very relevant today, as we explore people and places across the wider continent. Do read this - you'll meet a community trying to defend its rights and its culture in the face of Russian occupation.
