The Crimean Tatars are a Turkic people who inhabited Crimean peninsula from at least the 13th century to Word War II, when they were deported to Central Asia by Stalin's orders. Although the Soviet regime "exonerated" them, it has denied permission for the Crimean Tatars to return to Crimea. At present, Crimean Tatars live in diaspora. Large numbers are living in Ozbekistan, or in the principal cities of the Turkish Republic. At various times, other Tatar groupings migrated as far as Helsinki, Finland and New York, while still others stayed in the Dobruja region of Romania. Poland has a small enclave

Sefika Gaspirali and the Turk Women's Movement in Russia is a drama about women who besides being bereft of basic human rights and freedoms, were daily subjected to abuse and even forced to sell their children to churches because of famine; it is about a part of humanity who despite being a part of an exploited and suppressed minority, and who despite all these disadvantages still managed to start a movement earlier than that of similar types in many western countries, and about a movement that became a political feminist force.
