The investigation and the court established that the above individuals participated in the activity of the terrorist
organisation that extensively recruited people, promoted the ideas of radical Islam, and supported the creation
of an Islamic caliphate in the territory of the Russian Federation.
The “Islamic Party of Liberation” (Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami) is declared as terrorist in a number of countries,
and its activity is banned in Russia in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian
Federation of 2003. Aim of the organisation is toppling non-Islamic governments and establishing global
Islamic rule by creating a “Worldwide Islamic Caliphate”.

Chubarov told how to "cleanse" Crimea after deoccupation
old.qha.com.ua/en/politics/chubarov-told-how-to-quot-cleanse-quot-crimea-after-deoccupation/141046/
KYIV (QHA) -
The fact that Crimea will be returned to Ukraine is not in doubt, but after de-occupation,
hundreds of thousands of people must leave the peninsula, the Chairman of the Mejlis of
the Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov said on the air of "Channel 5".
“We must prepare for the implementation of various measures and steps that would
make the moment, when the Ukrainian order and authorities enters the Crimea,
really successful. It will be the "cleansing" of the peninsula. I would like to be
understood correctly. We are not going to throw out hundreds of thousands of
people, like Stalin did.”
Chubarov said that only certain people will have to leave the Crimea.
“But all those who have come to the Crimea, regardless of motivation, after
February 20, 2014 should leave immediately. This is at least 200 thousand people,
including the military, the prosecutor's office, the FSB, the Russian police. That is,
200 thousand people should leave with the last Russian soldier.”
According to the Chairman of the Mejlis, some people might leave at their own will.
“Of course, while the soldiers would be still on the ground, all these goblins who
betrayed Ukraine, the Crimean land, those who killed the Crimean Tatars will be the
first to escape. They will not stay there any longer, because they will not be spared.”

Crimean journalist got a suspended sentence for separatism
The trial in the case of Nikolai Semena was concluded
https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3420259
Kommersant (https://kommersant.ru/archive/online/57) of 22 September 2017, 17:33
Two and a half years suspended sentence – such verdict was handed on Friday by the court to the
journalist of the website “Krym.Realii” (a project of the Ukrainian editorial office “Radio Svoboda”
(Radio Liberty)), Nikolay Semena. He was found guilty of committing a crime under part 2 of Art. 280.1
of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (call for violation of the territorial integrity of the
Russian Federation). On the pages of the online publication Nikolay Semena called for launching a
“military operation” to “liberate Crimea”. The defence insists on his innocence and intends to appeal
the verdict.
On 22 September, the Zheleznodorozhny District Court of Simferopol imposed a sentence to journalist Nikolay
Semena. He was given two and a half years suspended sentence with a probationary period of three years for
making public calls for violation of the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation. In addition, he is
prohibited from engaging in public activities for three years. The state prosecutor demanded three years
suspended sentence for the journalist. In turn, Mr Semena did not admit his guilt, insisting that he was tried
for “free expression of opinion”.
As a reminder, the criminal case against the journalist was initiated (https://kommersant.ru/doc/3229394) by
the Directorate of the Federal Security Service for Crimea in spring of 2016. The calls, according to the
investigation, were made in the material “Blockade is a necessary first step towards the liberation of Crimea”,
published on 11 September 2015 on the website of “Krym.Realii”. The indictment contains several quotes
from the article. “The blockade should be the first step, a harbinger of liberation, it must be a clear-cut military
operation, and it must be accompanied by all necessary measures, including an operation to neutralise and
disrupt the Russian ferry across the Kerch Strait, Russian communications,” the text reads. The Court was also
provided with the results of a linguistic examination, which confirms that Nikolay Semena’s material contains
calls for “extremist activities” and “actions aimed at violating the territorial integrity of the Russian
Federation.”
Nikolay Semena’s attorney Alexander Popkov told Kommersant that the defence expected a guilty verdict as
it believes this case to be “political”, and the litigation “does not look like justice.” The defence intends to
appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court of Crimea. “We think that appeal is a step that must be taken in order
to further challenge the verdict, including in international courts,” said Mr Popkov.

Parental choice
Important initiative
A few weeks ago, an introductory conference on the creation of the All-Crimean Movement “Parents’
Initiative Ana-babalarnin Teshebbyusi” was held, which was attended by parents from different regions
of Crimea. Such consolidation is necessary for the formation of the future of children, the foundation of
which is formed in schools and kindergartens, the organisers emphasise.
[…]
It is telling that the situation with the Crimean Tatar language of instruction is much better. Why? Try to find
the answer for yourself…
According to preliminary data, this academic year the number of children who will receive education in the
Ukrainian language has become even less – 290 students, and the number of students with the Crimean Tatar
language of instruction, on the contrary, has increased. According to Ana-babalarnin Teshebbyus, that is 5,800
children.
What does the Parents’ Initiative offer? To begin with, to find and unite parents who understand that the future
of their people depends on their children and who these children will become. Such active Crimeans will be
armed with necessary knowledge in the field of education that they will be able to spread in their environment.
The organisers guarantee legal support and assistance for those who are determined to fight for their rights.

The organization “Educational Assembly”, one of the founders of which is the leader of nationalists
from S14 Evgeny Karas, received state funding from the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine.
The project of Evgeny Karas, the leader of the nationalist organization S14, received funding from the
state budget. This news was reported by “Hromadske” on 13 June.
On 8 June, the competition committee under the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine allocated 440
thousand UAH for three events of the non-governmental organization “Educational Assembly” (one of the
founders of which is Karas), and children’s camp of the NGO “Sich-S14” (one of the founders of which is
the brother of the S14 leader, Vladimir).
The following projects will receive the funding:
• “National-patriotic education is a guarantee of information security of the state”;
• “Historic re-enactment ‘Kholodny Yar’ as a means of the popularization of national historical
heritage”;
• “Law Consciousness as a fundamental basis of the modern national-patriotic education”;
• “All-Ukrainian remote center of national-patriotic education”.
“Hromadske” recalled that S14 was involved in the attacks on Roma camps in Kiev, and that Karas allegedly
admitted on the air of the TV channel that the organisation “dispersed the gay parade” in 2012. Also, the

Akhtem Chiygoz, Deputy Chairman of Mejlis of Crimean Tatar People
Time has come to form international platform for de-occupation of Crimea
01.08.2018 16:40
The international community made a huge mistake by allowing Russia to hold the largescale
image-building projects such as the FIFA World Cup. Why a rising tide of
persecutions of Crimean Tatars and Ukrainian patriots generally is to be expected upon
the completion of the Mundial, what destiny Russia has prepared for the Crimean Tatar
people, and what measures the international community should undertake towards deoccupation
of the peninsula – these are the issues Crimea Inform has discussed with
Akhtem Chiygoz, the Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People
- You stated recently that after the FIFA World Cup Russia may escalate
persecutions of pro-Ukrainian residents of Crimea. What is the basis of your
prediction?
-The overall pattern of these persecutions is, unfortunately, so invariable and evident, that
it allows us to speak of different types of terror towards people, the Crimea-Tatar people
in particular. Speaking of escalation, I mean that after the FIFA World Cup Putin’s hands
will be even more untied. Life has proved that image building-projects of this sort only
intensify his follies – remember that Russia invaded Ukraine straight after the Olympics
the international community had allowed to take place in that country.
The international community made a huge mistake by allowing Russia to hold such a
large-scale image-building project as the FIFA World Cup. In the event this World Cup
had been boycotted or moved to another country, Putin, mired in anger and humiliation,
would, of course, have proceeded with his criminal behaviour – in Ukraine in particular.
However, the international community would not have been perceived as adopting a
condoning attitude. Despite the boycott of the World Cup by all world leaders, in Russia
the very fact that it is being held is viewed as a victory and an amnesty to Russia for its
crimes. Thus, this amnesty means that it can continue with its persecutions and in fact
intensify them.
Russia views concessions by the international community as a weakness. Let’s face the
reality: the leaders of major countries today visit Russia and meet with Putin. However,
they have failed to reach an agreement with him to save the lives of those on hunger
strike in Russian prisons.
-What in your opinion is Moscow’s ultimate goal concerning the Crimean Tatars?
To suppress their resistance?
Annex 986
2/4
-I think their goals are more cynical and shocking. They have come to understand, during
these four years, that whatever methods they try, none of them will make the people
recognise the new regime and the new reality. Therefore, they aim at forcing the Crimean
Tatar people and all Ukrainian patriots out of Crimea. Abductions, murders, trumped-up
cases, pressure, and many other methods employed in Crimea against the people by the
occupying authorities will, in their opinion, continue to keep the people in fear and force
them to leave their homeland.
A process is presently underway which displays all the signs of leading to the ominous
return of those terrible times of Catherine II and Stalin, when hundreds of thousands of
Russians were brought to Crimea to force out and replace its indigenous population.
Today, government employees lose their jobs for the only reason that they refuse to
relinquish their Ukrainian passports. In addition to imposing Russian citizenship, the
invaders force the people to renounce their Ukrainian citizenship! The vast majority of the
Crimean population who keep their Ukrainian passports refer to the Russian passport as
an ‘Ausweis’ (note. IDs issued by Nazis to Soviet citizens living under occupation during
the World War II). It is a provisional document providing an opportunity to study or find
work, and to remain in Crimea eventually. This is not a passport for them, for people are
choosing their future, and they see this future as Crimea being a part of Ukraine. They
are not ready to relinquish their Ukrainian passport, crossing the line and surrender their
links with their continental motherland. This is why they are dismissed from their jobs, and
the vacancies are filled with government employees sent from Russia. A huge
programme is underway. According to our estimates around one million people are
financially stimulated to move from Russia to Crimea.
- Following your liberation from the Russian prison, you actively continue to inform
the international community about the situation in Crimea. What are the main
points you try to convey to the world?
Annex 986
3/4
- My main message is, above all, we have to determine conditions for the de-occupation
of Crimea. A relevant platform dedicated to Crimean issues has to be formed for this
purpose. I think the approach based on denying the annexation is not enough after four
years. Also, it is not sufficient to limit this platform to Ukraine only. This must be an
International project, so that a consolidated opinion can be formed and agreed by the
International community on the issue of the de-occupation of the Peninsula. To date, such
formats exist for Donbas issues, but nothing exists for Crimea.
One of the arguments I’ve heard whilst speaking with the representatives of European
institutions was the following: Putin will not take part in this platform. For me this
argument is not critical. In my opinion, we should get together without Putin and decide
how we are going to de-occupy Crimea. Obviously, Ukraine – initiating this format – must
participate in this platform, together with the Budapest memorandum guarantor countries
and other leading European and world countries. Among them, Mejlis should be
represented as a separate entity.
As to Russia’s participation, this is only a matter of time. I can offer an example: at the
recent ‘Normandy Four’ Foreign ministers’ meeting, the issue of the Crimean political
prisoners was discussed. Despite the fact that during all four years of occupation Russia
managed to sidestep the Crimean issue during International negotiations. Therefore, we
can see that international sanctions and pressure do have an effect, Russia is starting to
discuss issues it previously adamantly refused to debate. Our positions are becoming
increasingly strong. Therefore, it is important to create a de-occupation platform now –
even in the Putin’s absence.
Another key issue I keep on raising in my speeches and during meetings in the West is
the insufficient effectiveness of international institutions in protecting human rights and
liberties. Their representatives, of course, are not allowed to visit Crimea, and this is a
strong argument. However, I think that the International community should tactically make
plans to force Putin to give these institutions the opportunity to operate in the Crimean
Peninsula today.
- On 19 June, trials in the “26 of February case” were completed in Crimea
resulting in five people receiving conditional sentences.
- I would not call “the 26 of February case” finished for various reasons. Initially, during
the investigation following the events of February 26, several people were targeted. Later
on, the occupying authorities singled out the so-called “Case of Organisers”, with me
being brought to trial and sentenced to 8 years in a maximum security penal colony. The
case of “perpetrators” – those who were given conditional sentences – was tried
separately. Before this, two of them, ie Ali Asanov and Mustafa Degermendzhi had spent
almost two years together with me in custody awaiting trial, and three more had signed a
Restriction of Travel order. I would like to mention that each one of these men endured
the process to the end with dignity and strength, whilst at all times maintaining the
reputation and honour of their people. However, hundreds of other protesters out of
dozens of thousands of those who had shown up to protest identified in the trial. And I

think that should a need arise the occupying authorities will review these files and bring
legal proceedings against those involved, as a means of pressure on the Crimean Tatar
people.
Another aspect: the “26 of February case” is deeply symbolic for us and for the invaders
alike. For Ukrainian patriots it means the start of our struggle against the occupation, for
liberty and human rights. For them it is like a red rag, a reminder that not everything can
be sold, and not everybody is ready to betray their homeland and their people. Also the
historical memory… Therefore, the 26 of February trial will only be finished for all of us
and for them upon full de-occupation of Crimea. Until then we’ll continue our struggle, and
they will carry out their revenge and persecute our patriots.
Reference information:
Akhtem Chiygoz has been the Deputy Chair of Mejlis of the Crimean-Tatar people since
2008. In 2015, he was arrested by the occupying authorities of Russia who pressed false
charges against him for organising a mass unrest on 26 February 2014. (A rally bringing
together thousands of people was held thas day in Simferopol in support of the territorial
integrity of Ukraine.) On 11 September 2017 he was sentenced to 8 years by the socalled
‘Supreme Court of Crimea’. Upon negotiations, involving President of Turkey
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Chyigoz and another political prisoner, the Deputy Chair of Mejlis
Ulmi Umerov, were deported to Turkey by the Russian Federation and subsequently
returned to Ukraine. Currently he lives in Kyiv.

15 August 2018 (updated: 9:08 a.m. 16 August 2018)
SIMFEROPOL, 15 August — RIA Novosti Krym. Rustem Nimetullaev, Deputy Chairman of the
regional non-governmental organisation “Qirim Birligi” (“Unity of Crimea”) and the Public Council
of the Crimean Tatar People called for the media to cover more the situation of Crimean Tatars on
the peninsula. This was his appeal at a press conference in the multimedia press centre of the
international news agency Rossiya Segodnya in Simferopol.
“We, living in our Crimea, in our state, are losing the info space. We must cover in the media the
situation of Crimean Tatars living in Crimea as widely as possible. And our situation is like this: the
people have become uninhibited, they understand that their voice is in demand, people are working,
doing business, schools are being built, the Cathedral Mosque is being built”, Nimetullayev noted.
The public activist also recalled that the Khan’s Palace in Bakhchisaray was now undergoing
restoration; when Crimea was part of Ukraine, its walls were, according to him, “rotten” and the roofs
“leaked”. “A group from the Mejlis*, which usurped the Bakhchisaray District at some time,
understood that it (the Khan’s Palace – editor’s note) was their private domain: excursions, souvenirs,
and so on. They were just making money. And no one was concerned about the vanishing historical
heritage,” he stressed.

SIMFEROPOL, 15 August - RIA Novosti Krym. The so-called “Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar
People”* has actually “usurped” the Kherson Region of Ukraine, Rustem Nimetullaev, Deputy
Chairman of the regional non-governmental organisation “Qirim Birligi” (“Unity of Crimea”) and
the Public Council of the Crimean Tatar People, stated at a press conference at the multimedia press
centre of the international news agency Rossiya Segodnya in Simferopol.
“The structure of the Mejlis* has completely usurped the Kherson Region and the Genichesky
District. And Crimean Tatars (from among the residents of the Kherson region – editor’s note) have
primarily suffered from this”, he complained.
The public activist recalled the so-called “uprising of transport operators” in the Genichesky District
last winter.
“Through the so-called Crimean permanent mission (“the permanent mission of the President of
Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea” based in Kherson – editor’s note) attempted to levy
tribute from transport operators. What do we see? People came out and appealed to President of
Ukraine Petr Poroshenko but there was no response”, Nimetullaev said. Besides, he said that the
current situation in the Kherson Region was “deplorable”.
“Every day we receive applications from Crimean Tatars living in Ukraine, and they ask us to
somehow influence the situation that has developed in the Genichesky District today. People are
frightened, there are now many groups, various armed formations”, the public activist noted and
added that the majority of Crimean Tatars in Ukraine do not support the narrative of the Mejlis*.

On 27 August, on the hospitable land of the Simferopol district in the resort village of Nikolaevka, a wonderful
event took place, symbolizing the indestructible friendship and unity of the three Slavic peoples - the First
Festival of Ukrainian culture in the Russian Crimea, “Obzhinki – 2017”. Note that this ancient folk holiday -
that symbolises a rich harvest and is held on the occasion of wheat harvesting and tying of the first sheaf, - is
typical not only for Ukrainians, but also for Russians, Belarusians, and representatives of other Slavic peoples.
The holiday was a success. Representatives of the creative teams of the Simferopol District and other regions
of the Republic of Crimea delighted the participants and guests with their performances. Folk songs were
sounded, dance groups performed, contests were played out, dishes of national cuisine were demonstrated. It
was interesting and cheerful for everyone: both adults and children.

According to Mikhail Makeev, “Crimea has always been and will be a real example of interethnic peace and
harmony, true friendship and unity of peoples. Local authority of the Simferopol region will always pay special
attention to this, support national communities in their creative, cultural and social endeavours. After all, the
traditions of Russians and Ukrainians, Belarusians and Poles, Crimean Tatars and Greeks, Karaites and
Armenians - in short, all those who live under the Crimean sky, work for the good of Simferopol District,
Crimea, Russia, - are equally dear to all of us.”

“Krymska Svitlytsia”: fighting for existence
https://ua.krymr.com/a/krymska-svitlytsya-borotba-za-isnuvannya/29505115.html
23 September 2018, 6:30 p.m. Olexander Golubov
The Ukrainian newspaper for Crimeans “Krymska Svitlytsia” was under threat of closure and it may
cease to exist from the beginning of next year. What problems did the newspaper have? How the
editorial office of “Krymska Svitlytsia” is going to fight for saving the publication? And what is
needed to save it?
To respond to these and other questions on the air of Radio Krym.Realii we have Andrey Shchekun,
general director of the Ukrainian state enterprise “National newspaper and magazine publishing house”, and
the editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Krymska Svitlytsia” Victor Merzhvinsky.
- Andrey, what is the reason for the difficult situation with the newspaper?
Our company specializes in cultural media. In total, we publish seven state-owned media outlets: five
magazines and two newspapers.
“Krymska Svitlytsia” is among them. In fact, all seven may lose their state registration certificates starting
from 1 January 2019. On 1 January 2016, the law on reforming state and municipal mass media came into
force and the Ministry of Culture [of Ukraine] should decide to withdraw from the co-founders of such
structures and transfer the rights to labour collectives. And the collectives are deciding how they work
further – as a business entity, as a non-state publication. Our editorial office made such a decision – the
labour collective at the meeting then recorded this protocol according to the procedure. The Ministry of
Culture [of Ukraine] didn’t make a decision on all seven of our media outlets, that is, it did not transfer the
rights to employees.
- And time passes…
We are talking about the elimination and destruction by the hands of the state authority of a single
Ukrainian language publication for the occupied territory
Andrey Shchekun
Shchekun: Three months left. Without the end of this procedure on the part of the Ministry of Culture [of
Ukraine], the Ministry of Justice [of Ukraine] has already warned us that it will deprive us of state
registration from 1 January. That is, we are talking about the elimination and destruction by the hands of the
state authority of a single Ukrainian-language publication for the occupied territory.
– We tried to contact the Ministry of Culture [of Ukraine] about what is happening, but the answers
couldn’t be obtained.
Annex 990
2
Shchekun: We also have a problem with it. Once the head of a state-owned enterprise was not even allowed
to enter the building of the Ministry of Culture [of Ukraine]. They shy away from solving this issue, even
accusing us that we allegedly do not want to reform. We ask: Where is the withdrawal order from the cofounders?
They don’t respond to emails. In fact, there is deliberate sabotage.
- Editorial Office of Radio Krym.Realii would like to emphasize that it is ready to provide
representatives of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine [of Ukraine] with the opportunity to comment
the accusations that have just been made.
Shchekun: I can’t say why they behave like this, but the conflict situation with the Ministry of Culture of
Ukraine arose immediately after Yevhen Nyshchuk came to the post of Minister. In 2017, they cut our
funding by 50% – out of 10 million hryvnias for seven outlets, only 5 million remained. Then we went on a
picket to the Cabinet of Ministers, we managed to defend some positions, in addition to funding. We can’t
understand who is making the decision there today. We have already applied to the Cabinet of Ministers to
transfer our state enterprise “National newspaper and magazine publishing house” from the Ministry of
Culture [of Ukraine] to the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting where there are a
publishing department and specialists. Everyone there understands our problems and supports us. The
Ministry of Culture [of Ukraine] replied that they didn’t see the expediency in such a step.
- Will there be enough subscribers’ money for the operation of “Krymska Svitlytsia”?
Shchekun: definitely not enough, although we hope to increase the subscription. All over the world,
including in Europe, such publications are supported at the state level. In France, funds are allocated from
the budget for socio-political newspapers. When you support Ukrainian cinema spending 500 million
hryvnias and can’t allocate only 8 million for seven print media outlets, something is clearly wrong. We will
picket the President’s Administration, the Verkhovna Rada, the Cabinet of Ministers, but not the Ministry of
Culture – we don’t want to waste our energy on them. You can’t solve the problem in two years – what can
we talk about here?
In December 2016 Deputy Minister of Culture of Ukraine Tamara Mazur commented on the situation
with the financing of the “Krymska Svitlytsia” newspaper is as follows:
- The newspaper “Krymska Svitlytsia” operates as part of the “National newspaper and magazine
publishing house”. It receives support from the state budget in the amount of 30%. We do not fully cover the
salary (of journalists of the newspaper – KR) and should not do so. Because a state-owned enterprise can
and should independently earn money and form a budget within its financial plan.
- Who is your audience, Victor? Is it possible to distribute the newspaper in Crimea?
The most important thing is that we have stayed afloat for 26 years, despite competing with other
Crimean media outlets
Viktor Merzhvinsky
Merzhvinsky: it’s clear that only those who can subscribe to “Krymska Svitlytsia” can read it. First of all,
this is a reader from the mainland of Ukraine. Secondly, these are Crimeans: we have Facebook page we
have an agreement with Wikipedia, where we publish the issues in electronic format. As our statistics show,
a reader from Crimea sees us and leaves comments. The most important thing is that we have stayed afloat
Annex 990
3
for 26 years, despite competing with other Crimean media outlets. We are currently forced to publish in the
format of only 8 pages, but we are trying to fill them with high-quality content. Over the past two years, we
have managed to create our own content, occupy our own cultural niche and make an exclusive product.
Shchekun: I would like to note that “Krymska Svitlytsia” was not re-registered under Russian law in the
occupied Crimea. Unfortunately, as a state structure, we cannot just distribute newspapers on the peninsula –
if philanthropists buy, we distribute them. This has already happened, especially if the issue concerns human
rights issues. There are daredevils who carry the “Krymska Svitlytsia” through checkpoints as individuals
and distribute it in Crimea. The newspaper is not banned, but the Russian regime, of course, is afraid of
everything pro-Ukrainian.
The only Ukrainian-language newspaper in Crimea, “Krymska Svitlytsia”, has been published on the
peninsula since 1992. The newspaper covered the life of the Ukrainian community in Crimea and was a
platform for local authors. It was financed from the budget of Ukraine. Since 2015, the “National newspaper
and magazine publishing house” of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine has stopped printing the newspaper
and signed an order to transfer the entire team to the mainland. Not everyone agreed to move.
Since July 2016, “Krymska Svitlytsia”, the socio-political and literary and cultural newspaper, has resumed
publication in print. On 14 October in Kiev, the newspaper’s website was presented. The new team is formed
entirely from Crimeans, who also count on subscribers of the publication.

Text: Elena Gusakova (Simferopol)
Ukrainians from different countries of the world have come to Crimea to learn the truth about life on the
peninsula and share it with their compatriots. This was announced by Anastasia Gridchina, Chair of the Non-
Governmental Organisation “Ukrainian Community of Crimea”.
Delegates from Germany, Poland, Italy, Bulgaria, Moldova, Transnistria, Lithuania and Georgia (18 people in
total) are planning to participate in the II Republican Congress of Ukrainian Compatriots.
The foreign guests have a very rich program. In the morning, they have already laid flowers at the monument
to the outstanding Ukrainian poet and writer Taras Shevchenko and went on an excursion to the Vera Roik
Museum of Ukrainian Embroidery. In addition, the delegates visited the former Ukrainian, and now the
Simferopol Academic Gymnasium. There, the children greeted them with melodic Ukrainian songs and poems
in the languages of the peoples living in the Crimea - German, Karaite, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Russian,
Belarusian and others. The cuisine for foreign guests is also prepared taking into account the local specifics:
in addition to the traditional Ukrainian borscht, Crimean Tatar Lula kebab and other national dishes are waiting
for them.
This is not the first visit to the republic of Ukrainians from the EU countries - some came to the last year forum.
And they have something to compare. According to Gridchina, the guests have positive impressions of Crimea.
The first thing they saw was a modern airport building, they learned about the launch of freight traffic on the
Crimean bridge, and were amazed at the large-scale construction of highways and social facilities.
Today, at the round table “Development of relations of Crimean Ukrainians with compatriots abroad”,
delegates will talk about changes in the region, make reports and adopt a final resolution.
- The purpose of the congress is to show the world that, despite all the prohibitions and threats from the
Ukrainian authorities on visiting Crimea for citizens from other countries, these threats do not work for them,
- Gridchina stressed. - People want to know the truth, the truth about the life of Crimean Ukrainians and about
the development of Crimea in general.

On 12 November, for the first time the delegates of the Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar People
gathered outside Crimea – in Kiev. This was not a session of the national representative
plenipotentiary body, but its conference […].

Nariman Dzhelyal, First Deputy Head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, spoke about the
conference’s composition.
For various reasons, around 20 delegates today are forced to live on the mainland and the rest
came from Crimea.
Nariman Dzhelyal
“About a third of delegates are here today – probably even more than a third – but there are a great
many activists of the national movement here today. These are people who are now actively fighting,
protecting the interests of the Crimean Tatar people, prisoners of conscience, the integrity of Ukraine.
They are attending court sessions, raising money to support the families of the prisoners of
conscience. For various reasons, around 20 delegates today are forced to live on the mainland and the
rest came from Crimea”.

Refat Chubarov stressed that the Crimean Tatar self-governing authorities need to find ways to make
decisions, on the hand, not as a session, on the other hand, accounting for the interests of all delegates.

- Moreover, we have made a statement about the powers of certain delegates of the Qurultay,
there are twenty of them, whose actions and deeds have defied the principles that lie at the heart of
the Qurultay’s work, failing to comply with the decisions of the Qurultay and those of the Mejlis, and
breached Ukrainian law when it comes to ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens in temporarily
occupied territories. We cannot expel these people – the Qurultay does that – but it was stated at the
Qurultay’s conference that they dismissed themselves from the office of delegates. We have basically
formalised what already is.

Ali Ozenbash, Chairman of the Review Committee of the Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar People, is
convinced that the emergency rules of procedure of the representative body of Crimean Tatars may
have been developed earlier.
Any Parliament should have a regulation on a state of emergency, emergency situation. We
have none.
Ali Ozenbash
– The Conference a priori cannot be formed from delegates from the same organisation. Let’s say it
was a meeting rather than a session. There was no quorum for that. We should give credit to the
courage of those who came from Crimea. My view is that any Parliament should have a regulation
on a state of emergency, emergency situation. We have none – when the regulation was elaborated,
no one thought about that. But since the occupation took place, such a regulation should have been
passed right after that. The Mejlis may have done that: even if [this matter] is to be addressed at a
session of the Qurultay, it is it [the Mejlis] that should submit it. However, this regulation has not
been reviewed or adopted to this day. But the Chairman still declared a state of emergency on 26
April 2016 and stated that he would assume full authority. He did assume it, but not so much when it
comes to responsibility as I take it.

This is reported by the Idel.Realii portal with reference to the wife of one of the defendants. According
to the woman, the defendants themselves applied for the admission of their relatives as public
defenders. Judge Yuri Klubkov motivated the refusal by the fact that the relatives had no legal
education, and, therefore, they would probably drag out the process.
Earlier, at the proceedings in the case of twenty defendants accused of belonging to Hizb ut-Tahrir*
that ended in Ufa on 30 July, the relatives of the defendants who also had no legal education were
allowed to participate in the process as public defenders and attended trials after the judge declared it
closed.
Trials are now open at the Ordzhonikidze District Court in Ufa, with the defendants being defended
by appointed attorneys. One of the defendants in this case cooperated with the investigation, one
admitted his membership in Hizb ut-Tahrir* and the others did not admit their involvement in this

Yalta celebrated the 185th anniversary of well-known writer Stepan Rudansky
https://crimea-news.com/culture/2019/01/09/477241.html
9 January 2019, 10:18 | Culture
6 January 2019 marks the 185th anniversary of the birth of
the famous Ukrainian poet, translator, doctor and public
figure Stepan Vasilyevich Rudansky.
On this day, employees of the Yalta Historic and Literature
Museum, Yalta residents and guests of the city visited the
Polikurov Memorial and laid flowers on the grave of the
poet, whose name is engraved in the history of our city.
At 11:00 am, Alla Frolova, the Head of the Lesya Ukrainka Museum Department of the Yalta
Historic and Literature Museum, opened a commemorative meeting at the Polikurovsky
Memorial. In her welcoming speech, Alla Frolova recalled the significant contribution that
Stepan Rudansky made to the life of the city as a doctor, public activist, philanthropist. On the
initiative of Rudansky, the first city hospital and medical library, the first veterinary station and
the city market appeared in the city, a fountain with drinking water for the townspeople was
arranged on the land plot of Rudansky.
The next speaker was Miroslav Mysyak, a resident of Yalta, a journalist. With extraordinary
inspiration and sincere sympathy, he spoke about early years of Stepan Vasilyevich’s life, about
his rise and road traveled in such a short time. Miroslav Petrovich drew particular attention of
the audience to how many places in the city are associated with the name of Rudansky. Stepan
Vasilyevich has invested his strength and knowledge in many city projects. His wish was to
place memorial plaques at all these important sites.
The second part of the meeting was dedicated to Stepan Rudansky’s talent as a poet. Wishing to
refute the sad epitaph on the monument to Rudansky: “No one in a foreign land will cry on the
grave, only a cloud will cry on me in the rain”, - Dmitry Nesterovich, a member of the Yalos
literary studio, recited a heartfelt poem - his own appeal to his native poet.
Natalya Timofeeva, the Head of the Museum of M. M. Kotsyubinsky in Simeiz, recalled that
Stepan Rudansky, in addition to extensive translation and folklore work, discovered such a genre
of comic stories as humoresques. The humoresque Glasses turns 160 next month. Natalya
Yurievna performed this jubilee humoresque in brilliant Ukrainian language and acted out the
described plot.
Thanks to the guests who spoke, all those present were able to learn more about S.V. Rudansky,
to experience sincere gratitude and respect for him.
Finishing the hour of memories of Rudansky, Alla Frolova said grateful words to the deceased
poet, after which all those present laid bouquets of fresh flowers on the grave of Stepan
Rudansky. These bright flowers at a stone block with a bas-relief of the poet, against the
background of white snowy mountains, looked truly solemn. As bright lights, they will attract
Annex 996

the attention of casual visitors for a while. Perhaps someone who has approached will carefully
read the name on the monument and also decide to learn more about this amazing person.
After laying flowers, the participants of the commemorative meeting went down to the alley
below, where Yevgeny Maksimovich Grigoruk is buried. Evgeny Maksimovich is also a jubilee
today. 6 January 2019 marks the 120th anniversary of his birth. His grave is one of the four
graves preserved in its original form at the Polikurovsky Memorial. A modest but solid
monument on the very border of the memorial cemetery has a personal signature on the top
cover, and a noticeable and honourable dedication is engraved along the entire side: “To the
Friend of Book”.
At the monument, Alla Frolova told the audience about the life and work of E.M. Grigoruk,
about his contribution to the development and popularization of printing. Grigoruk was a
pioneer, an innovator: it was he who stood at the origins of the printing business in Malorossia
and the Russian Empire.
Scarlet carnations were brought in memory of Yevgeny Maksimovich and laid on his grave.

the First Mufti of Crimea, Poland, Lithuania and Belarus Noman Çelebicihan will be held today in the mosques
of the peninsula. This was reported by the press service of the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Crimea.
“On 22 February, duas (prayers) in memory of Noman Çelebicihan, First Mufti of Muslims of Crimea, Poland,
Lithuania and Belarus, will be held in the Crimean mosques. The Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Crimea
urges all Crimeans to honor the memory of the legendary figure, whose fate was inextricably linked with
Crimea and its future. On 24 February, a commemorative event will take place in Sevastopol, near the
Vosstavshykh square, where flowers will be laid at the bas-relief of Noman Çelebicihan”, - reported the
Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Crimea.
Noman Çelebicihan (1885-1918) - Crimean Tatar politician and public figure, the first chairman of the
government of the Crimean People’s Republic, organizer of the first Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar People,
the First Mufti of Muslims of Crimea, Lithuania, Poland and Belarus. He is also known as the author of the
poem “Ant etkenmen” (“I’ve pledged”), which became the national anthem of the Crimean Tatar people.
Çelebicihan advocated the equality of all peoples living in Crimea. “Multicolored roses, lilies, tulips grow on
the Crimean Peninsula. And each of these graceful flowers has its own special beauty, its own special delicate
aroma. These roses, these flowers are peoples living in Crimea: Tatars, Russians, Armenians, Jewish people,
Germans and others. The goal of the Qurultay is to bring them together, to make a beautiful and graceful
bouquet of them, to found a real civilized Switzerland on the beautiful island of Crimea.”, he said in his keynote
speech before the opening of the Qurultay.
Çelebicihan was killed on 23 February 1918 in Sevastopol.

Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the
March in Ukraine
Five years after the Maidan uprising, anti-Semitism and fascist-inflected
ultranationalism are rampant.

(Reuters/ Gleb Garanich)
F ive years ago, Ukraine's Maidan uprising ousted President Viktor Yanukovych,
to the cheers and support of the West. Politicians and analysts in the United
States and Europe not only celebrated the uprising as a triumph of democracy,
but denied reports of Maidan's ultranationalism, smearing those who warned
about the dark side of the uprising as Moscow puppets and useful idiots. Freedom
was on the march in Ukraine.
Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of
basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West's initial euphoria. There are neoNazi
pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups,
book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.
These stories of Ukraine's dark nationalism aren't coming out of Moscow; they're
being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE);
Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon

Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights
Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is
losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate
with impunity.
Five years after Maidan, the beacon of democracy is looking more like a
torchlight march.
A NED-NAZI BATTALION IN THE HEART OF EUROPE
"Volunteer Ukrainian Unit Includes Nazis." -USA Today, March 10, 2015
The DC establishment's standard defense of Kiev is to point out that Ukraine's far
right has a smaller percentage of seats in the parliament than their counterparts
in places like France. That's a spurious argument: What Ukraine's far right lacks
in polls numbers, it makes up for with things Marine Le Pen could only dream of
-paramilitary units and free rein on the streets.
Post-Maidan Ukraine is the world's only nation to have a neo-Nazi formation in
its armed forces. The Azov Battalion was initially formed out of the neo-Nazi
gang Patriot of Ukraine. Andriy Biletsky, the gang's leader who became Azov's
commander, once wrote that Ukraine's mission is to "lead the White Races of the
world in a final crusade ... against the Semite-led Untermenschen:' Biletsky is now
a deputy in Ukraine's parliament.
In the fall of 2014, Azov-which is accused of human-rights abuses, including
torture, by Human Rights Watch and the United Nations-was incorporated into
Ukraine's National Guard.
While the group officially denies any neo-Nazi connections, Azov's nature has
been confirmed by multiple Western outlets: The New York Times called the
battalion "openly neo-Nazi," while USA Today, The Daily Beast, The Telegraph, and
https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/neo-nazis-far-right-ukraine/

Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine I The Nation
Haaretz documented group members' proclivity for swastikas, salutes, and other
Nazi symbols, and individual fighters have also acknowledged being neo-Nazis.
In January 2018, Azov rolled out its National Druzhina street patrol unit whose
members swore personal fealty to Biletsky and pledged to "restore Ukrainian
order" to the streets. The Druzhina quickly distinguished itself by carrying out
pogroms against the Roma and LGBT organizations and storming a municipal
council. Earlier this year, Kiev announced the neo-Nazi unit will be monitoring
polls in next month's presidential election.
In 2017, Congressman Ro Khanna led the effort to ban Azov from receiving U.S.
arms and training. But the damage has already been done: The research group
Bellingcat proved that Azov had already received access to American grenade
launchers, while a Daily Beast investigation showed that US trainers are unable
to prevent aid from reaching white supremacists. And Azov itself had proudly
posted a video of the unit welcoming NATO representatives.
(Azov isn't the only far-right formation to get Western affirmation. In December
2014, Amnesty International accused the Dnipro-1 battalion of potential war
crimes, including "using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare:' Six
months later, Senator John McCain visited and praised the battalion.)
Particularly concerning is Azov's campaign to transform Ukraine into a hub for
transnational white supremacy. The unit has recruited neo-Nazis from Germany,
the UK, Brazil, Sweden, and America; last October, the FBI arrested four
------
California white supremacists who had allegedly received training from Azov.
This is a classic example of blowback: US support of radicals abroad ricocheting
to hit America.
FAR RIGHT TIES TO GOVERNMENT
"Ukrainian police declare admiration for Nazi collaborators" -RFE, February 13, 2019
Speaker of Parliament Andriy Parubiy cofounded and led two neo-Nazi
organizations: the Social-National Party of Ukraine (later renamed Svoboda), and
Patriot of Ukraine, whose members would eventually form the core of Azov.
Although Parubiy left the far right in the early 2000's, he hasn't rejected his past.
When asked about it in a 2016 interview, Parubiy replied that his "values" haven't
changed. Parubiy, whose autobiography shows him marching with the neo-Nazi
wolfsangel symbol used by Aryan Nations, regularly meets with Washington think
tanks and politicians; his neo-Nazi background is ignored or outright denied.
Even more disturbing is the far right's penetration of law enforcement. Shortly
after Maidan, the US equipped and trained the newly founded National Police, in
what was intended to be a hallmark program buttressing Ukrainian democracy.

The deputy minister of the Interior-which controls the National Police-is
Vadim Troyan, a veteran of Azov and Patriot of Ukraine. In 2014, when Troyan
was being considered for police chief of Kiev, Ukrainian Jewish leaders were
appalled by his neo-Nazi background. Today, he's deputy of the department
running US-trained law enforcement in the entire nation.
Earlier this month, RFE reported on National Police leadership admiring Stepan
Bandera-a Nazi collaborator and Fascist whose troops participated in the
Holocaust-on social media.
The fact that Ukraine's police is peppered with far-right supporters explains why
neo-Nazis operate with impunity on the streets.
STATE-SPONSORED GLORIFICATION OF NAZI COLLABORATORS
"Ukrainian extremists celebrate Ukrainian Nazi SS divisions ... in the middle of a major
Ukrainian city"-Anti-Defamation League Director of European Affairs, April 28, 2018
It's not just the military and street gangs: Ukraine's far right has successfully
hijacked the post-Maidan government to impose an intolerant and
ultranationalist culture over the land.
In 2015, the Ukrainian parliament passed legislation making two WWII
paramilitaries-the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the
Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UP A)-heroes of Ukraine, and made it a criminal
offense to deny their heroism. The OUN had collaborated with the Nazis and
participated in the Holocaust, while the UPA slaughtered thousands of Jews and
70,000-100,000 Poles on their own volition.
The government-funded Ukrainian Institute of National Memory is
institutionalizing the whitewashing of Nazi collaborators. Last summer, the
Ukrainian parliament featured an exhibit commemorating the OUN's 1941
proclamation of cooperation with the Third Reich (imagine the French
government installing an exhibit celebrating the Vichy state!).
Torchlight marches in honor of OUN/UPA leaders like Roman Shukhevych (a
commander in a Third Reich auxiliary battalion) are a regular feature of the new
Ukraine. The recuperation even extends to SS Galichina, a Ukrainian division of
the Waffen-SS; the director of the Institute of National Memory proclaimed that
the SS fighters were "war victims:' The government's embrace of Bandera is not
only deplorable, but also extremely divisive, considering the OUN/UPA are
reviled in eastern Ukraine.
Predictably, the celebration of Nazi collaborators has accompanied a rise in
outright anti-Semitism.
"Jews Out!" chanted thousands during a January 2017 march honoring OUN
leader Bandera. (The next day the police denied hearing anything anti-Semitic.)
That summer, a three- day festival celebrating the Nazi collaborator Shukhevych

capped off with the firebombing of a synagogue. In November 2017, RFE
reported Nazi salutes as 20,000 marched in honor of the UPA. And last April,
hundreds marched in L'viv with coordinated Nazi salutes honoring SS Galichina;
the march was promoted by the L'viv regional government.
The Holocaust revisionism is a multi-pronged effort, ranging from governmentfunded
seminars, brochures, and board games, to the proliferation of plaques,
statues, and streets renamed after butchers of Jews, to far-right children camps,
where youth are inculcated with ultranationalist ideology.
Within several years, an entire generation will be indoctrinated to worship
Holocaust perpetrators as national heroes.
BOOK BANS
"No state should be allowed to interfere in the writing of history." -British historian
Antony Beevor, after his award-winning book was banned in Ukraine, The Telegraph,
January 23, 2018
Ukraine's State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting is enforcing the
glorification of Ukraine's new heroes by banning "anti-Ukrainian" literature that
goes against the government narrative. This ideological censorship includes
acclaimed books by Western authors.
In January 2018, Ukraine made international headlines by banning Stalingrad by
award-winning British historian Antony Beevor because of a single paragraph
about a Ukrainian unit massacring 90 Jewish children during World War II. In
December, Kiev banned The Book Thieves by Swedish author Anders Rydell
(which, ironically, is about the Nazis' suppression of literature) because he
mentioned troops loyal to Symon Petliura (an early 20th-century nationalist
leader) had slaughtered Jews.
This month, the Ukrainian embassy in Washington exported this intolerance to
America by brazenly demanding the United States ban a Russian movie from
American theaters. Apparently, the billions Washington invested in promoting
democracy in Ukraine have failed to teach Kiev basic concepts of free speech.
ANTI-SEMITISM
"I'm telling you one more time-go to hell, kikes. The Ukrainian people have had it to
here with you." -Security services reserve general Vasily Vovk, May 11, 2017
Unsurprisingly, government-led glorification of Holocaust perpetrators was a
green light for other forms of anti-Semitism. The past three years saw an
explosion of swastikas and SS runes on city streets, death threats, and vandalism
of Holocaust memorials, Jewish centers, cemeteries, tombs, and places of
worship, all of which led Israel to take the unusual step of publicly urging Kiev to
address the epidemic.

Annex 998
Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine I The Nation
Public officials make anti-Semitic threats with no repercussions. These include: a
security services general promising to eliminate the zhidi (a slur equivalent to
'kikes'); a parliament deputy going off on an anti-Semitic rant on television; a farright
politician lamenting Hitler didn't finish off the Jews; and an ultranationalist
leader vowing to cleanse Odessa of zhidi.
For the first few years after Maidan, Jewish organizations largely refrained from
criticizing Ukraine, perhaps in the hope Kiev would address the issue on its own.
But by 2018, the increasing frequency of anti-Semitic incidents led Jewish groups
to break their silence.
Last year, the Israeli government's annual report on anti-Semitism heavily
featured Ukraine, which had more incidents than all post-Soviet states combined.
The World Jewish Congress, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and 57
members of the US Congress all vociferously condemned Kiev's Nazi glorification
and the concomitant anti-Semitism.
Ukrainian Jewish leaders are also speaking out. In 2017, the director of one of
Ukraine's largest Jewish organizations published a New York Times op-ed urging
the West to address Kiev's whitewashing. Last year, 41 Ukrainian Jewish leaders
denounced the growth of anti-Semitism. That's especially telling, given that many
Ukrainian Jewish leaders supported the Maidan uprising.
None of these concerns have been addressed in any meaningful way.
ROMA POGROMS
"'They wanted to kill us': masked neo-fascists strike fear into Ukraine's Roma." -The
Guardian, August 27, 2018
Ukraine's far right has resisted carrying out outright attacks on Jews; other
vulnerable groups haven't been so lucky.
Last spring, a lethal wave of anti-Roma pogroms swept through Ukraine, with at
least six attacks in two months. Footage from the pogroms evokes the 1930s:
Armed thugs attack women and children while razing their camps. At least one
man was killed, while others, including a child, were stabbed.
Two gangs behind the attacks-Cl4 and the National Druzhina-felt comfortable
enough to proudly post pogrom videos on social media. That's not surprising,
considering that the National Druzhina is part of Azov, while the neo-Nazi Cl4
receives government funding for "educational" programs. Last October, Cl4
leader Serhiy Bondar was welcomed at America House Kyiv, a center run by the
US government.
Appeals from international organizations and the US embassy fell on deaf ears:
Months after the United Nations demanded Kiev end "systematic persecution" of
the Roma, a human-rights group reported Cl4 were allegedly intimidating Roma
in a joint patrol with the Kiev police.

LGBT AND WOMEN'S-RIGHTS GROUPS
"'It's even worse than before': How the 'Revolution of Dignity' Failed LGBT
Ukrainians."-RFE, November 21, 2018
In 2016, after pressure from the US Congress, the Kiev government began
providing security for the annual Kiev Pride parade. However, this increasingly
looks like a Potemkin affair: two hours of protection, with widespread attacks on
LGBT individuals and gatherings during the rest of the year. Nationalist groups
have targeted LGBT meetings with impunity, going so far as to shut down an
event hosted by Amnesty International as well as assault a Western journalist at a
transgender rights rally. Women's-rights marches have also been targeted,
including brazen attacks in March.
ATTACKS ON PRESS
"The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns a Ukrainian law enforcement raid at
the Kiev offices of Media Holding Vesti...more than a dozen masked officers ripped open
doors with crowbars, seized property, and fired tear gas in the offices." -The Committee
to Protect Journalists, February 9, 2018
In May 2016, Myrotvorets, an ultranationalist website with links to the
government, published the personal data of thousands of journalists who had
obtained accreditation from Russia-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Myrotvorets labeled the journalists "terrorist collaborators:•
A government-tied website declaring open season on journalists would be
dangerous anywhere, but it is especially so in Ukraine, which has a disturbing
track record of journalist assassinations. This includes Oles Buzina, gunned down
in 2015, and Pavel Sheremet, assassinated by car bomb a year later.
The Myrotvorets doxing was denounced by Western reporters, the Committee to
Protect Journalists, and ambassadors from the G7 nations. In response, Kiev
officials, including Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, praised the site: "This is your
choice to cooperate with occupying forces;' Avakov told journalists, while posting
"I Support Myrotvorets" on Facebook. Myrotvorets remains operational today.
Last fall brought another attack on the media, this time using the courts. The
Prosecutor General's office was granted a warrant to seize records of RFE anticorruption
reporter Natalie Sedletska. An RFE spokeswoman warned that Kiev's
actions created "a chilling atmosphere for journalists," while parliament deputy
Mustafa Nayyem called it "an example of creeping dictatorship:•
LANGUAGE LAWS
"[Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk] also made a personal appeal to Russian-speaking
Ukrainians, pledging to support...a special status to the Russian language." - US
Secretary of State John Kerry, April 24, 2014

Ukraine is extraordinarily multilingual: In addition to the millions of Russianspeaking
eastern Ukrainians, there are areas where Hungarian, Romanian, and
other tongues are prevalent. These languages were protected by a 2012 regionallanguage
law.
The post-Maidan government alarmed Russian-speaking Ukrainians by
attempting to annul that law. The US State Department and Secretary of State
John Kerry sought to assuage fears in 2014 by pledging that Kiev would protect
the status of Russian. Those promises came to naught.
A 2017 law mandated that secondary education be conducted strictly in
Ukrainian, which infuriated Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece. Several
regions passed legislation banning the use of Russian in public life. Quotas
enforce Ukrainian usage on TV and radio. (This would be akin to Washington
forcing Spanish-language media to broadcast mostly in English.)
And in February 2018, Ukraine's supreme court struck down the 2012 regional
language law-the one Kerry promised eastern Ukrainians would stay in effect.
Currently, Kiev is preparing to pass a draconian law that would mandate the use
of Ukrainian in most aspects of public life. It's another example of Kiev alienating
millions of its own citizens, while claiming to embrace Western values.
THE PRICE OF WILLFUL BLINDNESS
These examples are only a tiny fraction of Ukraine's slide toward intolerance, but
they should be enough to point out the obvious: Washington's decision to ignore
the proliferation of armed neo-Nazi groups in a highly unstable nation only led to
them gaining more power.
This easily predictable outcome is in marked contrast to Washington's
enthusiasm over the "Revolution of Dignity:' "Nationalism is exactly what
Ukraine needs;' proclaimed a New Republic article by historian Anne Applebaum,
whose celebration of nationalism came out right around the time that Ukraine
green-lighted the formation of white-supremacist paramilitaries. A mere four
months after Applebaum's essay, Newsweek ran an article titled "Ukrainian
nationalist volunteers committing 'ISIS-style' war crimes."
In essay after essay, DC foreign-policy heads have denied or celebrated the
influence of Ukraine's far right. (Curiously, the same analysts vociferously
denounce rising nationalism in Hungary, Poland, and Italy as highly dangerous.)
Perhaps think-tankers deluded themselves into thinking Kiev's far-right phase
would tucker itself out. More likely, they simply embraced DC's go-to strategy of
"my enemy's enemy is my friend:' Either way, the ramifications stretch far
beyond Ukraine.

America's backing of the Maidan uprising, along with the billions DC sinks into
post-Maidan Kiev, make it clear: Starting February 2014, Ukraine became
Washington's latest democracy-spreading project. What we permit in Ukraine
sends a green light to others.
By tolerating neo-Nazi gangs and battalions, state-led Holocaust distortion, and
attacks on LGBT and the Roma, the United States is telling the rest of Europe:
"We're fine with this." The implications-especially at a time of a global far-right
revival-are profoundly disturbing.􀁴

According to Vasily Stolyar, bishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the conflict was provoked by

The supporters of the so-called “Orthodox Church of Ukraine” attacked the parishioners and used physical
force against the local senior priest in an attempt to take over a temple of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
The incident occurred on 16 March in the village of Luka-Meleshkovskaya in the Vinnitskiy district.
According to Vasily Stolyar, bishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the conflict was provoked by the
supporters of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. First, they locked Vasily, the senior priest, in the church and
then started a verbal and physical altercation.

“I went alone to the representatives of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine to talk to them and listen to

a priest of Metropolitan Simeon, arrived, he ordered to throw me outside the church fence. This is how
they propose to solve disputes peacefully”, Stolyar wrote on his Facebook page.
The priest noted that afterwards the aggressors from the Orthodox Church of Ukraine physically

Simferopol, 27 March – RIA Novosti Krym. Russian security forces conducted another operation in Crimea
to neutralize individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism. In the course of the initiated criminal cases,
officers of the regional FSB Directorate together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Guard
of the Russian Federation detained 20 individuals involved in the activity of Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami*, an
international terrorist organization banned in Russia. According to data available to the law enforcement
officials, the detainees “used conspiracy measures during the meetings to spread terrorist ideology among the
inhabitants of the peninsula, recruited Crimean Muslims”.

“With the tacit consent of the Ukrainian authorities, these sects [Hizb ut-Tahrir] spread in Crimea among the
Crimean Tatar people. Apparently, it was beneficial for the Ukrainian authorities, according to the principle
of ‘divide and rule’,” Ayder Ismailov, Deputy Mufti of Crimea, said in a commentary to the Russian
Information Agency “Novosti Crimea”. “Therefore these structures were quite free: they distributed
literature, held assemblies, rallies and even international conferences. They had registered print publications.
They created public organisations (women’s, youth, human rights), as well as religious communities
independent of the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Crimea, seizing mosques. Thus, they received a
legitimate platform for promoting their ideas among the masses”.

After the reunification of Crimea with Russia, the position of Islamic radicals changed dramatically. Crimean
law enforcement officers regularly identify and detain individuals associated with the activities of Hizb ut-
Tahrir*. For example, in early 2015, residents of Sevastopol Ruslan Zeytullaev, Ferrat Sayfullaev, Rustem

said Ruslan Balbek, a member of the State Duma Committee on Religious Affairs.
Earlier, the Crimean Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation announced that on Wednesday, in the
course of the initiated criminal cases, searches of the supporters of the organization Hizbut-Tahrir al-Islami*
prohibited in Russia were carried out in the Crimea.
“In Crimea, the network of the extremist organization “Hizb ut-Tahrir”* continues to exist, which was
actively developing during the Ukraine times. The Ukrainian authorities were unable to find an antidote and
ban a religious organization promoting harmful ideology in Crimean society. Today, the remnants of the
extremist network continue to operate clandestinely on the peninsula. They are financed from outside”,
Balbek told RIA Novosti.
At the same time, according to him, supporters of two extremist organizations “Hizb ut-Tahrir”* and the
“Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People”* actually joined their efforts on the peninsula.
The “Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People”* does not have support among the Crimean Tatars, therefore Hizb
ut-Tahrir* provides the headcount in their anti-Russian actions. Despite the fact that one organization is of a
religious nature, and the other is about nationality, they have common overseas funding sources, just
different cashiers”, the deputy said.
* Extremist organizations banned in Russia.

According to the indictment, in September 2015 construction worker Muslim Aliyev, the chairman of the
Alushta community of Muslims, created the Bakhchisaray cell of the terrorist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir al-
Islami banned in Russia in order to perform preparatory work aimed at changing the constitutional system of
the Russian Federation and creating the theocratic state the “World Islamic Caliphate”. He recruited his
partner Enver Bekirov to join the group, and also flower seller Vadim Siruk and Emir-Usein Kuku, employee
of the Yalta mayor’s office. Bekirov was instructed to create groups of students (khalki) and teach them the
ideology of the terrorist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami.
[…]
Expert opinions, which were confirmed by the witness testimonies, indicate that meetings between Aliyev,
Bekirov, Siruk and Kuku recorded on the video are agitation and propaganda meetings between the leaders
of several Crimean cells of the terrorist Hizb ut-Tahrir, the prosecutor said.

SIMFEROPOL, 20 April - RIA Novosti Krym. The restoration of historical justice and the “removal of
groundless accusations” against the Crimean Tatar people were named as one of the main results of the
implementation of the presidential decree on the rehabilitation of Crimean peoples, signed after the
reunification of the Republic with Russia. This is stated in the resolution adopted on Saturday by the
participants of the V congress of the interregional non-governmental movement of the Crimean Tatar people
“Kyrym”.

The resolution notes that the decree “On measures for the rehabilitation of the Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek,
Crimean Tatar and German peoples and state support for their revival and development” signed by Russian
President Vladimir Putin on 21 April 2014 has become “one of the important events in the life of Crimean
Tatars”.
“In pursuance of this decree, large-scale work is being carried out in the Republic on the arrangement, social
and cultural adaptation of rehabilitated citizens” - the document emphasizes.

As examples of the “significant results” of the implementation of the decree, the construction of a memorial
complex in the village of Suren of the Bakhchisaray District, dedicated to the memory of the victims of
deportation, and the Cathedral Mosque, broadcasting of the Crimean Tatar TV channel “Millet” and “Vatan
Sedasy” radio station in the Republic, large-scale celebration of religious holidays, are noted, as well as the
allocation of 10 billion RUB from the federal budget for the arrangement of the repressed until 2020.
During the Great Patriotic War, Crimean Tatars, Greeks, Bulgarians, Germans, Armenians - 20 nationalities
in total - were forcibly deported from Crimea. The Crimean Tatars suffered the most - over 180 thousand
people were evicted from the peninsula. After the reunification of Crimea with Russia, President Vladimir
Putin issued a decree on the rehabilitation of the Crimean Tatar and other peoples affected by the
repressions.

FSB detained eight supporters of the banned sect Hizb ut-Tahrir in Crimea

10 June 2019
Monday. Early morning. Armed guys in balaclavas and caps with the FSB stripes knocked on eight houses
simultaneously in Alushta, Belogorsk and Simferopol region of Crimea. They are holding search warrants
issued in the course of criminal cases.
A serious Article: “Organization of and participation in the activity of a terrorist organization” (Part 1, Part 2
of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), namely Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami (banned in
the Russian Federation).
[…]
At one address, they find documents on the registration of a local religious organization “’Alushta’ Muslim
Community”. Apparently, the “Hizbs” thought they could, like in Ukraine, simply create individual
communes, capture mosques from traditional Islam and openly carry out propaganda of their ideas. This
didn’t work out. The papers will be attached to the criminal case [materials].
As well as the forbidden literature, for example the book “The Muslim Personality” by Muhammad Ali Al-
Hashimi. It is included into the list of extremist materials; reprints of that book were included in the list of
banned [materials] even three times (in 2007, 2009 and 2014) by decisions of different courts.
[…]
The FSB officers take out a box, and there are CDs, brochures, leaflets, books from the list extremist
[materials] in it. Many were published in Lebanon – that’s where the majority of literature was published that
had been disseminated by the “Hizbs” in Crimea under Ukraine.
“Instruction for a Crimean resident” is the title of one found leaflet. In it, there are instructions how to
communicate with the law enforcement bodies, explanations about the procedure for conducting searches.

On 27 March of this year, the security forces detained 20 “Hizbs” in the Simferopolsky and Belogorsky
districts, which turned out to be the largest special operation since the reunification of Crimea with Russia.
According to information available to the FSB, members of the group were spreading terrorist ideology
among the inhabitants of the peninsula at the meetings and recruited Muslims using conspiracy measures.

[…] As a result, 24 Islamic extremists were put on trial.
In response to these detentions, “Hizb” sympathizers launched a wave of coordinated one-man pickets and
flash mobs expecting to start international repercussions. For example, an active phase of a flash mob to
support radicals took place in Crimea in April - their relatives and associates posted photos on social

It is also interesting how warmly people perceive Ukrainian culture. It is worth recalling that the
Republic is an example of an almost ideal relationship between cultures, but in the Ukrainian press
every now and then, there are accusations of infringement of the rights of ethnically Ukrainians in
Crimea. Such festivals clearly prove the opposite. Residents and guests of the peninsula capital,
notwithstanding the cultural characteristics of their peoples, joined the holiday together with their
children and friends. Funny contests, Ukrainian flavor, lively songs and dances did not leave anyone

Anton Gerashchenko, a former member of the Verkhovna Rada from the “Narodniy Front” [“People’s
Front”] and a non-staff adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov, became his
deputy. This was reported on the website of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The publication says that Gerashchenko will engage in legislative support for the activities of the Ministry of
Internal Affairs and, among other things, will interact with the Rada and parliamentary committees. In
addition, the duties of the former member of the parliament include “dialogue” with media and ensuring the
openness of the ministry’s work.
Gerashenko is on the Russian sanctions list and is one of the initiators of the creation in 2014 of the
Ukrainian website “Mirotvorets”. This portal publishes personal data of people who are considered guilty of
crimes against the national security of Ukraine by the authors of the website. In particular, in 2016, the
former member of the parliament announced the appearance in the “Mirotvorets” database of more than
7,000 Ukrainian and foreign journalists “accredited” in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic.

Ukrainian website “Mirotvorets” announced termination of its activities. This site regularly expanded the
database of those who allegedly threaten the territorial integrity and national security of Ukraine.
“Today, on 10 December 2019 at 6:00 p.m., to the delight of ... the militants and Russian mercenaries, as
well as on demand of some objective circumstances, we completely stop the “Mirotvorets” servers,” the
message says.
“Mirotvorets” website itself and all its “mirrors” will be closed.
“Mirotvorets” was created in 2014 on the initiative of Anton Gerashchenko, at that time adviser to the Head
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov. Gerashchenko called it a project to collect data
on “terrorists” and “separatists”, created by a group of like-minded people to help in the work of the Ministry
of Internal Affairs and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), UNIAN (Ukrainian Independent Information
Agency of News) reported. “Mirotvorets” has been repeatedly accused of publishing personal data of people.
On 10 October, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky during a media marathon said that he would not
close “Mirotvorets” website, which includes “enemies of Ukraine”, as the head of state is not engaged in
shutting down any sites. He also noted that he does not know who owns “Mirotvorets” website, but added
that this is not the current Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko, who initiated
the creation of this website. According to Zelensky, Gerashchenko told him that he had withdrawn from this
project.
On 17 October, the UN Monitoring Mission in Ukraine called on deputies of the Verkhovna Rada to initiate
shutting down of the site, said the Deputy Head of the mission Benjamin Moreau at a meeting of the
parliamentary committee on freedom of expression, “Ukrainskie Novosti” [“Ukrainian News”] said.
According to Moreau, the publication of such information as, for example, a home address on “Mirotvorets”
puts people at risk of attack.
Many famous persons are registered in the “Mirotvorets” database. In particular, journalist Vladimir Pozner,
TV anchor Andrey Malakhov, pilots and flight attendants of an Airbus A321 aircraft landed in a cornfield in
the Moscow Region, founder of the rock group Pink Floyd Roger Waters and many others.

7 January 2020 5:54 p.m.
Avdet (Crimean Tatar Avdet – “the return”) is a modern socio-political and cultural bilingual (Crimean
Tatar-Russian) newspaper, published since 15 June 1990. This is the first independent media outlet since
the deportation of Crimean Tatars to Central Asia.
The newspaper was created by the Organization of the Crimean Tatar National Movement (OKND). The
creator of the name is Mustafa Dzhemilev.
The first editorial office was located in Bakhchisaray: first in the private house of Server Kerimov, later in the
house of Ilmi Umerov. The first issues were printed in Riga, where they were taken by courier A. Suleymanov.
Subsequently, the newspaper began to be printed in the Bakhchisaray printing house. Then the editorial office
moved to Simferopol, where it was located in the building of Crimea Foundation until 2014.
Initially, the newspaper was published twice a month, then every two weeks, and later became weekly. The
print edition uses the Crimean Tatar Cyrillic alphabet, and the official website uses the Latin alphabet.
After the events of 2014, the licenses of the Crimean media outlets issued by the Ukrainian authorities were
valid until 1 April 2015. The newspaper did not manage to be registered as a media outlet in Russia. Since,
under Russian law, newspapers with a circulation of less than 1 000 copies can be published without
registration, the circulation of the newspaper was reduced to 999 copies and its retail sale in booths was
stopped. The paper version of the newspaper is distributed among a limited circle of subscribers. The main
emphasis of the editorial office is on updating the website. The editorial office also lost its premises in the
building of Crimea Foundation located at 2 Schmidt Street in Simferopol, since the building was confiscated
from this charitable organization.
The newspaper proclaimed the issue of preserving the identity, spirituality, ideology of Crimean Tatars, as
well as other relevant issues for this people its main goal. The media outlet also examines the problems of
restoring the statehood of Crimean Tatars and contains historical and ethnographic intelligence.

SIMFEROPOL, 7 January – RIA Novosti Krym. A thousand pilgrims are going to make a Hajj from Crimea
thanks to the increase in quota, Albert Kangiev, Chairman of the Republican State Committee for Inter-ethnic
Relations and Deported Citizens, told TASS.
Mr Kangiev says that the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Crimea and the Crimean Hajj operator “AVNTur”
are charged with the organisation and transfer of the group of pilgrims from Crimea. The thousand
pilgrims have an opportunity to visit Muslim holy places in Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia in part at the
expense of budget funds.
Earlier in April 2019, Ayder Ismailov, Deputy Mufti of Crimea, told journalists that Russia’s Hajj mission and
the Saudi authorities were negotiating over direct pilgrimage voyages from Simferopol, which would make
the pilgrims’ travel much easier.
In 2014, Crimea sent 150 pilgrims, with this figure doubling in 2015. In 2017, more than 400 people went on
a Hajj from Crimea and 600 people in 2018. In 2019, Crimean pilgrims had a quota for 800 people. Around
300 thousand people preaching Islam (mostly Crimean Tatars) live in the republic.
Hajj is a pilgrimage to Muslim holy places in Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia associated with the life and
works of Prophet Muhammad. Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam, and every Muslim should make a Hajj at least
once in his or her lifetime.

In Ukraine, it was decided to remove the so-called Crimean Tatar battalion named after Noman Çelebicihan*
and the civil association Asker*, which are based in the Kherson Region, from the checkpoints. For many
years, the members of the national battalion, created by Crimean businessman Lenur Islyamov, tried to
control cargo transportation and passenger traffic across the border with Crimea, under the guise of “fighting
the occupation”.
However, after the change of power in Kiev, the “activists” were not welcomed with open arms. After the
Ukrainian checkpoints were reconstructed according to the instructions of the new President Vladimir
Zelenskiy, the “Nomans” and “Askerians” were expelled from there, saying that they were not state services,
which meant that they had no right to be at the border.
“The young people who were on the blockade and were doing their volunteer duty were not needed by the
country,” said Lenur Islyamov, trying to move the Kiev officials to pity.
Apparently, the “victorious” march of the battalion named after Noman Çelebicihan, promised by its
commander, did not take place.
Komsomolskaya Pravda remembered how it all began.
FROM BLOCKADE TO BATTALION
The prototype of the national battalion was the so-called “civil blockade of Crimea”, which began in the fall
of 2015. The initiators were the activists of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People* banned in the Russian
Federation, who stated that Ukrainian entrepreneurs should stop trading with Crimea. This, they say, would
help “to return the peninsula” sooner. The idea was supported by several other extremist organizations, for
example, battalions Aidar* and Azov*, as well as the Right Sector* (all are banned in the Russian
Federation).
Annex 1015

At first, the idea was supported by the fighters of Azov
This great company set up tents near the checkpoints and off we go: the roads near three checkpoints
(Chaplynka, Chonhar and Kalanchak) were blocked with concrete blocks. The railway line to Armyansk
suffered the same fate.

The blockade was led by Russian businessman Lenur Islyamov. Back in the Ukrainian Crimea, he had a
media holding and transport enterprises, and in Moscow - a bank and a number of other companies. After the
Crimean Spring, Islyamov became Vice-Prime Minister of the republic’s new government for a month and a
half, and then ran away because of millions of debts. He took the media holding with him, making his TV
channel the mouthpiece of the “civil blockade of Crimea”.
“We are the key to Crimea. Without this key, there is no Ukraine,” he boasted, promising to continue
“becoming more radical”.
And indeed, it went from bad to worse. The Mejlis, together with the Right Sector, decided that they could
inspect cars crossing the border. They checked cargo, documents, looked for “traitors” and “separatists”.
“Please tell me in which country is this possible?!” entrepreneurs outrage on air of Ukrainian media. “All
fees have been paid, documents have been received, but the car is not let in! And some group does this, not
the state.”
Annex 1015

All this was called the “food” or “economic” blockade of Crimea. It would seem to be sheer vigilantism, but
the state in the person of President Petro Poroshenko suddenly supports the campaign, and border guards
together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs were ordered to “ensure law and order during the campaign”.
BREAK LOOSE TO THE BLACKOUT
On the twenty-something of November, the “campaign” reached a new level: extremists blew up four towers
of power lines in Kherson Region, leaving the whole Crimea without electricity, which had been supplied to
the peninsula from Ukrainian power plants since Soviet times.

tower of the power line. Photo: Facebook/Amina Okueva
When the power engineers, together with law enforcement officers, came to the scene and tried to repair the
supports, the participants of the “blockade” staged a real circus with a brawl and showdown in the style of
street criminal “conflicts” of the 90s.

areas had passed to a gang of extremists.
In December, the Ukrainian government supported the blockade by passing an order on banning the supply
of goods and services to and from Crimea. The “blockade” activists greeted the resolution with applause.
You see, now we do not arbitrarily search cars here, we follow the execution of the highest decree!
In mid-December, members of the Right Sector refused to participate in the “civil blockade”, complaining
that the Mejlis members “removed them from making decisions”. And after a while Islyamov announced the
creation of a battalion named after Noman Çelebicihan. The battalion was mainly formed by the participants
of the “blockade”.
“WE ARE GOING TO ATTACK”
The fighters, according to the commander, will “bring the liberation of Crimea closer”. Islyamov threatened
with partisan war:
“The mission of this battalion is to strike at places that only we know. We know all the trails and springs in
Crimea,” boasted the battalion commander to journalists in 2015.
Annex 1015

The members of the national battalion were confident that sooner or later Crimea would be returned to
Ukraine
The plans were solid: to enroll as many as 560 people in the battalion. Islyamov at first confidently said that
by 15 January 2016, the battalion would be registered as a military unit, and it would become part of the
Armed Forces of Ukraine.
By mid-January, Islyamov boasted that 250 people had already joined the unit.
JIHAD?
“We’re waiting for your children here. This is a liberation jihad for us. Yes, some of you will shed blood,
yes, some of you will die, but we need to fight! We’ll have to do it, at the cost of blood of certain people as
well”, Islyamov said in 2015, when “advertising” his battalion.
Lenur Islyamov (in the middle) calls for blood to be shed but is not going to fight himself. Screenshot from
the video message
From time to time, he changed his rhetoric, assuring that the battalion members “do not plan to undermine
peaceful people” but only “is preparing for the liberation of Crimea” and “guard Ukraine”. And in one of the
interviews, the battalion commander honestly admitted that he wants a war for the peninsula, but he himself
is not ready to participate in it:
“I belong to the category of people who do not believe in peaceful liberation of Crimea. Not because I
myself am ready to fight for Crimea, but because I see and understand that there will be no other option.”
It turns out that Islyamov calls on others to die for their ideas, but he himself does not plan to die in battle,
because then who will receive the money?
TURKISH UNIFORM FOR MILITARY ADVANCE
The battalion commander said that he was supported by the Turkish Ministry of Defense, as well as the
Crimean Tatar communities. In particular, in February 2016, Turkish uniform was handed over to the newly
minted “military”: combat boots, thermal underwear and other details of uniform.
“We brought this uniform as humanitarian aid to our compatriots who are leading the resistance. It was
passed on by a person whose name we cannot reveal. Thus, we support the Crimean Tatars in the fight
against Russia,” - said an unknown person in a balaclava in Turkish, commenting on a generous gift to
journalists.

Media representatives filmed the formation in front of the Turkish guests. The promised five hundred people
are not observed, several dozen repeat in chorus the familiar mantra:
- Glory to Ukraine!
- Glory to the Heroes!
- Glory to the Nation!
- Death to the Enemies!
- Ukraine above all!
- Allahu Akbar!
The formation shouts: “Glory to the Heroes! Allahu Akbar!”
It is not the first time for Lenur Islyamov to receive Turkish support: a lot of money from Turkey had been
invested in his TV channel. The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People banned in the Russian Federation was
also financed by Turkey.
By the way, even before the creation of the battalion, the headquarters of the so-called civil blockade of
Crimea was visited by Turkish ultra-right nationalists from the organization Grey Wolves (they preach neofascism
and once attempted to kill Pope John Paul II).

CONFLICT WITH THE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE
In February 2017, a fight broke out between the military and the “Nomans”. As the members of the
“battalion” and members of Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People banned in the Russian Federation
complained that they were attacked “out of nowhere”. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine called these
statements a complete fake:
- The unit, which is part of the operational command South, was equipping positions, when suddenly armed
representatives of the illegal formation arrived there. “They were detained and disarmed,” said the Ministry
of Defense of Ukraine, thereby admitting that the “Nomans” are acting contrary to the laws of
“Nezalezhnaya” [Ukraine].
However, then a video appeared on the web, where the military kind of “apologized” for the damage caused
to the illegal battalion. In the meantime, the Ministry of Defense offered the “Nomans” to legalize and sign
contracts with the Armed Forces of Ukraine or National Guard. But none of the members of the national
battalion wanted to do this.
After the fight, the police found many weapons at the Chonhar base of the “battalion”. The photo was
published by the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs Ilya Kiva - the one who tried to disperse the
“activists” who blew up the power lines. He calls them only as a gang.

Police of “Nezalezhnaya” [Ukrainian] initiated criminal proceedings for illegal handling of weapons under
Article 263 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, but the results of the investigation are still missing.
“Yes, we could have had weapons,” Lenur Islyamov calmly admitted to journalists.

Ruslan Balbek, State Duma deputy from Crimea, claims that the clash was caused by the conflict between
Mustafa Dzhemilev and Islyamov, who did not share the multimillion tranche from Turkey.
“It is beneficial for Dzhemilev to get rid of Islyamov as the main competitor for the opportunity to receive
huge financial resources from abroad in order to use the Crimean Tatar card in anti-Russian actions,” Balbek
said.
“This conflict is far from the only one,” Komsomolskaya Pravda sources in the security forces say. “It
turned out loud, appeared in the media. But clashes between legal servicemen and this, God forgive me,
“battalion” occur regularly.
FAILURE OF MARINE BLOCKADE
In addition to the food and energy blockade, Islyamov often announced a marine blockade. He repeatedly
promised “to attack ships carrying goods to Crimea with small boats” and even stuttered about “more
interesting methods”.
One of these methods was the failed sabotage in the Sea of Azov. In May 2016, Islyamov bought a fishing
felucca, with which he wanted to throw a curtain of steel cables with a total length of 1.5 kilometers into the
sea. The ships would have wrapped them on the screws. A breakdown would be inevitable. Fortunately, the
felucca was too old and did not sail: the vessel broke down, and one of the crew members did not want to
participate in the terrorist attack and surrendered to the Russian border guards.
They wanted to dump the steel cables in the Kerch Strait in order to stop shipping: the cables would be
wrapped on the screws. Photo courtesy of the failed saboteur

Artists and craftsmen from Turkey arrived in Crimea to paint the Cathedral Mosque under construction near
the Simferopol Water Reservoir. This was reported to RG by the press service of the Spiritual Directorate of
Muslims of Crimea, which had signed a works contract.
“Today specialists met with Hajji Emirali Ablaev, Mufti of Muslims of Crimea,” reported the Spiritual
Directorate of Muslims of Crimea. “The Turkish specialists will familiarise themselves with the design and
drawings of the mosque under construction, after which the craftsmen will commence their work, in
particular marbling the mosque, artistic moulding, and painting the premises.
The Muslim crescent is going to be installed near the entrance to Simferopol.
Painting works in the mosque’s premises are going to start in spring when the weather allows it. The
specialists involved have vast experience in performing such works at places of worship in Turkey.
In 2019, the constructors completed rough finishing works in the interior of the mosque, faced the main
dome with lead, and constructed a fountain. They started installing stained glass windows, improving the
territory, and arranging utility systems.
It is to be recalled that the Cathedral Mosque of Crimea, with a total area of 5.7 thousand m2, has been
constructed in the area of the Simferopol Water Reservoir since September 2015. As concerns taking part in

Salah, the main hall can house at the same time 1,500 men and 900 women on the balcony. The minarets, 49
metres in height and crowned with gold-platted crescents, are going to be finished with white ornamental
marble, and the façade of the guest house and the administrative building is going to be decorated with handmade
tiles. The project cost at the first stage was assessed at RUB 2 billion. The mosque was planned to be
commissioned in the spring of 2019 but now the deadline is pushed back to 2020, and there is no specific
opening date of the cathedral.
In 2019, a new mosque, Kadir-Jami, opened its doors in Levadky near Simferopol; a mosque in the Ak-
Mechet micro-district in Crimea’s capital started admitting believers again after overhaul repairs were
performed and a minaret was erected.

On 22 February, members of the Crimean Tatar community of Sevastopol held a meeting on the
occasion of the 102nd anniversary of the death of Noman Çelebicihan, a Krym.Realii
correspondent says.
The meeting was opened with the national anthem performed by the children’s choir.
The organizers showed a documentary about the events of the beginning of the last century in
Crimea and the activities of Çelebicihan. The film was accompanied with a text in the Crimean
Tatar language.

The methodologist of the Crimean Tatar Museum of Cultural and Historical Heritage Shefika
Abduramanova spoke at the meeting.
“When they say ‘patriotism’, they mean military patriotism for some reason, they mean symbols of
statehood, not of the nation. But there is also a humane patriotism. The higher the social and
economic formation, the more successful patriotism becomes. Çelebicihan gave a new form of
patriotism. He said: “The more I love my people, the more I respect other peoples.” Çelebicihan
wanted equality for all peoples, he said that there should be no hegemonic nation in Crimea.”,
Abduramanova said.
A representative of the Crimean Muftiate held a short prayer right at the meeting. The
representative of the Muftiat said that Chelebidzhikhan was not only a political and public figure,
but also the first Mufti of Muslims of Crimea, Poland, Lithuania and Belarus.
The Russian authorities in Sevastopol were represented by Vladimir Kolesnikov, Head of the
Division for Ethnic and Religious Affairs of the Department of Public Communications. Children
from the Crimean Tatar ensemble performed songs in their native language.
Flowers were laid to the memorial plaque installed on the building in Sevastopol that used to be the
prison where Çelebicihan died.
Noman Çelebicihan (1885-1918) - Crimean Tatar writer, author of the lyrics to the national anthem
of the Crimean Tatar people, religious, public and political figure who stood at the origins of the
first Qurultay (“Congress”) of the national revival of the Crimean Tatar people in 1917-1918.
Noman Çelebicihan was born in 1885 in the family of mullah. He studied in Bakhchisaray, Istanbul
and Saint Petersburg, participated in educational and revolutionary organizations of the Crimean
Tatar youth. Çelebicihan is the author of the national anthem of the Crimean Tatar people - “I’ve
pledged!” After the February Revolution, he was elected Mufti of Crimea, and later - the chairman
of the first Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar People. He was arrested by the Bolsheviks in January
1918, killed on 23 February by sailors in the Sevastopol prison. The body of 33-year-old Noman
Çelebicihan was thrown into the sea.
In 2018, a memorial plaque was installed in the city of Ichnia in the Chernihiv region to mark the
100th anniversary of Çelebicihan’s death.

Yalta celebrated the 149th anniversary of Lesya Ukrainka’s birth
https://crimea-news.com/culture/2020/02/26/614428.html
26 February 2020, 12:01 | Culture
On 25 February, the Yalta Historic and Literature Museum celebrated the birthdays of a
talented married couple: Ukrainian writer Lesya Ukrainka and ethnographer Kliment Kvitka.
It was 149 years since Lesya Ukrainka’s birth, and 140 since Kliment Kvitka’s birth. A
traditional event called “Seven Strings” was dedicated to this date. Alla Frolova, the Head of the
Museum of Lesya Ukrainka Department of Yalta Historic and Literature Museum organized
and conducted this celebration.
The event began at the monument to Lesya Ukrainka. Yulia Rudnik, the Director of the Yalta
Historic and Literature Museum, Valeriy Grebenyuk, the Representative of the Ukrainian
Community in Crimea, Natalya Timofeeva, the Head of the Museum of M.M. Kotsyubinsky in
Simeiz, Valentina Ovseichuk, a teacher of the Ukrainian language at the Yalta secondary
school-lyceum No. 9 addressed the famous writer with congratulations and welcoming speech.
Everyone had a memory of events in life, which were echoed by the lines of their beloved
poetess. At the monument to Lesya Ukrainka, students recited her poems in Ukrainian.
After the laying of flowers, the guests were invited to the halls of the museum, where a
theatrical performance was to be held. The audience watched the story of life and love of
Larisa Kossach. The images of young Lesya, Sergei Merzhinsky, Clement Kvitka have returned
from oblivion.

Travels to Yalta, important acquaintances, warm feelings were reflected in the letters and works
of the poetess, parts of which were read in theatrical recitation format performed by 1st year
medical college students. Folk songs were performed by the exemplary ensemble of
bandura players “Krymskie Proleski”. The story about the most dramatic events in the
life of Lesya Ukrainka was accompanied by the melodies played on the piano by the
talented performer Ekaterina Stetsun.
The hour-long performance highlighted the most important events in the life of the poetess:
birth, development of will, first inspiration, first love, discovery of talent, pinnacle of selfrealisation,
last love and a step into eternity. The story ended, but the memory of it remained,
as the lines of the wonderful poetess and playwright, her voice in the centuries, remained in the
world.

Akhtem Chiygoz, former political prisoner, deputy chairman of Mejlis of
Crimean Tatar people
I handed Dzhemilev the lists of 3,000 people who were ready to fight in
Crimea
26.02.2020 17:48
Six years ago, on February 26, 2014, many thousands of people held a rally outside the
building of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the significance
of which will still be appreciated in the modern history of Ukraine.
This opinion is held by a former political prisoner, deputy chairman of the Mejlis of the
Crimean Tatar people, MP Akhtem Chiygoz. Our conversation with him is about the real
situation in Crimea today, the first item in a strategy for the de-occupation of the
peninsula, and about attempts to bribe Chiygoz in the Simferopol pretrial detention
center to lure him into taking the side of the new regime in Crimea.
Question: Today some experts in Ukraine call for a "sober and realistic"
assessment of the situation in Crimea and advise that people not hope for its
return to Ukraine's control in the coming decades. The other day, wellknown
journalist Vitaliy Portnikov compared Crimea with the former Baltic
republics where patriots had to fight for seats in the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union to protect their land and preserve their language. Do you share
these concerns about Crimea?
Annex 1019
2/9
Answer: Ukraine should understand that it is obliged to liberate Crimea and to be at the
forefront of this process, and then the world will not be able to shut up. Because only
Ukraine can do it. And actually, it is the duty of the state to fight for its territory.
Therefore, Ukrainian politicians should stop building the illusion that someone else will
solve the Crimean issue for them, that it is enough for them to observe the process from a
distance, agreeing on something or not. But if any representative of the government or
part of society today says that he or she is "tired of the war" and that the problem of
Crimea can be "frozen" for a while, then let him or her prepare that all the horrors that
befell Crimea and eastern Ukraine will reach Kyiv and Lviv. Because Russia represents a
monster that exists at the expense of blood, both in the literal and figurative sense of the
word, and the appetites of this monster are growing. Therefore, every day, without
forecasts, pessimism and fortune-telling on coffee grounds, every effort must be made to
resist this aggression. I have great respect for the opinions of experts and journalists, but
what we need now when we look at Crimea is realistic and sober assessments.
Q: Do you know anything more about the situation in Crimea?
A: Enough to make sober conclusions. Every day I have dozens of phone calls with Crimea
and I know the sentiments of people there. In addition, we sometimes underestimate the
dynamism of the processes taking place in the world. We already see signs of the fall of
Russia, for example, in matters of satisfying imperial ambitions. Therefore, do not tell me
about the Baltic states, which had been striving for liberation for 50 years, and the
collapse of the Soviet Union, which had lasted for ages. Russia does not cope with the
subordination of Ukraine, it does not extend its status as a great power. Blood is pouring,
but we see Russia's failures in an attempt to establish itself by the strength of its weapons
in foreign territories.

For example, they said in Russia yesterday that it maintains very close friendly relations
with Turkey. I never believed that, I thought that it was a temporary, situational
relationship. Until now, Turkey has allegedly fought with the Assad regime, and it was
understood that the weapons and military instructors there are from Russia. Today we see
that the conflict between these countries is moving into an open form. And what will
happen to this "friendship" now?
On the other hand, Turkey today has truly sincere intentions of friendship with Ukraine,
and we strive for these intentions to become practical and have humanitarian and
economic benefits for Ukraine.
Take the Tomos. It is no secret that Dzhemilev's request to Erdogan - to support Ukraine
in the issue of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine receiving the Tomos - played a role in
solving this issue. Of course, Putin is enraged by this situation, as well as the supply of
arms from Turkey. And the most important thing is that Turkey always emphasizes that it
does not recognize Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea.
Therefore, I urge analysts to use not only analogies from history, but to pay more
attention to the real facts of today. I urge them to talk with people from Crimea, as we do
with our colleagues. Firstly, it is very important to maintain the spirit of resistance of our
citizens in Crimea. The second aspect is the aggravation for Russia of the issues of
maintaining Crimea. And thirdly, our entire politics needs to be built with a focus on the
liberation of the occupied Crimea.
Q: This is already similar to a strategy for the de-occupation of Crimea. What
place should the arms issue occupy in the strategy?
A: One of the first ones. But when we say that Crimea must be liberated by force of arms,
this does not mean that we will go there in tanks. But we need to have tanks.
Annex 1019
4/9
Q: Do you consider it appropriate to spend money on tanks if Ukraine
excludes the military path of the de-occupation of Crimea?
A: I say once again that the military path and the strengthening of the military positions
of the state are not the same things. Weapons as a show of strength are one of the most
powerful tools for liberating Crimea. A state that demonstrates its modern weapons may
cool the ardor of the enemy. For example, American Javelins cooled Russia's aggressive
intentions. At the same time, Ukrainian weapons raise the spirits of citizens in the
occupied territories and show our European partners that we will never retreat from our
own territory. This is the position of the state, supported by determination and strength.
Q: Are Ukrainian sailors captured in the Kerch Strait also a demonstration of
determination and strength?
A: Yes, they were shot at, they were taken prisoner because there is a war going on. But
look, the whole of Crimea, despite brutal repressions, undertook to defend the Ukrainian
military, which means to help Ukraine. Our activists arrived even at the Lefortovo prison.
This mobilized our entire society in Crimea and gave a signal to Ukraine that they are
waiting for it and supporting it, despite the fifth year of the occupation of Crimea. And
this mobilized Ukraine? Why did international courts make decisions in favor of Ukraine?
Why did the Hague Tribunal decide that Russia should immediately release Ukrainian
prisoners of war? And now the command of the headquarters of naval sailors says that
they will no longer go to the Sea of Azov. But who will go to the Sea of Azov instead of
you? Turkey or NATO? Today, our government, unfortunately, does not demonstrate the
necessary decisiveness, citing the fact that the highest value of the state is human life. But
in any nation and in any religion the highest value is HOW a person has lived his life.
Q: We figured out with weapons. Should the issues of cultural and social
integration be included in the Crimea de-occupation strategy?
Annex 1019
5/9
A: I think one of the dangers that the government demonstrates today is the substitution
of important components of victory with humanitarian issues. For example, they call for
the provision of pensions to people in occupied territories, water supply to Crimea, the
release of political prisoners at any cost. You can ask Balukh, and he will tell you that
prison was his choice. And that was my choice. This is our front of the struggle that we
waged in prison against the occupier. Of course, the issue of lawyers' support for political
prisoners is important, and it needs to be worked out, but it does not belong to strategic
ones. This is one of the aspects of the routine work of any state. Another thing is
strategically important - for society to mobilize. Then there will be resistance to the
occupier and support for this resistance. You can compensate for the costs of lawyers to
some extent - this money will not be enough to cover the costs. Another thing is important
- a society mobilized to resistance, then the society itself will help families, children, and
lawyers. Thus, we have been supporting our political prisoners and their families for five
years. Our society in Crimea offers organized resistance to the occupier, and this is one of
the main aspects of the struggle for Crimea. Otherwise, it would not have been mentioned
in the information space.
Q: Is Crimea mentioned in the information space?
A: Yes, it is. We really see it - both in the information field of Ukraine and in the thoughts
of our people in Crimea. The authorities need to strengthen the spirit of the struggle and
show solidarity with Crimea through their actions and decisions, but now, unfortunately,
there are fewer messages of this kind.
Q: Do you see a different development path for Crimea, for example, under
the joint control of several countries, for example, Ukraine, Turkey, Russia?
Or, for example, under the control of the UN?
A: No, the future of Crimea is only with Ukraine. Everything else is an illusion - the world
today will not reconsider the issue of the status of Crimea, although there should be some
forms of influence on the situation. There are many international institutions for this - the
OSCE, the UN, the EU - but today they are demonstrating their failure. We provide them
with all the necessary information, we press on them, but they are not able to fulfill their
main role: to ensure the safety of people in the occupied territories. Their tools do not
work today, because the West is faced with a new phase of fascism, transformed from the
Soviet authoritarian regime, but in a more bloody and aggressive form. Only Ukraine
itself can cope with the task of returning its territories now. It is already strong enough,
and the authorities need to further strengthen the positions gained over the previous five
years.
Annex 1019
6/9
Q: In what areas is Ukraine strong today?
A: The fact that it showed the willingness to continue the fight for its independence. That
it was able to build all the pillars of its independence. The latest major achievement is the
receipt of the Tomos, religious independence. Now there is an attempt to undermine these
pillars. Moreover, they hit both government institutions and public self-awareness. But I
am convinced that it is impossible to turn Ukraine towards the Russian colony, because
the debate in society today is not on ideological, but on strategic issues. Ukraine will never
return to colonial dependence on Russia.
Q: Mustafa Dzhemilev said the other day that in 2014, Crimean Tatars were
ready to defend Crimea with weapons in their hands and there were allegedly
the lists of 3,000 people who were ready to fight against Russia.
A: I will tell you more. I handed him these lists of 3,000 people in February 2014. And
when they searched for these lists in my house during a raid, they even searched for them
under the floor. Then Mustafa came from Kyiv. I remember that checkpoints in Perekop
and Chonhar were still open, and there was a railway connection with mainland Ukraine.
He said that the issue of weapons from mainland Ukraine was being resolved, and in one
day we made a list of people who were ready to fight — there were about three thousand of
them. I did not make copies of the list, I handed over the original one to Dzhemilev, and
he took it to Kyiv, so they didn't find anything during the raid. In those days, by the way,
we were actively working on the creation of Crimean Tatar national self-defense units. All
men began to guard populated localities and places of compact residence of Crimean
Tatars. For example, Bakhchysarai was completely cordoned off by our guys.
Annex 1019
7/9
Q: Were the weapons needed to demonstrate strength?
A: No, not for demonstration. It was a clear intention to protect our land. So, if even one
military unit had begun armed resistance, tens of thousands would have stood with them
in the trenches. The military should have led the resistance, and Crimean Tatars were
ready to support them. Another thing is that we had provocations on the part of individual
military units, when their representatives proposed going to the unit and opening the
hangars with weapons. The commanders of these units were already in collusion with
Russian invaders. It was a clear provocation, and we did not resort to that. Because we
knew for sure that these commanders of military units and Russian illegal groups in
Crimea would say then that they were attacked and their weapons were taken away from
them, and we would be declared terrorists. Subsequently, the commanders of units in
which we were offered to "take" weapons had already served in the Russian army.
Q: And they still serve there?
A: No, they and people like them now serve on the far borders of Russia, in the "warm"
Siberian regions. And it is written in their personal files that they are unreliable and prone
to treason.
Q: So if at least one military unit had resisted...
A: Tens of thousands would have stood next to them.
Q: And history would go the other way?
A: For sure. We would not let Russia establish itself. Evidence of that is a rally on
February 26. I believe that on that day, the civilian population of Crimea fulfilled its
duties. Thanks to our rally, provocative political decisions were not made at a session of
the then legitimate Crimean parliament.
Annex 1019
8/9
Q: You were at this rally. What did people feel? Did you fear for tomorrow?
Q: I attended hundreds and thousands of such rallies for 25 years. And there was never
fear, including that day. People had an inner feeling of anxiety, and with that feeling they
got up and came from all over Crimea. When more than a thousand of us arrived to the
Crimean Supreme Council from Bakhchysarai, we already heard people shouting "Crimea
is Ukraine!" No one wrote slogans or banners for these people, no one forced them or
specifically taught them what to say and what to protest against. All of this came from
their hearts, because we always lived in Crimea with a feeling of danger from Russia. This
feeling of danger never left Crimean Tatars. Therefore, we were afraid of losing Ukraine,
and when the parliament session under the pressure of the rally did not take place, we
won. We really won a serious battle that day, and its significance should not be
underestimated. We stopped the separatists, and then the authorities and special forces
had to work.
Q: Who was on the other side of the rally and shouted "Crimea is Russia?"
A: I know for sure from the materials of my "case," and there are 54 volumes there, and no
one, of course, revised it — that "ordinary" Crimean residents were represented at the
rally, for example, by the Wagner private military company from Sevastopol, the Terek
Cossacks, also from Sevastopol, as well as marginal Cossack formations and pro-Russian
organizations such as Russian Community of Crimea, Russian Bloc, Russian Unity, which
successfully functioned in Crimea due to the inaction of the Crimean government and
Kyiv. My lawyer took pictures of two interesting references randomly hiding in the
materials of my "case," which confirm the presence of representatives of these entities on
the square. We beat them well that day, because they constantly tried to show their
strength against us. They had sticks, spray cans with various toxic substances. We
responded with force to force and cleared the area from this riffraff in 15 minutes.
Q: What happened the next day?
Annex 1019
9/9
A: On the night of February 26 to February 27, Russian special forces seized all the
administrative buildings of Simferopol. Over the next two days, Russian troops began to
enter Crimea mainly through the port of Crimea - the port of Kavkaz, and military
airports, including the Belbek airport, began to receive Russian aircraft. And the famous
Mamchur simply surrendered all the hangars, airstrip and observation towers, leaving
behind only a dining room and barracks.
Q: Do you think they acted not on the instructions given by high-ranking
officials?
A: What kind of instructions can be there if it is written in the military charter that you
must defend your territory if the enemy encroaches on it! It is necessary to shoot in this
case, rather than wait for instructions from the authorities. You didn't swear allegiance to
the chief of staff, the general, or the defense minister, you swore allegiance to the people
of Ukraine. Case closed. I consider all discussions on this subject to be demagogy.
Q: Why were you accused of organizing the rally on February 26?
A: After Dzhemilev and Chubarov were deported and denied entry to Crimea, they
persuaded me for a very long time into working for Russia. They offered everything:
fabulous money, opportunities, power. They thought that I could have a different price, a
higher one, but I could not explain in a clear way to them that I do not accept the betrayal,
first of all, of my principles. For me, the citizenship of Ukraine is not an empty phrase. I
demanded at every court session for three years that I not be called a citizen of Russia. I
demanded the recusal of judges and investigators. I stated that I did not accept and was
not going to accept the citizenship of this country. And they had to write in the verdict
that I am a citizen of Ukraine.
Q: Should February 26 be declared the day of Crimea's resistance to Russian
occupation?
A: Yes, it should. Together with my colleague Rustem Umerov, we collected the signatures
of more than a hundred MPs, including representatives of the mono-majority, for the
endorsement of a respective presidential decree. I am sure that February 26 will go down
in the history of the state of Ukraine as the Day of Crimea's Resistance to Russian
Occupation. Glory to Ukraine!

Oleg Steklov, 27 February 2020, 5:33 p.m. - REGNUM More than five years have passed since the
reunification of Crimea with Russia. Official Kiev still regards the peninsula as “its own”, and its inhabitants
as citizens of Ukraine. Battles do not subside at international venues: the topics of “infringement” and
“oppression” of the Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians in Russia are being discussed. Anastasia Gridchina,
Chair of the RNGO “Ukrainian Community of Crimea”, told in an interview to a REGNUM IA correspondent
about how things are in reality.

What does the “Ukrainian Community of Crimea” do today?
The Ukrainian Community of Crimea directed all its efforts to preserve Ukrainian culture in the Republic of
Crimea. We are engaged in the popularization of the Ukrainian language in a completely different way than it
was during the period when Crimea was part of Ukraine. Then the Ukrainian language was imposed, we are
trying to make it more attractive. We are trying to show the Ukrainian language from the other side - how
melodious it is, how beautiful it is.

[…]
Is your activity to promote Ukrainian culture in Crimea supported through the media?
Yes, of course - both by the republican authorities and at the public level. For example, we have the first
information portal in the Ukrainian language – “Pereyaslavska Rada 2.0” - broadcasting with the support of
the Head of the Republic of Crimea. The portal is in Ukrainian, and this is what makes it unique in Russia.
Anastasia Gridchina

The name of the portal, apparently, was chosen for a reason?
That is true. We want to reboot relations with Ukraine. We want Ukraine and Russia to be together. The
materials published on the portal are devoted to this, including those that I prepare myself.
[…]
How does official Kiev communicate with your public association?
We make every effort to preserve Ukrainian culture, Ukrainian language and ties with Ukraine. At the same
time, I am on the “Mirotvorets” website and persona non grata in Ukraine. The special services would be glad
to see me there.
I read a lot of fables on the Internet - about myself, about our Ukrainian organization in Crimea. Like, we are
bought and “paid for”. I believe that this flow comes from a very definite direction in Ukraine. Therefore, there
is no need to talk about adequate communication with the authorities of Ukraine and the social activists lured
by them.
At the same time, there are public figures who do not work for the power structures of Ukraine - we maintain
contacts with them. Naturally, we maintain relations with the citizens of Ukraine in Crimea. Moreover, these
citizens do not have any negative feelings about the fact that Crimea belongs to the Russian Federation.
[photo]
Does such an interesting relationship reflect on the perception of you in international venues?
Annex 1020

In addition to official Ukrainian delegations, delegations of social activists come to international venues, and
they have a positive attitude towards us. Some people sympathize, they are afraid to be near me and worry that
the joint photo might end up somewhere, so that sanctions might be applied to them at home.
Unfortunately, reprisals are possible-it has been “normal” in Ukraine for a long time. Nevertheless, on the
whole, our communication with them is going well.
The answer is predictable, but nevertheless: how does the official Ukrainian delegation react to your
participation in international events?
Negatively, very nervous. A scandal immediately begins. They are playing the “Crimean card”: allegedly,
Ukrainians in Crimea are being oppressed, the Ukrainian language is being oppressed. The situation is similar
for the Crimean Tatars. It comes to incredible fantasies.
Naturally, with such a “demand” created by them, I, as the Chair of the RNGO “Ukrainian Community of
Crimea”, is often invited to international venues. Vivid examples of such behavior of the official Ukrainian
delegation were demonstrated during my trips to the OSCE venue in Warsaw (in September) and in Geneva.
[…]
Now the Ukrainian authorities seem to be raising the question of the OSCE mission arriving in Crimea -
through Ukraine and getting acquainted with the “violations”. We are ready to meet with everyone, calmly
discuss everything, show and tell. The funny thing is that the Ukrainian authorities themselves stop their own
initiative - they allegedly cannot resolve the issue of the OSCE delegation entering Crimea through Ukraine.
And who is to blame for this situation? From the Ukrainian side, we hear that we are to blame.
Is it appropriate to raise the question of the state policy of the “post-Maidan” authorities of Ukraine
and their Western curators in relation to Crimea and the Ukrainian community of Crimea?
I think, yes. Judging by many facts, the Ukrainian authorities have more than one item of expenditure for
financing and other support for activities related to the Crimean theme. A number of Western projects are
specially “sharpened” to find the negative in the Crimea. This is done, in particular, by Radio Svoboda (a
foreign agent on the territory of the Russian Federation. - corr. note).
I constantly receive messages on social networks with threats, including physical violence. They threaten to
kill me and my relatives almost up to the tenth generation. I no longer pay attention to it.
Another thing is offensive: I deal with issues of support and development of Ukrainian culture in Crimea, and
the Ukrainian authorities demonstrate such an attitude towards me.
[photo]
Can this policy of the Ukrainian authorities be called provocative?
Political provocations are constantly being arranged. It is officially announced in Kiev about some kind of
“infringement”, discrimination against Crimeans. Come and see - not a single Crimean resident is
discriminated against. All have equal rights - both for the Crimean-Ukrainian, for the Crimean-Russian, and
for the Crimean Tatars - all have the same, equal rights. They are the same citizens of the Russian Federation
as those who live outside the peninsula.
I always speak openly at all forums: we can speak Ukrainian, we can buy Ukrainian literature. The Ukrainian
language in Crimea is the state language, along with Russian and Crimean Tatar. There are no infringements
on the ground of language.

SIMFEROPOL, 5 May, RIA Novosti Krym. Russian Investigative Committee finished its pre-trial
investigation of the criminal case of Mustafa Dzhemilev, ex-leader of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People -
an extremist organisation banned in the Russian Federation. His Russian attorney Nikolay Polozov shared this
information with journalists, according to TASS.
“Investigative Committee [of the Russian Federation] finished its pre-trial investigation of the criminal
case of Mustafa Dzhemilev. Today, the defence has received the final decision on prosecuting Mustafa
Dzhemilev as a defendant”, the attorney said.
According to Polozov, the scope of accusations against his client has remained unchanged. Dzhemilev is
charged with illegal crossing of the state border by a group of persons by prior conspiracy under Part 3 of
Article 322 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; negligent possession of a firearm, creating
conditions for its use by another person, if this resulted in serious consequences under Article 224 of the
Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and illegal acquisition and possession of ammunition under Part 1 of
Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as amended by the Federal Law of 28 December
2010 No. 398-FZ.
“With regards to these accusations, the defence stated that Mustafa Dzhemilev does not recognize the legality
or validity of the accusations on any of the points. The investigation also provided the defence with a notice on
separation of criminal case against unidentified persons under Part 3 of Article 322 of the Criminal Code of the
Russian Federation. The investigator announced the end of the pre-trial investigation after the order on the
prosecution of Dzhemilev as a defendant was presented”, Polozov said.
He explained that the defence started the process of getting acquainted with the criminal case file which
consists of 11 volumes.
The investigation found that on 2 May 2014 Dzhemilev arrived from Kiev to Sheremetyevo Airport; border
control officers denied him entry to the country and he went back to Ukraine. However, the very next day,
Dzhemilev, accompanied by other persons, crossed the state border of the Russian Federation at the Armyansk
checkpoint (Turkish Wall). His further illegal actions related to staying in the Republic of Crimea were
suppressed by law enforcement officers.
The former leader of the extremist organisation is also accused of illegal acquisition and possession of
cartridges for 7.62 mm firearms. Dzhemilev stored a semi-automatic hunting carbine of the same caliber in his
house in Bakhchisaray. The Investigative Committee stated that Dzhemilev’s son found out where the key to
the safe is located, in May 2013 took the carbine out of it and killed a man.

SIMFEROPOL, 2 June – RIA Novosti Krym. The first in Crimea quarterly cultural and educational
magazine in the Ukrainian language “Krym syogodni” (“Crimea Today”) is a clear refutation of the myth
that the linguistic and cultural rights of Ukrainian-speaking citizens are violated on the Russian peninsula.
This was reported by the participants of the press conference at the multimedia press center of MIA “Rossiya
Segodnya” (International Information Agency “Russia Today”) in Simferopol, which was dedicated to the
presentation of the magazine.
As noted by Anastasia Gridchina, chair of the Ukrainian Community of Crimea and editor-in-chief of “Krym
syogodni”, the idea to release the first Ukrainian-language glossy edition in the region arose back in 2015,
but only now it has been put into practice. The first issue is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Victory
in World War II. In particular, the pages of the publication present the life stories of three war heroes–
representatives of the Ukrainian, the Russian and the Crimean Tatar nations: the sniper Lyudmila
Pavlichenko, Marshal Fedor Tolbukhin and the pilot-ace Amet-Khan Sultan.

The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia announced that it arrested three leaders and four members of
the terrorist organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir (banned in the Russian Federation) in Crimea. It became known on
Tuesday, 7 July.
The special operation was carried out jointly with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Guard of
the Russian Federation, TASS says.
The detainees followed the doctrine of creation of the so-called global caliphate, destruction of the secular
society institutions and overthrow of the current government. They recruited Crimean Muslims.
During the searches, propaganda materials, means of communication, electronic data carriers were
confiscated.
Criminal cases were initiated against the detainees.
Earlier, on 7 July, the FSB detained a terrorist recruiter in the Krasnoyarsk region. He is a Russian citizen, an
adherer of radical Islam. The investigation believes that in 2018 in Norilsk, he urged a Russian to go to Syria
to join an international terrorist group and participate in armed activities in the territory of the country. A
criminal case was initiated.

SIMFEROPOL, 7 July - RIA Novosti Krym, Alexey Goncharov.
Professionalism and painstaking work of the Russian intelligence agencies make it possible to effectively
identify and suppress the activities of the extremist underground in Crimea, including representatives of the
terrorist organization Hizb ut-Tahrir*. This opinion was expressed to RIA Novosti Krym by the Deputy of
the Crimean Parliament, a former employee of the state security agencies of Russia, Sergey Dremov.
“This organization needs to be taken seriously and dealt with effectively. Our security agencies have
succeeded in this. Very painstaking and voluminous work is performed with regard to them, the entire set of
investigative activities is carried out. At the same time, it is rather difficult to document these unlawful acts
since the conspiracy of this organisation is at a high level,” the expert said.
Dremov recalled that while the Crimea was part of Ukraine, Hizb ut-Tahrir* launched vigorous activities on
the peninsula, that the state did not oppose in any way, and recruited a large number of local residents into its
ranks.
“The ideology of this organisation is aimed at building the so-called “global caliphate” and the manifestation
of total intolerance towards all other religions and movements. This ideology allows radicals to use serious
methods of influence, up to physical destruction. The attention to Hizb ut-Tahrir* should be the most intent. I
think the security agencies are doing this job well,” he noted.
The parliamentarian added that the Crimean Hizb underground receives organisational and ideological
assistance from outside due to the extensive network of this structure, including on the mainland of Russia.
“There is no doubt that Hizb ut-Tahrir* activists in Crimea receive support from outside. This is a very wide
international network, in any case they use communication means, the Internet, maintain relationships with
each other. I suppose that they receive both financial and ideological support,” Dremov believes.
As previously reported, in Crimea, the activities of a cell of the terrorist organisation Hizb ut-Takhrir*,
prohibited in Russia, have been suppressed. In the operation, the Russian security forces detained three
leaders and four rank and file members of the cell. They spread terrorist ideology among Crimeans and
recruited Muslims of the peninsula into their ranks.
Searches were carried out in the houses of the suspects, and a large number of banned propaganda materials
and communications were seized. Criminal cases have been initiated against the detainees.

Chair of the Ukrainian Community of the peninsula, Anastasia Gridchina, called speculations about the
preservation and development of the Ukrainian language in Crimea inappropriate. According to her, the
President of Ukraine has received a copy of the magazine “Krym syogodni” (“Crimea today”). It is
published in the Ukrainian language, RIA Novosti says.
The first cultural and educational publication in the Ukrainian language, “Krym syogodni”, is released once
a quarter. The first issue was published in early summer. It is released with the assistance of the Head of the
Republic, Sergey Aksyonov.
Anastasia Gridchina expressed hope that Kiev will finally understand that the Ukrainian language is
preserved and developed in Crimea. She clarified that there is no talk of human rights violations either.
In Kiev, they constantly talk about the mythical occupation of Crimea and talk about the so-called
reintegration, the Chair of the Ukrainian Community said. At the same time, no one takes such conversations
seriously anymore. But, unfortunately, Ukrainian politicians and their Western curators again and again talk
about the oppression of Ukrainians in Crimea and the oppression of the development and functioning of the
Ukrainian language.
According to her, the community does not expect any response from the Ukrainian President, as Kiev tries to
ignore what it does not like. And they will not like the development of the Ukrainian language in Crimea
either, because it contradicts their lies. Today the work on the next volume of the magazine is almost
finished. Anastasia Gridchina promised to send it to Kiev as well.

The Osmanovs are known to be Crimean Tatars with Ukrainian citizenship who arrived in Turkey in 2014.
The Turkish Prosecutor’s Office seeks to sentence them to seven and a half years in prison. In particular, the
suspects had conversations on the Islamic topics in social networks, gathered for conducting religious

Turkish Constitutional Court did not recognize the Hizb ut-Tahrir as a terrorist organization (although it is
banned).
The Hizb ut-Tahrir was established in the 50s of the last century to fight for the global caliphate. It is banned

According to Eyvaz Umerov, the prosperity of the people of Crimea is associated exclusively with
Russia

Attempts to split the Crimean Tatar nation are doomed to fail. This opinion was expressed by the Head of the
Crimean Regional National Cultural Autonomy of Crimean Tatars, Eyvaz Umerov, in an interview with RIA
Novosti Krym (RIA News Crimea).
The social activist noted that Crimean Tatars over the years have seen significant changes in Crimea: roads,
schools, kindergartens, hospitals were constructed and many other things, and this is only a small part of how
life has improved due to the common work, the cornerstone of which was laid 6 years ago.

SIMFEROPOL, 6 December. /TASS/. The Palace complex of the Crimean Khans in Bakhchisaray, the only
example of the Crimean Tatar architecture in the world, will be restored in 2022, almost 2 billion rubles have
been allocated for this, the press office of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Crimea told TASS.
In November 2019, the Head of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov told that the first ever complete restoration of the
residence of the Crimean Khans in the Bakhchisaray Palace would be completed in 2021.
“The total amount of funds provided for the implementation of the set of restoration works is 1.979 billion
rubles. The completion date for the restoration works is 2022”, the press service informed.
The repair and restoration works are underway at eight of the 16 sites of the complex. Contracts have been
concluded for the development of design documentation for three sites and another two are at the stage of the
conclusion.
The total area of the Palace complex is about 4 hectares. It was the residence of the rulers of the Crimean
Khanate in the 16th-18th centuries. The complex was subjected to looting and destruction. The winter
palace, three of the four harem buildings, five marble baths and palace equipment have not survived. The
Khan’s Palace ensemble includes 16 sites of cultural heritage of federal significance. Alexander Pushkin
visited Bakhchisaray and the palace in 1820 and wrote the poem “The Fountain of Bakhchisaray” and the
piece of poetry “To the Fountain of the Bakhchisaray Palace”. According to historians, it was these works
that helped to preserve the name of the city.

Should we expect a big earthquake in Crimea: the Black Sea region is shaking
https://crimea-news.com/society/2020/12/28/743239.html

SIMFEROPOL, 28 Dec – RIA Novosti Krym (RIA News Crimea), Eleonora Pavlovskaya. In recent
months, several fairly strong earthquakes have occurred in the Black Sea region. The Krasnodar region and
Chechen Republic were “shaken”, but Turkey felt the largest number of aftershocks. The last one occurred in
the morning of 27 December in the east of the country. Are these earthquakes harbingers of a recurrence of
the 1927 disaster? The correspondent of RIA Novosti Krym asked for a comment from the expert-ecologist
Anatoly Semenkov.
“Up to two thousand small-scale earthquakes occur in Crimea every year. People do not feel them, only
special equipment does. This is due to the fact that the peninsula is located in the immediate vicinity of the
seismically and tectonically active zone – the Alpide belt. At the same time, the level of seismic activity here
is lower, since Crimea is located on the periphery, and Turkey is located directly along the plate boundary,”
Semenkov stated. The expert noted that it is currently impossible to predict catastrophic earthquakes in terms
of scale and destructive capacity. “There is no scientific model for long-term forecasts. The shortest possible
to predict a powerful earthquake is in a day,” he said, adding that neither other Russian regions, nor other
countries have better possibilities.
According to him, scientists also disagree about the cyclical nature of large earthquakes: “some believe that
the gap is about 700 years, others - from 70 to 120 years”. Therefore, it is almost impossible to predict a
catastrophe a long time in advance, but it is possible to conduct observations, which in Crimea is done “with
the help of a system of special sensors”. The latter track not only earth shocks and their strength, but also all
kinds of soil movements. The region also has a public alert system.
Semenkov recalled that the worst earthquake in Crimea occurred on 11 September 1927. According to the
expert, then, due to the emissions of hydrogen sulfide from the bottom, the sea was burning, and the width of
the flame was three to four kilometers, and the height reached 200-500 meters.
“The second time the sea burned on 13 September, at that time in Yalta there was an earthquake measuring 9
points. There was great destruction, but only one person died,” he summed up and added that in the event of
tremors it is important to stay calm and strictly follow the instructions of the authorities and the Ministry of
Emergency Situations.
Earlier, the website of RIA Novosti Krym reported that in the morning of 27 December, an earthquake with a
magnitude of 5.3 units occurred in eastern Turkey. In mid-December, seismologists recorded tremors with a
magnitude of 4.3 units in the Black Sea. The earthquake occurred at 5:54 p.m. Moscow time. The epicenter
was located at a depth of 10 km and was located 30 km south of Anapa and 41 km southwest of
Novorossiysk.

Recruitment to a cell was assessed with severe sentence
Members of a terrorist organisation were sentenced from 13 to 18 years in penal colony
“Kommersant” kommersant.ru/doc/4640954 of 12 January 2021, 8:13 p.m.
The Military Court in Rostov-on-Don announced a sentence in the case of the creation in the city of
Belogorsk of a cell of the Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami, a terrorist organization banned in Russia,
recruiting local residents into it, as well as promoting the idea of creating a “Global Caliphate” in
Crimea. The accused - the father and son, Enver Omerov and Riza Omerov, as well as Ayder
Dzhapparov - denied any involvement in the crimes they were charged with. They argued that they
only discussed religious and political issues and did not intend to overthrow the constitutional order.
The attorneys believe that there is no direct evidence of the guilt of their clients in the case and intend
to appeal the sentence.
The Southern District Military Court announced the decision in the case of the natives of Uzbekistan, 60-
year-old Enver Omerov and 40-year-old Ayder Dzhapparov, who live in Crimea and are accused of creating
a cell of the “Islamic Liberation Party” (Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami), recognized by the Supreme Court of the
Russian Federation as a terrorist organization and banned in the country. Another accused, 32-year-old Riza
Omerov, was charged with participation in a structural unit of a terrorist organization. The accused were also
charged with recruiting residents of the peninsula, as well as propaganda and other actions aimed at the
violent seizure of power and the creation of a “global caliphate” with a Sharia-based form of government
(part 1 of Article 205.5, part 1 of Article 30 and Article 278 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
The Court handed to Enver Omerov 18 years sentence in a high-security penal colony, 17 years to
Ayder Dzhapparov, 13 years to Riza Omerov.
Moreover, they have to spend the first two years in prison. After the decision was announced, the bailiffs
called an ambulance to the wife of Enver Omerov, who felt unwell, and a protocol according to part 2 of Art.
17.3 of the Code on Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation was drawn up for his daughter, who
was trying to break through to the accused (failure to comply with a lawful order of a bailiff in charge of
enforcing the lawful order of the courts). As reported to “Kommersant” in court, the girl refused to sign the
protocol, citing the absence of an interpreter and lack of knowledge of the Russian language. She claimed
that she just wanted to touch her father. The bailiffs, however, could construe her emotional impulse as an
attempt to release the accused from custody. The punishment in an administrative case provides for a fine in
the amount of 500 to 1000 rubles.
Supporters of the accused lined up in front of the Military Court building. Over the clothes they wore capes
with inscriptions like “For what 13 years? Repression cannot be justified.”
The trial found that from 2017 until his arrest by the security agencies in June 2019, Enver Omerov held
meetings at his home, where the cell members studied the concept of Hizb ut-Tahrir. According to the
materials of the case, Enver Omerov argued that only that organization preaches “true Islam” by calling for
the creation of a “caliphate” state. Therefore, the organizer of the cell argued that it was the reason why
every Muslim must fight for the creation of an Islamic state.
According to the materials of the case, the activity of the cell was meant to include recruitment of new
members, encouraging the population to act against the government and demanding the transfer of
power to the “caliph”, and, in the long term - forced unification of Russia with the caliphate.
Annex 1037

The activities of the cell were suppressed as a result of investigative activities. During the trial, audio
recordings of the meetings and testimonies of classified witnesses, who told how they were recruited into the
cell, were heard. At the preliminary investigation, the accused refused to testify referring to Article 51 of the
Constitution of Russia. In court, they denied the charges brought against them and claimed that they were
simply discussing religious and political issues among themselves. The attorneys of the convicted assume
that the prosecution is based only on the testimony of witnesses, and there is no direct evidence of guilt in the
case. The defense intends to appeal the decision. The Human Rights Center “Memorial”, recognized as a
foreign agent, included the accused in its list of political prisoners.

Ukrainian TV channels banned from speaking about the protection of the Russian-speaking
population
https://lenta.ru/news/2021/01/14/otake/
Peter Lavrenin 14 January 2021
The National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting has appointed an unscheduled
inspection of the NewsOne TV channel because of the guest’s statement about the need to protect the
Russian-speaking population of the country. This is stated on the website of the authority.
The report says that the TV channel will be checked for compliance with the norms on fomenting interethnic
discord.
The check was scheduled based on the monitoring of the air for 4 January. “On this day, the broadcaster
from 21:00 (22:00 Moscow time) live broadcast the program “Epicenter of Ukrainian Politics” with the
participation of a guest – Honored Journalist of Ukraine, TV presenter, analyst Vyacheslav Pihovshek.
Pihovshek’s statements about the need to protect the Russian-speaking population of the country, as well as
the part of the country’s population that considers itself to belong to the Ukrainian nation and is a native
speaker of the state language, have signs of violation,” the report says.
The National Council is of the opinion that the guest’s statements have signs of incitements to hatred and
intolerance. Neither the host nor other employees of the channel reacted to the subjective opinion of the
guest, and no alternative position was expressed on this issue, the authority noted.
Furthermore, the regulator will appeal to the Commission on Journalistic Ethics and to the Commissioner for
the protection of the state language Taras Kremen with a request to provide conclusions regarding
compliance with the professional ethical standards of a journalist during the telecast, as well as the
requirements of current legislation.
In Ukraine, from 16 January, the service industry will switch strictly to the Ukrainian language; it will be
possible to serve the client in another language only at client’s request. According to the law, all suppliers of
goods and services must serve consumers and provide information in the Ukrainian language. It will be
forbidden to speak Russian with clients.
In March, the Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed the law “On complete general secondary
education”, which eliminated Russian-language schools in the country from 1 September 2020. Students
from Russian-speaking families from the fifth grade will have to study at least 80 percent of the subjects in
Ukrainian. The Curriculum in Russian is canceled.
On 16 July 2019, the law “On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the state language”,
developed by the Government of the former President Petro Poroshenko, came into force in Ukraine.
According to the document, the Ukrainian language has become mandatory for state and local authorities,
educational institutions, hospitals and the service industry.

Page 1
Hizb ut Tahrir is an international political Islamist organisation operating since the 1950s.
In some countries, its activities are prohibited, and in some they are not.
The situation with the organization in Turkey, which has also been operating there for almost 60
years and which has come to the fore, especially in connection with the activities of the caliphate,
causes confusion.
On the one hand, there are decisions of the Supreme Court in which Hizb ut-Tahrir is qualified as a
“terrorist organisation”.
On the other hand, the decision on violation of rights adopted by the Constitutional Court in relation
to the organisation’s judicial proceedings provoked the organisation’s comment – “The
Constitutional Court did not recognize Hizb ut-Tahrir as a terrorist organisation.”

Simferopol. 1 February. INTERFAX - Hizb ut-Tahrir (an organisation declared terrorist and banned in
Russia) has been working among Crimean Muslims on the Internet; the Muftiyat of Crimea explains to the
believers the situation around the currents that have gone beyond the concept of traditional Islam.
“On our part, at Friday sermons and outside them, we carry out systematic work to explain the
perniciousness of all the movements that have gone beyond the concept of traditional Islam. There are more
than 300 imams all over Crimea, we have a mosque in almost every large settlement,” said Deputy Mufti of
Crimea Esadullakh Bairov at a press conference in Simferopol on Monday.
According to him, “the opposite side does not slow down: it uses all the newest technologies, the work is
done more online”. At the same time, a representative of the Muftiyat does not believe that “the cup is on
their side”.
Bairov stressed that everyone has the freedom to choose which path to follow.
“If a person understands that this organization is banned in Russia, (but - Interfax) continues to go to
meetings, continues to position himself as a member of this organization, then he is fully responsible for his
own actions. Shifting the responsibility to the clergy - that no one has put in a word for them, has not done
something - I think it is wrong,” said the Deputy Mufti.
Hizb ut-Tahrir (“Islamic Liberation Party”) was recognized as a terrorist organization by the Russian
Supreme Court in 2003 and is banned in Russia.
Regular searches have been conducted in the homes of Hizb ut-Tahrir supporters in Crimea since it became
part of Russia in 2014, and a number of cells have been liquidated. In Ukraine, where the Peninsula remained
after the collapse of the USSR, the activities of the “Hizb” are not regulated in any way.

BACKGROUND.
Yury Bekirovich Osmanov was born on 1 April 1941 in the village of Biyuk-Karalez of the
Kuybyshevsky District (now called – Krasny Mak of the Bakhchisaray District). After graduating
from the Bauman Moscow Higher Technical School, he worked at the Joint Institute for Nuclear
Research in Dubna and the Institute for High Energy Physics in Serpukhov. In his student years, he
started studying the heritage of Ismail Gasprinsky and became a member of the national movement.
He was arrested and convicted twice for his involvement in the national movement and spent 7.5
years in prisons and camps.
In 1973–1974, he organised a self-census of the Crimean Tatar people and drafted reports of damage
caused to Crimean Tatars by their forced deportation on 18 May 1944.
In 1989, he joined a committee for Crimean Tatar affairs of the Soviet of Nationalities of the Supreme
Soviet of the USSR, and following the committee’s work, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR adopted
the Declaration “On declaring repressive acts against the forcibly resettled peoples to be illegal and
criminal and on the observance of their rights”. Due to Yury Osmanov’s active involvement, on 28
November 1989, the Supreme Soviet adopted the Resolution “On conclusions and proposals of the
committee for problems of Soviet Germans and the Crimean Tatar people” that set out that the
Crimean Tatar people had a legal right to return to Crimea, and that this problem was to be gradually
solved through people returning there in an organised manner – on their own and in groups – and
through the restoration of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
In October 1990, he became the first Head of the Committee for Affairs of the Deported Peoples of
the Crimean Regional Executive Committee. In 1991, he founded Areket, an information bulletin of
the national movement of Crimean Tatars, and was its editor until his last days. In 1993, he became
Dean of the Faculty of Oriental Studies of the Taurida International University of Environment and
Political Science.
He opposed illegal methods of Mustafa Dzhemilev’s supporters.
Yury Osmanov was murdered on 6 November 1993 in unknown circumstances.

FOREWORD
The Vocabulary of nationalities for encoding answers to question 7 of the census questionnaire and the
Vocabulary of languages for encoding answers to question 8 are manuals for distributing the population by
nationality and native language when processing materials of the 1959 All-Union Population Census.
During the census, the nationality indicated by the respondent himself was recorded. During the census, the
name of the language that the respondent himself considered his native language was recorded as native
language.
The Vocabularies of nationalities and languages are based on the List of Peoples of the USSR, developed by
the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. In addition, when compiling the
Vocabularies, the works of the Institute of Linguistics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, comments of
the statistical departments, consultations of individual specialists in ethnography and linguistics were used.
The Vocabulary of nationalities, like the Vocabulary of languages, consists of a systematic vocabulary and an
alphabetical vocabulary. The systematic vocabulary is preceded by a list of nationalities (languages) allocated
during the development.
The list of nationalities contains 126 names, the list of languages contains 117 names.
In the systematic vocabulary, opposite each nationality (language), other names of the same nationality (selfnames,
synonyms) are given, which can be found in the census forms, and the territories of the main residence
of most nationalities are also indicated.
In the alphabetical vocabulary, self-names, synonyms and main names of nationalities (languages) are given
in alphabetical order. Moreover, the names of the main nationalities (languages), that is, those that make up
the content of the list of nationalities (languages), are typed in bold in the alphabetical vocabulary.

CHUFUT-KALE - CENTER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPIRITUAL CULTURE OF THE
KARAITES
Problem statement. In recent years, there has been an increased interest to the problems of the history
and culture of the Karaites. People of the younger generation have a growing desire to learn about the history
and culture of their people. In this regard, the study of the heritage of the older generation is of considerable
interest.
Analysis of the latest research. The result of research on this topic was a number of works by M.B.
Kizilov, A.G. Herzen, Yu.M. Mogarichev, S. Shapshal, E.V. Molochko, etc. However, it should be noted
that to date, little attention has been given to some episodes of Karaite history and culture.
In accordance with this the purpose of our article is to study the materials related to the origin of
printing in Crimea using known sources and to clarify the location of the first printing house.

DIALOGUE OF CULTURES IN THE FORMATION OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE
Annotation. The article examines the genesis of the dialogue of cultures in the context of globalization
and the spiritual integrity of modern civilization. The dialogical concept is presented in classical and modem
interpretations through the prism of axiology and ontology. Based on the analysis of cultural, philosophical,
historical and other literature, the axiological possibilities of the dialogue of cultures in the perspective of
the formation of intercultural competence are substantiated.
Keywords: dialogue, dialogue of cultures, mutual understanding, value, intercultural competence.
Problem statement. Dialogue is now the principal “conductor” of the world orchestra. The Bulgarian
writer Panko Anchev compares national cultures with instruments in a large orchestra called “global
culture”, which under the direction of a “conductor” perform one score, namely one grand symphony [1, p.
26]. S. Huntington says that the very fact of the diversity of local cultures requires dialogue. It is in the
dialogue “an opportunity emerges to delegate your best achievements to the world culture, which is the result
of the interaction of peoples” [2, p. 41]. World culture is not the only culture for everyone, but there is a
unity of national cultures. That is why “more than ever before, humanity feels the need for dialogue, mutual
understanding and communication, integration of cultural space as the basis of spiritual unity and harmony of
peoples” [3, p. 3]. The Director of the UN Alliance of Civilizations Secretariat M. Scheuer states that
“building cultural bridges across the cultural divides through dialogue” is increasingly seen as a direct factor
of sustainable development and peaceful coexistence [4, p. 205]. The well-known American sociologist and
historian I. Wallerstein states: “We must enter into a grandiose World Dialogue” [5, p. 24].
[...]
The purpose of the article is to highlight the socio-pedagogical value of the dialogue of cultures and
to determine its axiological possibilities in the perspective of the formation of intercultural competence.

A scientific practical conference “Mosaic of the peoples of Crimea” was held in the Simferopol
Academic Gymnasium

As part of the scientific practical conference, more than 150 students from 26 schools in Simferopol prepared
their research papers on the subjects of Crimean history and cultural heritage of the Crimean ethnic groups.
The authors of the best 50 works were awarded certificates and prizes.
Welcoming the participants of the event, Vladimir Bobkov noted the high level of work, touching on the
historical roots and cultural features, identity and diversity of Crimea, ranging from ancient times to the
present day.
“The purpose of such events is to popularize the scientific approach to learning. After all, it is at school age that
a child gets the first skills of a scientific systematic approach to any problem, which he or she can then apply in
business and in the workplace. Undoubtedly, from among today's participants we will see the future candidates
of science, teachers of our universities”, the parliamentarian said.
According to Sergey Dodonov, the purpose of the conference is to involve children and teenagers in the study
of the history of their native land, the preservation of customs and traditions of the peoples of the peninsula.
The parliamentarian is convinced that parents play an important role in the scientific and creative education of
schoolchildren, who “learning on their own, should instill a love of learning in their children”.
After the conclusion of the festive part, the guests toured the exhibitions of the museum opened by the local
history gymnasium “Blossom of the Cultures of Crimea”, where the exhibits reflect the uniqueness of the
cultures of more than 140 nationalities inhabiting the peninsula — the national costumes, handicrafts,
souvenirs, paintings and works of applied art.

About us
[…]
Page 1
Let us introduce ourselves – the Faculty of Crimean Tatar and Oriental Philology! Yes, this is us – the place
in the Taurida Academy where people of different nationalities, religions and ages have gathered together to
comprehend all the secrets of the Crimean Tatar, Turkish, Arabic and Persian languages.
[We are] The place where East and West meet, creating the most unique phenomenon of cultural and spiritual
unity. However, the study does not end with learning only new words and constructions, because philology is
also about culture, literature, history, customs and traditions. Well, it is a long and time-consuming list, but
this does not mean that our students and lecturers spend 24 hours a day reading books and manuscripts. Life
at our faculty is multifaceted and in full swing! There is no need to wait. After all, our achievements and
successes will speak for us better than simple words.
So, welcome to the Faculty of Crimean Tatar and Oriental Philology!
Ibraim Mukhterem, 2nd year, Crimean Tatar Language and Literature
From the first days of my studies, I have positive impressions of the Faculty. There are plenty of cultural,
entertainment, scientific and other events at the Faculty. Also, the events held at the Taurida Academy leave
many memories.
The lecturers are responsive, for any question they will suggest where to go or where to find the information
you need. As Chairman of the Student Council, I would also like to note the students’ proactive attitude to
solving student problems. I am very glad that the students are not indifferent to the fate of the Faculty, so our
Faculty is really like a small but very friendly family.
Sevilya Yunusova, 4th year, Turkish Language and Literature
Everything was perfect until recently. Everyone is very friendly; our Faculty is as well-knit as a single
organism. Why do I say until recently? Because we have got a strange new schedule. Just lovely. You sit until

eight o’clock, don’t see anyone and feel cut off from the entire Faculty. In terms of research life, everything is
also great, conferences are held regularly, [our] works get published in scientific journals; for motivated
students this is a good opportunity to demonstrate, present the work done and share their scientific views.
[…]
Alexander Karpov, 5th year, Persian Language and Literature
The Faculty’s study life is interesting. The volume of the material studied here, is global, but it is still tempting
to find and learn something extra in your specialty in order to better master the intricacies of the oriental
languages. There are various scientific conferences held to help students develop themselves and improve their
language abilities.

Interview with the Dean
A.M. Memetov, Dean of the Faculty, Professor, Doctor of Sciences in Philology
In his interview, Ayder Memetovich Memetov, Dean of the Faculty, Doctor of Sciences in Philology,
Professor, spoke about the Faculty’s achievements.
— Ayder Memetovich, the second anniversary of the establishment of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal
University is approaching. Two years is, of course, a short period of time, but still, certain results can be
summarised. Please share them with us.
[…]
At the very start of our activity, we faced serious difficulties – these was the lack of teaching staff – orientalists,
the lack of textbooks, study guides, curricula, programmes, material and technical resources, etc.
[…]
And now, answering your question, I should say that over the past two years, the Faculty has undergone major
changes that are associated, primarily, with its transition from the Ukrainian educational system to the Russian
one. It was a difficult transition. However, I believe that we have successfully overcome it. Our staff, first of
all lecturers, have become more active in terms of research. […] Members of our Faculty have received several
grants over the past two years. A short while ago, we held the All-Russian Scientific Conference on a grant
from the Russian Humanities Research Foundation. Leading Russian scholars from Moscow, Kazan, Ufa,
St. Petersburg and other cities of the Russian Federation presented interesting reports at the conference. A
good cultural programme was arranged for the guests: they got acquainted with the sights of Crimea, visited
Sevastopol, Yalta and Bakhchisaray.
Annex 1062

In the course of these two years, our lecturers prepared and published several textbooks and study guides for
both schools and higher education institutions:
• A. Memetov, L.A. Alieva – The Crimean Tatar language (7th grade) (Original in Crimean Tatar:
Kyrymtatar Tili (7 synyph))
• A. Memetov, E. Akmallaev, L.A. Alieva – The Crimean Tatar language (8th grade) (Original in Crimean
Tatar: Kyrymtatar Tili (8 synyph))
Just a few days ago, the monograph “On the Origin of Crimean Tatars. Volume 1. The Ancient Peoples of
Crimea. Historical and Linguistic Essay (by A. Memetov, I.A. Memetov)” was published. The monograph
“On the Origin of Crimean Tatars" is unique in its kind and was published for the first time. The funds were
allocated from the budget of the Republic of Crimea with support of the State Committee for Inter-ethnic
Relations and Deported Peoples of the Republic of Crimea.
[…]
The lecturers of the Faculty actively participate in all-Russian scientific conferences in Moscow, Kazan and
Ufa.
[…]
— Now I am collecting material for the second volume of the monograph “On the Origin of Crimean Tatars”.
This is very interesting. The first volume ended with the description of the history of Crimea from ancient
times to the 5th century A.D.
The next book will consider the Avars, Turkuts, Uzes, Pechenegs, Ases, Khazars, Cumans, who lived in
Crimea for several centuries until the XIII century, i.e. until the Mongol invasion.
[…]
— In accordance with the roadmap for the university’s development, it is planned to open the “Crimean Tatar
and Russian Philology” double specialty in the near future. It is planned to open “Chinese language” and
“Japanese language” training programmes, since the historical context and the realities of our time require us
to train specialists with the knowledge of these languages.

The Defence is the Result of Many Years of Work
Annex 1062
4
A significant event in the Faculty’s life was the defence of the doctoral dissertation by Lemara Sergeevna
Selendili on the topic “Lexical-Semantic and Synth-Morphological Features of the Crimean Tatar Sentence
Constructs (Formal and Practical Aspects)”. After her successful defence, Lemara Sergeevna received the
degree of Doctor of Sciences in Philology. In her interview with us, she talked about the twists and turns of
her defence as well as the very process of writing the work, her research interests and views.
— Lemara Sergeevna, please tell us about your research interests.
[…]
The semantics, pragmatics and structure of the Crimean Tatar sentence and the psychologism of statements –
this is what interests me the most right now. Along with these issues, I pay a lot of attention to studying the
issues of linguistic cultural studies, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics; it is important to solve the problems of
the Crimean Tatar language functioning in Crimea, of language policy, bilingualism, polylingualism,
assimilation and acculturation. For me, the problem of the Crimean Tatar education is still important: the study
of the Crimean Tatar language and teaching in the Crimean Tatar language.
— How long have you been preparing for the defence of your doctoral dissertation?
— It took me a long time to defend my doctoral dissertation – almost 16 years.
[…]
In 2012, I published a monograph, completed my dissertation and presented the work to the Specialised
Council at the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine; I passed the preliminary defence in two specialties, the
defence was scheduled for March 2013, but the Council was closed... It was destined to re-open only in March
2014. Then we woke up in a new state, and I found myself at a crossroads: Kiev beckoned with defence in two
specialties, and Moscow – with something absolutely unknown. An announcement about my defence was even
published in Kiev in 2015. The relatives didn’t allow me to go to Ukraine. I went to conquer Moscow. But it
turned out that it was ours, and I was greeted by warm and welcoming people there; as once with my
candidate’s dissertation in Kiev, I did not feel like some kind of stranger. Even when the electricity was turned
off in Crimea, all the staff of the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences gave me moral
support.
— Lemara Sergeevna, tell us, how did your defence go?
— Those who took part in the process say that everything went great. But I myself cannot evaluate what was
happening around me.
[…]
I can proudly say that eminent Russian linguists participated in the defence, many of whom I had never known
personally before, [these were] Doctors of Sciences in Philology, Professors M.Z. Zakiev, D.M. Nasilov,
S.A. Krylov, T.B. Agranat and others.
[…]
— What difficulties did you face in the defence process?
— The power blackout in Crimea was the biggest problem that I have faced in preparation for the defence.
There was no light – and the life stopped in our dormitory in a blink. There was no light, no heating, you can't
cook for your family, there was no internet, you don’t know where to run to... I wrote something with a candle,
dictated something to my Moscow friends over the phone until the battery ran out. Never mind, we survived.
Inshallah, it’s all over.
— What research goals do you set for yourself at this stage of your activity?
Annex 1062
5
— Now I am engaged in the elaboration of the prototype of the “Electronic Dictionary of the Crimean Tatar
Dialects”. With Doctor of Sciences in Philology Yu.V. Normanskaya, leading researcher at the Institute of
Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, we are studying the dictionary of I. Gasprinsky. At the
instruction of the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic of Crimea, we are, together with
the creative team, writing a textbook on the Crimean Tatar language as a non-native language, i.e. for those
who have never studied it.
[…]
— What kind of scientific research do you conduct with the students?
— I never limit a student to my topics and directions. I try to assist in their various aspirations and endeavours.
I love the sparkle in their eyes when they achieve something on their own. For example, Nilyufer Seitbekirova,
a student of the Turkish department, is researching the vocabulary of the “Terdzhiman” newspaper; Sevilya
Yunusova is studying the issues of existentialism in Turkish literature. My graduate master’s student of 2016
Mavile Seit-Abla wrote an original and very interesting paper on verb phrases based on the works of
S. Seutova. The students enjoy exploring the issues of advertising, PR, political propaganda. For the second
year already, we have been actively mastering the functional grammar of the Crimean Tatar language using
the latest information technologies in philology: the programmes Wordsmith, concordancer and others.

X All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference
“Topical Issues of Turkic Studies and Oriental Studies: History, Ethnogenesis, Language and
Literature of the Turkic-Speaking Peoples of Crimea”
From 13 to 18 September 2016, X All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference “Topical Issues of Turkic
Studies and Oriental Studies: History, Ethnogenesis, Language and Literature of the Turkic-Speaking Peoples
of Crimea” was held at the Faculty of Crimean Tatar and Oriental Philology with the financial support of the
Russian Humanities Foundation. In the course of the conference, at the sectional sessions, the important issues
of linguistics, interaction and origin of languages, contemporary issues of literature, history and culture were
discussed. The said conference brought together scholars from leading universities of the Russian Federation,
allowing them to share their scientific research with colleagues and students of the Faculty.
The conference was attended by scholars from Iran, the republics of Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Dagestan, the
Chuvash Republic, from the cities of Ufa, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tyumen, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and,
of course, from Simferopol and Bakhchisaray. The sessions and presentations were divided into corresponding
sections, during which the relevant issues of national languages, cultures and literatures, as well as the
interaction thereof, were discussed.
Annex 1062

[…]
“[For] us, this conference is one of the first funded by a grant, and we have invited specialists from leading
educational institutions. Also, our lecturers had the opportunity to get acquainted with new achievements in
the fields of Iranian studies, Arabic studies and Turkic studies. And, of course, they themselves took part in
presentations and scientific debates. I believe that the conference was useful and important for both sides and
made it possible to establish invaluable scientific contacts,” noted Ayder Memetovich Memetov, Dean of the
Faculty of Crimean Tatar and Oriental Philology, Professor, Doctor of Sciences in Philology.
After the plenary session, the conference continued its work in sections: “Turkic Linguistics”, “Turkic
Languages and Literatures”, “History, Ethnogenesis, Language and Literature of the Turkic-speaking Peoples
of Crimea”, “History and Culture of the Turkic-speaking Peoples of Crimea”, “Crimean Tatar Linguistics”,
“National Languages and Literatures in Interaction”, “Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies”,
“Turkology and Oriental Studies”.
Also, within the framework of the conference, participants visited the libraries and museums of the Republic
of Crimea, including the Larishes Museum and the “Khan’s Palace of the XVI-XIX centuries” palace and
garden complex.
The materials of the conference will be published in the scientific journal “Scientific Notes of the Vernadsky
Crimean Federal University. Philological Sciences”.
Life is in full swing!
The life of the Faculty is exciting and multifaceted. Over the past year, the students of our departments, together
with the student self-government and the trade union committee of students, have achieved significant heights
in cultural-mass activities. Not a single event of the Taurida Academy or the Crimean Federal University
remained unnoticed by them. To tell you more about all the achievements of the Faculty in this area, we spoke
to Leviza Ismailovna Bekirova, Deputy Dean for Educational Work, Candidate of Sciences in Philology,
Associate Professor.
[…]
Also, the Faculties’ Dance Floor has been held recently, where our students showed their dance talents in many
nominations and received their well-deserved awards; the Musical Olympus was also conquered by our
students.
— Leviza Ismailovna, tell us, what events do the students organise at the Faculty themselves?
— Recently, it has become a good tradition for us to conduct thematic quizzes, quests and debates. The students
choose the topics that interest them and get together to discuss them. This relates to the serious part of your
question. We also organize trips and the Faculty’s May parties. After all, exactly such events bring students
and lecturers closer to each other.

Academic Mobility
Lecturers of the Department of Crimean Tatar Philology Lemara
Sergeevna Selendili, Edie Shevketovna Memetova and Timur
Bekirovich Useinov took part in the academic mobility
[programme] for lecturers at the Russian Institute for Advanced
Study of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of
Higher Education “Moscow Pedagogical State University” in
Moscow. Timur Bekirovich and Edie Shevketovna talked about
the details of the trip and the kind of scientific research that they
were engaged in.
[…]
“Within the framework of the project of the Development Programme, I have chosen the following topic:
“Ethnopoetics of Crimean Tatar Paroemias”.
[…]
— During the indicated period, within the walls of the Russian State Library, the work was carried out to
discover and collect the Crimean Tatar textological material in Latin and Cyrillic as well as to study the
scientific works of universally acknowledged scholars-orientalists.
[…]
Compilation of the Electronic Dictionary of the Crimean Tatar Language
One of the large-scale projects, being worked out by the Faculty at the moment, is the compilation of the
electronic dictionary of the dialects of the Crimean Tatar language. Edibe Nazimovna Medzhitova, senior
lecturer of the Department of Crimean Tatar Philology, executor of the project, is dealing with the issue of the
northern dialect, collecting the material on this topic and processing it. In November, she visited the Sholokhov
Moscow State University for the Humanities, where the results of her work on the dictionary were evaluated.
Edibe Nazimovna shared with us the results of her work.
— Edibe Nazimovna, you have recently been on a work trip to the Moscow Pedagogical State University.
Tell us about your scientific work at the said university, what was the purpose of your trip?
— We are implementing a grant from the Russian Humanities Research Foundation to compile the electronic
dictionary of the Crimean Tatar dialects (Reference: Russian Humanities Research Foundation No. 15-34-
10116 “Electronic Dictionary of the Crimean Tatar Dialects” at the Moscow Pedagogical State University
(the Sholokhov Moscow State University for the Humanities). In order to evaluate the results obtained, on the
invitation of the Moscow Pedagogical State University, I went there on a work trip, and during my visit I was
mainly engaged in the collection and research of the theoretical foundations, since it is very difficult to find
practical material there.
— Please tell us more about the work on the electronic dictionary.
— A part of the dictionary is now ready. That is the northern dialect section. The dictionary is built up on the
works of the writers who wrote in the dialect. At this stage, the language of Memet Muzet’s works has been
processed. While working on the project, I mainly use my knowledge as well as the works in the dialect
language. The material, collected by the students for practical classes, is also very useful. In the future, we of
course strive to compile the dictionary of all three dialects of the Crimean Tatar language. But this is a largescale
task, because you can spend all your life compiling the dictionary.
Annex 1062

— Edibe Nazimovna, what scientific research do you conduct with your students?
— With the students, I research the history of the Crimean Tatar language and of all its three dialects. (In the
Crimean Tatar language there are three main dialects: steppe (çöl şivesi), middle/ Bakhchisaray (orta yolaq
şivesi/Bağçasaray şivesi) and south coast (yalı boyu şivesi) – Author’s note.) It is in these areas that the students
write their term papers, which later develop into graduation theses.
Susana Khalapova, 3rd year, Crimean Tatar Language and Literature
Our faculty is special. It differs from other faculties, perhaps, in its distinct character. Despite the different
nationalities, all students get along without problems and find a common language; I think the love for the East
helps with this. By studying the Crimean Tatar language, culture, history, customs and traditions of our people,
we become true patriots. This is undoubtedly the merit of the Faculty and the entire teaching staff.
Ruslan Ryapov, 5th year, Turkish Language and Literature
Frankly, I did not believe that in the stormy ocean of life I would find an island of prosperity and selfrealisation.
Everything, absolutely everything here, in the building of my Faculty, pushes, inspires and
motivates to new scientific achievements. The East is a delicate matter. Certainly. The rich organisational life
of the Faculty is like a cut diamond: it is multifaceted and represents all the mystery and indescribable beauty
of the Eastern culture. Hardly anyone in the world will remain indifferent after seeing this. Neither could I)
Evangelina Kornienko, 4th year, Arabic Language and Literature
In the last year, after Ibraim revived the active work of the Faculty, obvious changes began to take place. The
Student Council of the Faculty resumed its work, the students began to be more often involved in culturalmass
and scientific events, which are held in the main building, and began to win prizes in university
competitions.

The Department of Crimean Tatar Philology
There are two departments at the Faculty of Crimean Tatar and Oriental Philology – of Oriental Philology and
of Crimean Tatar Philology. In the present interview, we would like to introduce to you, dear readers, the
Department of Crimean Tatar Philology. We managed to speak to Edie Shevketovna Memetova, Head of the
Department, Candidate of Sciences Philology, Associate Professor.
— Edie Shevketovna, tell us, what are the most significant events that have taken place at your department
over the past two years?
— A significant event for the department was, first of all, the successful accreditation of the training
programmes 45.03.01 Philology (Crimean Tatar Language and Literature – bachelor’s level) and 45.04.01
Philology (Crimean Tatar Language and Literature – master’s level); secondly, no less successful was the
Annex 1062

defence of the doctoral dissertation by Lemara Sergeevna Selendili on the topic “Lexical-Semantic and Synth-
Morphological Features of the Crimean Tatar Sentence Constructs (Formal and Practical Aspects)”.
— What promising and relevant research is your department engaged in?
— All the research projects, carried out by the Department of Crimean Tatar Philology, are promising and
relevant because the philology concerned has been subjected to detailed examination and research for a
relatively short period of time. These include verbal folklore (the foundation of any nation), the dialectal
differences of the Crimean Tatar language (mosaic of the Crimean Tatar speech), the history of Crimean Tatar
literature, the modern Crimean Tatar language, the functional grammar of the Crimean Tatar language as well
as stylistics. The department is engaged in the research of all the above areas.
[…]
I would especially like to mention the winners of the regional stage of the Olympiad in the state languages of
the republics of the Russian Federation under the Russian language umbrella: Nilyufer Cherkes, Sultanie
Siflyaeva and Shakhsnie Degermendzhi. All three winners got the right to represent the Republic of Crimea at
the final stage of the Olympiad in Moscow on 2-4 November of this year; however, unfortunately, only two
winners, Sultanie Siflyaeva and Shakhsnie Degermendzhi, took advantage of this right. We hope the girls will
represent our blessed land with dignity and return with a victory!
— You have passed the academic mobility competition for lecturers. What scientific topics will you develop
at the Institute for Advanced Study?
— Yes, we were lucky enough to successfully pass the academic mobility competition. At the Institute for
Advanced Study, I hope to elaborate on the theme of the figurative means of the Crimean Tatar language using
the example of excellent translations of the most interesting works of Korney Chukovsky into the Crimean
Tatar language.

The Department of Oriental Philology
The Department of Oriental Philology trains the specialists in the fields of Arabic, Persian and Turkish
languages. When entering our Faculty, the students choose the main oriental language themselves, and from
the third year, they can choose one more language to study. However, the study life is only part of the story.
The lecturers of the department, led by head of the department Ayder Memetovich Memetov, are engaged in
various scientific explorations and promising research. At the moment, the department is engaged in a largescale
research project “Multidisciplinary Aspects of Orientalism” that allows to cover all aspects of the
languages studied.

The Faculties’ Dance Floor
On 24 November, the third Open competition of student dance skills “Faculties’ Dance Floor” was held at the
Taurida Academy of the Crimean Federal University. The event was organised by the Centre for Creative
Initiatives and Cultural-Mass Events of the Taurida Academy.
The competition was judged by a professional jury, which included the Chairman of the trade union committee
of the students of the Crimean Federal University and the competition organisers. The jury noted the team

spirit and professional preparation of the faculties. The students from the faculties of the Taurida Academy,
the Institute of Economics and Management, the Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the
Physics and Technology Institute took part in the event. The dance groups presented a large number of
performances and demonstrated their skills in various styles and directions.
Our Faculty was no exception and also took part in the competition. According to the results of the
performances, the participants were awarded with diplomas and cash certificates from the trade union
committee of the students of the Crimean Federal University.
Adile Muslyadinova, a first-year student of the Crimean Tatar department, became the winner in the “Folk
Dance” nomination in the “Solo” category.
Alina Kosheleva, a third-year student of the Turkish department, became the winner in two nominations at
once – the “Ballroom Dance” nomination in the category “Duet” and in the “Best Ballroom Dance” nomination
[…].
The most important achievement of the Faculty was its victory in the nomination “Dance Discovery of the
Taurida Academy” […].
The All-Russian Olympiad for Schoolchildren and Students
On 15 October, Simferopol hosted the regional stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren and
students in the state languages of the republics of the Russian Federation under the Russian language umbrella.
In the Republic of Crimea, the Olympiad was held in Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar languages.
The winners of the regional stage in the Crimean Tatar language were
exclusively the students of our Faculty:
1. Sultanie Siflyaeva (1st year of the Master’s programme)
2. Nilyufer Cherkes (1st year of the Master’s programme)
3. Shakhsnie Degermendzhi (4th year).
The girls also participated in the second round of the Olympiad, which
took place on 2-4 November at the Pushkin State Russian Language
Institute, and told us about how it went:
Sultanie: “The second round lasted for three days. During this time, we
all became a big multinational family, we all became friends and there
was no thought among us that we were competitors. We made new
friends, exchanged our knowledge, experience, we even found some
similarities, for example, in languages”.
Shakhsnie: “First of all, I would like to say that this is an incredibly interesting idea to gather representatives
of all regions, different nationalities and religions in one place! This is a great opportunity to meet people from
another point of the mainland, to learn a lot of new things and to look at your own traditions and culture from
the other side. We were very pleased with the organisation of the event itself. Everything was thought out to
the smallest detail, except for the traffic jams :)”
The Faculty expresses its deep gratitude to the organisers of the Olympiad, our participants Sultanie and
Shakhsnie, lecturer Gulnara Shukurievna Chantalova, who accompanied the participants to the Olympiad, as
well as Elzira Osmanovna Fetieva, who prepared the participants for the competition tasks.

UNITY OF THE PEOPLE - HONOR AND GLORY OF THE MOTHERLAND
On 14 November, in the Assembly Hall of our university, an event “Unity of the People - Honor and Glory
of the Motherland!” was held aimed at introducing young people to the culture of the peoples living in
Crimea.
Representatives of various secondary vocational education institutions showed through their choreographic,
vocal creativity, and special presentations, as well as culinary samples, the richness of the culture of nations,
which is full of a bright bouquet of the peoples of Crimea. The word at the opening ceremony of the event
was provided to the Rector of the CEPU Chingiz Fevzievich Yakubov who in his welcoming speech stressed
the importance of holding such events and spoke about the role of our university in creating conditions for
the creative coexistence of a multinational and multi-confessional community of Crimeans.
The indigenous people of Crimea, i.e. the Crimean Tatars, was presented by the Engineering and
Pedagogical College of the CEPU on the stage and at the culinary exhibition. We thank the acting director of
the college S.I. Ismailova and the team of students of the Engineering and Pedagogical College for the

CEPU AT THE HIDIRLEZ
The holiday “Hidirlez” was held this year at the new venue in Bakhchisaray at 5, Mira street, and as always,
it gathered many guests from all over the Crimea.
[…]
After the solemn performance, event participants held a demonstration of the holiday symbol, which this
year became the world’s largest fez, i.e. the Crimean Tatar women’s headdress with a diameter of 1.5 m and
0.65 m high specially sewn for the holiday by the creative team of the Selyam laboratory at the Department
of Technology, Fashion Design, and Professional Pedagogy of the CEPU. The Mufti of Crimea was given
the opportunity to secure the first symbolic coin with the image of the holiday logo, which traditionally
adorns the fez.
Throughout the day, the audience and guests of the festival were pleased with the grand concert, which
presented the musical and choreographic culture of the indigenous people of the Crimea, i.e. the Crimean
Tatars. A bright contribution to the atmosphere of the holiday was also made by the creative collectives of
the CEPU, such as the Violin Ensemble “Selsebil” under the leadership of the Honored Worker of Education
Zarema Aliyeva, the Vocal Ensemble “Tan Yildizi”, as well as the mixed choir of the CEPU under the
leadership of the Honored Worker of Education Elmira Seitmemetova, the Choreographic Ensemble of the

https://kipu-rc.ru/meropriyatiya/item/229-khydyrlez-vsekrymskij-prazdnikvesny.html#sigProIdebce27f5c8
On 6 May 2017, the annual All-Crimean festive event dedicated to the Crimean Tatar national holiday
“Hidirlez” was held on the 25th kilometer of the Simferopol-Bakhchisaray highway. The delegation of
representatives of the government, deputies, clergy, public figures, who came to congratulate the participants
of the event, was also met by students of our university. Our students, together with other representatives of
the Crimean youth, who were dressed in national Crimean Tatar costumes, holding flags, greeted the
delegation all along the way. Head of the Government of the Republic of Crimea S.V. Aksyonov together
with the rest of the delegation: N.F.Malenko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of
Crimea, R.I. Balbek, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, R.I.Ilyasov, Deputy Chairman of
the Council of the Republic of Crimea E.S. Bilyalov, member of the Presidential Council on Interethnic
Relations, Z.R. Smirnov, Chairman of the State Committee on Interethnic Relations and Deported Citizens
of the Republic of Crimea, hajji E.Ablaev, Mufti of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol,
N.G.Goncharova, Minister of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic of Crimea Ch.F.Yakubov,
Rector of the CEPU, and others, congratulated the Crimeans with the holiday from the stage and noted that
today the Crimean Tatar “Hidirlez” has become a national holiday and is celebrated by all representatives of
the nationalities of Crimea.
In the official part of the event, the CEPU students, as volunteers of the holiday, took on the responsible
mission of the traditional unveiling of the world’s largest Crimean Tatar flag, which could be seen even from
a bird’s-eye view. The concert program of the festival was brightened up with performances of the
outstanding violin ensemble of the CEPU “Selsebil”, under the leadership of Zarema Aliyeva, Honored
Worker of Education, Zera Kenjikayeva, Honored Artist of Crimea, singer, composer and teacher of the
CEPU, popular vocal ensemble “Tan Yildizi”, under the leadership of Seitmemetova E.A., Honored Worker

Maksutova, the student of our university, multiple winner of international vocal awards competitions.
Together with them, many creative folk groups and singers of Crimea and guests from Russia performed on
the stage.
The program of the holiday was rich and exciting. Crimeans witnessed the preparation of the world’s largest
cheburek measuring 2,5*1,5 m, which is considered a Crimean Tatar national dish. Attractions and animators
worked for children, and the municipal divisions of Crimea in their specially designed tents presented
elements of creative amateur activity and national cuisine, which their representatives are famous for.

CEPU HONOURS THE MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS OF THE DEPORTATION

18 May – the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Deportation of the Peoples of Crimea. Not
only Crimeans remember this, the whole world knows about it today!
Students of the CEPU led by the university administration as well as guests –
representatives of the State Council of Crimea, the State Committee for Inter-ethnic
Relations of Crimea, the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Crimea, the administration of
Simferopol and others – honoured the memory of the victims of deportation and laid flowers at
the monument “Revival of the Crimean Tatar people” located on the territory of the university.
Thousands of the CEPU staff came out on this day to commemorate and remind others once
again of the terrible date that predetermined the fate of an entire nation, leaving it at that
time with virtually no hope for existence. But despite the prevailing circumstances, the
spirit of Crimean Tatars did not fall and allowed them to return to their homeland and continue
their lives according to the precepts of their ancestors, many of whom did not manage to live
up to these bright days. Today we also remind young people of the cost of returning to their
homeland, of the difficulties and hardships that the generation of Crimean Tatars, who
shouldered the burden of resettlement to Crimea in the late 80s and early 90s, had to endure.
Many families then had to start their life, as they say, “from scratch”.
At 12.00, a mourning service and a requiem concert were held in the Bakhchisaray region
of Crimea, not far from the Siren railway station, from where the first echelons with
deported Crimean Tatars departed on 18 May 1944. At this place, a memorial complex
dedicated to the memory of the victims of deportation of the peoples of Crimea is currently being
constructed. A group of over 100 students of the CEPU visited the site of the event and after
the addresses of the Head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov, the Chairman of
the Crimean Parliament Vladimir Konstantinov, and the Mufti of Crimean Muslims
Emirali Ablaev, together with the rector and president of the university laid flowers at
the railway wagon-teplushka, installed at the memorial complex under construction
in memory of the tragedy of 18 May 1944.
An evening event in Simferopol dedicated to the Day of Remembrance of the
Victims of the Deportation of the Peoples of Crimea took place at the initiative of the
State Committee for Inter-ethnic Relations of Crimea, the “House of Peoples’ Friendship” and the CEPU

in the square named after V.I. Lenin. Over 300 students of the Crimean Engineering and
Pedagogical University took part in the event “Light a Fire in Your Heart”. Our students,
together with the delegation that included the Chairman of the Crimean Parliament Vladimir
Konstantinov, the Chairman of the State Committee for Inter-ethnic Relations Zaur Smirnov, the
rector of the CEPU Chingiz Yakubov, the president of the university Fevzi Yakubov and other
dignitaries laid out and simultaneously lit candles along the contour interpreting the country’s
outline. The memory of the people who died in those years was honoured with a minute of
silence. This event was yet another reminder of the terrible tragedy that befell the Crimean Tatar
people. Representatives of public organizations, including the Education and Science
Employees’ Union of Russia, the Russian Union of Youth and others, also joined the event.

On 15 November, as part of the week of the Russian language and literature an open lesson was held by
subject teacher Y.V. Kharitonenko together with a fourth-year student of Taurida Academy of Federal State
Educational Institution of Higher Education “Vernadsky Crimean Federal University” Alyona Olegovna
Kamysheva on Ukrainian literature in the 6-U class. The main purpose of the event was to get acquainted with
the facts about the works of Ukrainian writer Stepan Rudansky and the study of short original works called
“spivomovkas” (proverbs).
Annex 1076

At the lesson it was noted that the writer has long lived in Crimea, namely in the city of Simferopol and Yalta.
Stepan Rudansky’s work is particularly valuable because he is also a translator. The master of words translated
Homer’s “Iliad”, “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”, Mikhail Lermontov’s poem “Demon”, and other works into
Ukrainian. The students showed a lot of enthusiasm for the lesson, and also tried their hand at making their
own “spivomovkas”.

Thus, holding such events inspires students to learn the languages of their Homeland.

WATCH OUT THE CULT!
First time going out [khuruj]
The first time is always special. Often it determines whether you plunge into the abyss of Tablighi Jamaat
(TJ) or not. I went out with them for “three days” and, of course, I was “bombarded with love”. Muslim from
Russia! Masha’Allah2! There were many compliments, admiration for my person, coffee in bed, national
homemade meals. I was treated like a special guest, like a very beloved person.
In the very first hours of my “three days” out, I was immediately sent on my walkabout [gasht, jawla]3
with one of the seniors [kudama]4. He took me through the streets of the neighborhood and periodically
introduced me to one of the locals and asked to talk to them about Islam. I didn’t really understand what I was
supposed to do, but I tried to explain something. That is how my first initiation happened. As I learned later,
it is a common Tablighi practice to send a newcomer out into the street to preach, or at least let him observe
(if he is completely ignorant). In addition, by the end of these three days, the newcomer is assigned to recite
the “6 attributes” after the taglim or at the morning bayan5. He understands little about what this is and why it
is necessary. Yet he is assigned this role anyway.
It is worth knowing that it is a worldwide sectarian practice to charge newcomers with proselytizing
[recruiting]. Research in the field of social psychology shows that nothing contributes so much to the
consolidation of a new system of values as the work on indoctrinating other people into it. As a result, the
process of “crystallization” of new members goes faster.
During these first “three days” with TJ I experienced a completely new sensation, unknown to me before.
On khuruj it feels like you enter a different spiritual world, one that is artificially created, where everything is
good and everything works out, everyone loves you and listens to you …

TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
… and there is a humility in Salaat, brotherly love.
It is as if you get a dose of spiritual adrenaline, doping. However, when you return home after “going out”,
you can no longer experience those feelings, no matter how hard you try, and you become dependent on this
imposed spiritual stimulation.
If you keep “going out” with them, you gradually get hooked on the “needle” of Tablighi, because when
you “go out” your heart psychologically works hard, being immersed in constant rites of worship, preaching,
religious activities. All these activities are in some way directly related to Islam and therefore the uninformed
Muslim is deceived by such activity, and the distorted spiritual “thrill” he receives while “going out”, misleads
the man.
Even at the end of “going out” before returning home, the leader [amir] of the Jamaat gathers all the
participants of the going out and asks them about the benefits received and the sensations experienced. In the
2 “How wonderfully Allah has willed it!”
3 This is what the Tablighi members call a walk through the area to talk about the importance of religion and to invite
people to an evening meeting at a mosque or a house.
4 This is the name given to those who have already spent four months in the Tablighi Jamaat system.

language of TJ, this is called “giving karguzari”. Everyone begins to tell their dreams, their feelings, and their
raptures. There are usually few indifferent people. Alternatively, someone who has listened to others might be
embarrassed to say that he or she has not felt anything.
Two rules need to be understood here.
First, the purpose of worship is not to experience any special feelings. The purpose of worship is, first of
all, to obey the will of the Almighty and to do His bidding sincerely and in accordance with the guidance of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. It does not matter whether you feel anything or not.
Secondly, that system of activities, affairs and daily routine established at the Tablighi “khuruj”, though
connected with Islam, are yet to be distributed exactly in that order as performed by the cult’s ideologists, is
not the Sunnah, i.e. the prophetic guidance.
There is a Sharia rule: “We cannot perform haphazardly those worships sent down by the Lawgiver
[Shari’] in a strictly defined system, nor can we change the order established by the Lawgiver. And for those
worships sent down by the Lawgiver haphazardly, without specifying when, where and in what form and
quantity they must be performed, we cannot establish rules and a system ourselves.”
Page 7
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
That is to say, for example, the fivefold prayer is established by the Almighty and His Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, at strictly defined intervals, and there are specific rules and conditions for it.
We can no longer change or adjust anything in this worship on our own. For example, Allah’s commands to
make an invocation [dawat], to do zikr [praise Allah], or to address Him with a prayer [du’a] are partly
stipulated by the Almighty and partly left up to the initiative of the believer. Therefore, we have no right to
establish an obligatory [wajib] or a desirable [mustahab] procedure for performing dawat or zikr.
“Khuruj”
“Khuruj” is Arabic for “going out”, or “tashkil” for “formation”. This is what the Tablighi members call
the three-, forty-day, and four-month going out. You can also call them “seminars on wheels” or seminars on
foot. And every Tablighi member is taught that they must go out for the rest of their lives.
Above, we have already begun to talk about the established order of going out for three, forty, and one
hundred and twenty days. The system is built in such a way that there is complete control of the life activity
of the sect member. The ultimate goal of TJ, like any sectarian organization, is the control of many, or in the
ideal scenario, all spheres of a person’s life. In order to achieve this goal, TJ adherents are torn from their
normal lives and deprived of their usual social circle. Tablighi members have an intense daily routine, restrict
their sleep and food (or, on the contrary, receive lavish treats), and engage in strenuous activity that leaves no
opportunity to critically examine the sectarian beliefs and personalities of the leaders.
Although this control of the life activity is directly connected with religion, and the daily routine consists
of worship and sermons, the Tablighi sheikhs had no right to establish them in such an order, as we have
already said. Moreover, there is always such a phrase in the vocabulary of the Tablighi members: “Allah will
accept/will not accept your “khuruj”, i.e. it turns out that they regard it as a rite of worship [‘ibadat]. Therefore,
it is for this form of call [dawat] to Islam and worship that …
Page 8
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
… there should be clear proof from the Quran or hadiths. There is no such ayah or hadith that says that it
is necessary to do dawat, to spread Islam, and to work for religion according to the order established by the
Tablighi members!
The basic principle in worship is prohibition, and in worldly affairs it is permissibility. That is, all worship
is forbidden except that which Allah and His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
established. All worldly affairs are permissible except those forbidden by Allah and His Messenger.

The daily routine of the “khuruj”
The Tablighi Jamaat is characterized by a clear and well-established system of activities that is uniform
throughout the world. Only when one comes to the main Indo-Pakistani Tablighi centers [markaz] located in
Delhi in the Nizamuddin district, in Raiwind, near Karachi, and stays there for a few days to learn and gain
theoretical skills, the daily routine changes slightly. First we will tell you what happens in the markaz, and
then we will show you how the Tablighi members carry out their activities during the “khuruj” outside the
markaz.
When you arrive at the Tablighi center, you will usually be greeted by “khidmat istikbal”, i. e., those who
are specially appointed to greet everyone arriving at the markaz from all over the world, simply attendants.
You will certainly be treated to tea and sweets, asked where you are from, asked for your passport and
registered. Usually, while you are taking your tea and the registration process is underway, someone on duty
starts talking in a casual manner about the advantages of going out with TJ (they call it “going the way of
Allah”), about how you have been given a great favour and that not everyone is given the chance to come here.
They talk about using the time with benefit and so that Allah accepts your going out “khuruj”, you have to
participate very carefully in all activities, lessons and affairs [a’mal]. This conversation usually does not last
long and is only formal in nature. Then, usually, the new arrivals start looking for fellow countrymen, or fellow
countrymen find them themselves. After registration, the newcomers are allowed to settle in the markaz and
look for a suitable place on their own.
The markaz is a spacious, multi-storey and very ascetic building. There are no special facilities except for
bathrooms and showers.
Page 9
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
People sleep on mats on the floor. Many people usually bring their own sleeping bags or buy them at the
nearby bazaar. No bedding, no hotel rooms, no furniture. Everything is very simple, it is not very clean (to put
it mildly) and there is nothing superfluous.
• The prayer of night worship [tahajjud].
The day in markaz begins long before sunrise. All Tablighi member are strongly advised to rise at the third
part of the night to perform the tahajjud6 Salaat. This prayer is part of the religion of Islam, but the Tablighi
members view it in a completely different context. The interesting thing is that it is recommended not just to
pray at night, but to pray for the whole world. That part of the night is the most auspicious for turning to Allah,
so when you “go the way of Allah” (to Tablighi) you should not ask for yourself, you should cry and ask Allah
to forgive you for living without the Tablighi and not doing dawat before. You should also ask Allah for all
the people around the world to become Muslims (which is actually not contrary to Islam) and that they also
join the TJ (!) and dedicate their lives to going out for various periods of time.
In the markaz they tell you: “Once you go out ‘in the way of Allah’ (to Tablighi) you have no right to ask
for yourself. Your going out is very precious, it is highly valued by the Almighty, so ask for your friends,
relatives, neighbors, classmates. Worry about their lives, ask for hidayat [guidance to the right path] for them”.
• Morning zikr.
After the tahajjud Salaat, one is supposed to do the morning zikr [praise Allah]. The Tablighi sheikhs have
established that everyone who has gone out to Tablighi should repeat tasbih7, istighfar8, and salawat9 a hundred
times each morning and evening.
[…]10
6 It is one of the voluntary prophetic prayers performed deep into the night.
7 Tasbih — Subhan Allahi, al-Hamdu lillah, la ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar.
8 Istighfar — Astaghfirullah (I ask forgiveness of Allah)
9 Salawat — Blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Breakfasts, dinners, suppers.
Meals at the markaz are unpretentious. The food is very simple and the canteen itself is not very clean.
Everyone is fed for free. It is interesting that outside the markaz there are many cafes and restaurants, and the
prices are negligible. Many Tablighi members who have arrived at the Indian Markaz are already tired of the
food that is offered there, and go to these cafes and restaurants. This is where they are told: “Don't leave the
markaz without an emergency, better don't leave at all, even if you need something, give money to the special
people on duty among the locals, they will go and buy whatever you want. When you leave the markaz, you
may spoil your “khuruj”, you may not get all the benefit, you may lose the nur [light, shining] from those ’amal
[deeds] that you perform in the markaz. In addition, there is no “nur and barakah”11 in the food that is outside,
but the food that is prepared in the markaz with the blessing of our sheikhs has great barakah.”
Here is an evident method of restricting information that is widespread in various sects around the
world. A person, under any pretext, is minimized contacts and communication with the outside world,
preventing him from communicating with external sources of information. Even before leaving for India, all
Tablighi members are already warned on the spot that they cannot and should not try to call home, should not
be distracted by work matters. One must devote oneself entirely to the work of the Tablighi and the effort to
understand this “great work” for the whole duration of the “khuruj” going out. Once you arrive at the Indo-
Pakistani Markaz, you are indoctrinated with this again and reminded of it every day. Don’t go out to the
bazaar, don’t eat in cafes, don’t go out into the city, otherwise you won’t benefit from your “khuruj” going
out, since Allah, they say, will not accept it. What an ignorance!
From the point of view of Islamic doctrine the “khuruj” is not accepted anyway, because it is not a rite of
worship established by Allah and His Messenger. It is an invention of the Indian Sheikhs, the roots of which
go back to the traditions of the religious leaders of Hindustan to organize processions and walks from town to
town, from village to village12. This old tradition was remembered by Muhammad …

TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
…Ilyas Kandhlawi and then customized for the commoners. Now ordinary Muslims from different social
strata began to march and call upon their fellow believers to join them and come out for 3, 40 and 120 days
with the Tablighi.
As for restricting information in the markaz, those who rigorously follow the admonitions of the TJ sheikhs
and do not go out or call anyone (called “not to violate tartib” in TJ language) come back completely infected
with the ideas of Tablighi Jamaat. Those who have disrupted the procedure do not return as “spiritualized”.
There is an aggressive attempt at total life control. Newcomers go through the markaz, where they are
taught how to establish contact and how to recruit new members. The newcomer is constantly fed with
various information, occupied with activities, and never left alone with his own thoughts.
The Tablighi understanding of Islam is knocked into the newcomer during round-the-clock sessions and
is preached continuously until he begins to use the terminology, vocabulary and metaphorical language of the
Tablighi in the course of his own existence. “The meaning of life” promoted by the doctrine may be absurd or
simple to an outsider, but it does not matter. The content of the Tablighi sheikhs’ appeal is not essential. Its
strength consists in providing integrity, a synthesis in offering an alternative to the existing state of affairs.
Once this structure of thinking is adopted by the TJ recruit, it helps him organize most of the chaotic
information that bombards him from the outside. The stress of information overload and confusion that takes
place in modern life is immediately relieved. Structure does not provide the truth as such, but order, and
thus the meaning of existence.
Let us analyze together what TJ calls for. The newcomer, as well as the experienced one, is constantly
suggested that the problem of all Muslims is the absence of “yaqin” (we will explain what it is below), and the
absence of “yaqin” means that our religion is incomplete. Because of this, we are all unhappy and our life is
11 Nur and barakat are light and grace.

in the chapter “The Value of the Spirit of God-seeking”.

useless.
Page 13
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
In order to develop “yaqin” in one’s soul and to begin to live by full religion13, it is necessary to do dawat
(to call people to Islam). Since all Muslims have stopped doing dawat, there has been a decline in all spheres
of their lives. To do dawat, you have to sacrifice [do qurbani], and the true sacrifice is to take time to go out
for “khuruj” for 3, 40, 120 days and more (in the future). You will go out with the Tablighi, and all problems
will be solved! All of them! TJ sees the solution to all of life’s problems in constant going out for “dawat”,
and upon returning from “dawat” — in the creation of Tablighi units in places, in cities and villages all over
the world. This, according to the Tablighi sheikhs, is the work of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, and this is the meaning of life [maksadu al-hayati] and the greatest work!
It is that simple, isn’t it? In this new life order and structure many find “the truth” and that is how they
understand Islam. It all would have been fine if not for the fact that this is not how our Prophet presented Islam
to the people. Look, by giving its members a sense that the teachings of TJ have a certain meaning and that
they need to convey that sense to others, the Tablighi idea offers life purpose and consistency in our
inconsistent world.
The theoretical sessions and daily conversations among the Tablighi adherents are reinforced by
“positivity”: smiles, treats, gifts, attention and care given to the newcomer. However, not every behavior of
the newcomer is reinforced and approved, but only the desirable one. If the newcomer says what they want to
hear in response to a question, smiles bloom around him, and his every word is received with joy. If he gives
a negative or uncertain answer, his listeners frown, avoiding his gaze. Clouds grow heavier. At a certain point,
the person begins to realize that if he wants to remain surrounded by cordiality and attention, he must begin to
talk and behave as his new friends want him to. Then one of the laws of social psychology comes into play
— external actions gradually become internal beliefs.
Page 14
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
The danger is that psychological manipulation in TJ, as in other sects, occurs unnoticed and is not
recognized by cult members. The newcomers get the impression that their emotions are spontaneous and that
their behavior is voluntary. They understand all psychological changes as signs of “spiritual recovery”.
Well, as for the content of “nur and barakah” in the markaz food, this should not be believed either. After
all, the source of barakah [grace, abundance] is Allah Himself, and He puts it wherever He wills. In general,
the Tablighi members are very fond of looking for and finding “nur and barakah” in various places. However,
we must know that the “barakah status” of something is assigned and designated by Allah Himself and His
Messenger. We have no right to declare a thing to be a source of barakah by ourselves. In addition, Allah has
mentioned the reasons for the sending down of barakah in His Book, He said: “If the inhabitants of the
settlements believed and became God-fearing, [observing My will in accordance with the Sunnah
teachings of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace], We would reveal to them the grace
[barakah] from heaven and earth.”14
Only by submitting to Allah on the basis of Muhammad’s guidance can one obtain Allah’s barakah. How
do the Tablighi members want to obtain barakah when their actions and teachings contradict the Sunnah?!
• Guidance to those going out [hidayat].
After the morning bayan, breakfast, and a short rest, people in the markaz proceed to the “hidayat”. At
about 9:30-10 o’clock, they begin the long, at least two-hour long admonitions and exhortations for those going
out for tashkil15. The word “hidayat” itself already stings, because we Muslims are used to asking for hidayat
13 This is another of the Tablighi slogans: “We must live by full religion”, though this idea is not thoroughly explained.
For many it is simply an unattainable dream. And not a very clear one.
14 Quran 7:96.
15 Tashkil is partial, intermediate going out during the 40- or 120-day “khurudz” in the Indo-Pakistani Markaz. The
duration of tashkil varies, usually from 3 to 20 days.
Annex 1079

only from Allah, reciting surah “Al-Fatiha”. No one else but Him can give hidayat. In Urdu, the admonitions
are called “hidayat”, a word borrowed from the Arabs and not quite well applied. Well, never mind.
Page 15
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
At such “hidayats”, the sheikh first speaks a lot about the importance of “yaqin”, the greatness of the dawat
work based on the TJ method, the great responsibility, and that you have the great honor of being a part of this
movement. The sheikh then proceeds with actual recommendations: how to behave en route, in transport, what
to do when arriving at your destination, how to behave in the mosque, how to conduct visits and agitation,
what to say and what not to say, and much more. Usually such “hidayats” are not conducted by the most
important sheikhs of the Tablighi, but by someone among the very experienced [buzurg] of the center. They
are also called sheikhs, but they are from those who have spent many years on “khuruj” sessions around the
world and have great practical experience, but they are not TJ ideologists.
“Hidayats” conclude with a “musafaha” [handshake] with the sheikh. Everyone who goes to “tashkil” on
this day must stand in a long line and shake hands with the sheikh, who sits in a special place. He usually holds
his hand out, and those on duty warn them not to squeeze the sheikh’s hand hard. People take turns coming up
and shaking the sheikh’s hand. What is this ritual for? Was it an oath or a vow of allegiance or something else,
I still haven’t figured it out.
• Taglim.
In the markaz, there is usually a short taglim in the afternoon. Taglim in Arabic means teaching, but in the
Tablighi language, the word means a lesson or an activity. In the markaz, it usually lasts for an hour or an hour
and a half at the most. In tashkil, it is two to two and a half hours. Taglim is conducted strictly according to
the books assigned by the TJ sheikhs: “Virtues of Deeds” (Faza'il-i-A'mal) by Muhammad Zakariyya al-
Kandhlawi 16, or “Selected Hadiths” by Sa’ad Kandhlawi. The Arabs also use the book “Gardens of the
Righteous” (Riyad-us Saliheen) by Imam Nawawī.
The meaning of taglim is that a pre-appointed Tablighi member takes one of the above books, gathers his
group [jamaat], and begins to read it page by page.
Page 16
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
When the whole group has assembled, the presenter may put the book aside for 10–15 minutes and talk
about the virtues of taglim and the rules to be followed when participating in it. He then continues reading the
book again, which lasts a total of 1.5–2 hours.
The main requirement during taglim is the desirable presence of taharah [little ablution], humble posture,
and patient silence. It is necessary to look continuously at the person reading, or at the book. Even if you do
not understand or agree with something, you should not interrupt the taglim with your questions. You should
just listen and be quiet, listen and be quiet. Since the purpose of this taglim from the point of view of the
Tablighi members is not to gain knowledge, but to gain “nur and barakah” from what is read and heard. In
other words, one has absolutely no opportunity to ask questions, disagree, or object.
You are assured that you must simply learn to listen to the Prophet’s hadiths and must learn to love them
and be imbued with them. On the one hand, there is some truth in these words. On the other hand, there are
many poor and unreliable hadiths in the book “The Values of Deeds” [Fada’il al-A`mal]. Moreover,
Muhammad Zakariya Kandhlawi has written extensive commentaries, parables and comparisons to these
hadiths. In other words, one has to listen in silence for two hours and absorb this man’s conclusions and his
interpretation of Islam?!
Another problem is that these books are required to be read endlessly, and having read it once from cover
to cover, one has to start it over again. It goes on for years! No variety. You cannot read all the other books
during taglim. The sheikhs forbade it. The other books, they say, have no nur or blessing from the sheikhs. If
you say, let us read the Russian translation of “Sahih al-Bukhari”, they will reply: “No! You cannot. It is not
16 This book consists of several parts: “Virtues of the Quran”, “The Virtues of Zikr”, “The Virtues of Salaat”, “The Virtues
of Tablighi”, and in the month of Ramadan, the Tablighi members also read “The Virtues of Ramadan”.

according to tartib!”17
[…]
Page 18
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
Everyday rites of worship do not seem to bring new emotions to some Muslims, so they seek them in some
other understanding of Islam. After an hour and a half or two hours of reading “The Values of Deeds”,
repeating the last ten surahs of the Quran along with the “Al-Fatiha”, the third part of the taglim begins — the
recitation of the six attributes. We will devote the next chapter to these six attributes.
The Six Attributes
The “six attributes” is the know-how of the Tablighi sheikhs. Usually, the ordinary Tablighi members
recite them in the morning on the bayan, at the end of each taglim, sometimes on the evening bayan, and by
order of the Ameer [group leader] at his discretion at any free time. The point of endlessly repeating these “six
attributes” is not to eloquently recite them. At least that is what the Tablighi leaders declare. It is necessary to
recite them constantly so that they will become part of every Muslim’s life, so that everyone will acquire these
six attributes. It is only by repeating them daily that the desire to practice and implement them in your life will
arise.
They try to teach these “six attributes” to any newcomer, any Muslim who accidentally joins the ranks of
the TJ. It happens that a person doesn’t know how to perform Salaat or he has converted to Islam just two days
ago, and they assign him to recite them in front of others. They write them down on paper for him, quickly
explain what they mean, and then he goes ahead, to the masses! The ”six attributes” are not the whole religion,
as their sheikhs declare, but they are a large part of it, and by striving for them (for acquiring the “six
attributes”) one can come to the whole religion.
Each Tablighi member is shown a rough plan of how to talk about these attributes:
1. To explain the meaning, i.e., what it is and what the purpose of working on this attribute is.
2. How to achieve it.
3. To present one hadith about the merits of this attribute.
Page 19
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
It is not necessary to say many words, the main thing is to repeat and repeat them endlessly according to
the specified plan. Where did the Tablighi sheikhs get them from, what principle did they use to determine
them, why did they select these six attributes and not the others? Why is there exactly six attributes and not
more or less? There are more questions than answers.
1. First Attribute.
La ilaha Illallah Muhammadur RasuluLlah.
La ilaha Illallah means that there is no Creator [Halik] but Allah, no Giver [Razik] but Allah, no Ruler
[Malik] but Allah. The purpose of this attribute is to remove from the heart the wrong belief [yaqin fasid]
concerning the power of “things” and to instill in the heart the right belief [yaqin sahih] concerning Allah
alone. That is, things (money, weapons, medicines, relationships, etc.) can do nothing and possess nothing, but
Allah alone can do everything. It is necessary to speak about it constantly, so that this kind of correct “yaqin”
enters the heart.
“Only Allah created the hippopotamus, there is no creator but Allah” “Only Allah created the giraffe, there
is no creator but Allah” “Only Allah created the bear, there is no creator but Allah” Some Tablighi members
can say such repetitions endlessly with different variations.
Telling, repeating, constantly talking about the greatness of Allah — this is the motto I heard during all
17 Tarteeb is an established order.
Annex 1079

the years I was in the Tablighi.
But this interpretation is fundamentally flawed, because it corresponds to the beliefs of the Meccan pagans.
They did not deny the power of Allah and His ability to create, to bring to life, to destroy, and to grant abode.
They opposed the sole right of Allah to worship Him alone. Consequently, the Tablighi adherents’
understanding is only a partial explanation of Allah’s oneness.
Muhammadur Rasulu Llahi. In explaining this part of the shahadah, the Tablighi adherents, at first glance,
present everything correctly. They say that one should follow suit of the Prophet, that is, one should worship
Allah in the image and likeness of Muhammad. In reality, however, the Tablighi members focus most of all
on the outward manifestations of the Sunnah: the Prophet’s order of eating and sleeping, and the clothing …
Page 20
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
… which is actually national Pakistani, but which they call “Sunnah” among themselves.
The fact that it is necessary to study the Sunnah from competent scholars is not even mentioned among
the Tablighi adherents. The Sunnah, they assert, must only be studied “in the way of Allah”, that is, in their
“khuruj”. The Tablighi sheikhs still confidently assert that this “going out” and what it consists of is the
Sunnah. Although there is not a single Prophet’s utterance that this is how the Prophet walked and called for,
and this is what he called for.
Many of the activities they call the “prophetic Sunnah” are based on unreliable hadiths, or generally on
some personal inferences learned from a variety of sources and from Indian parables and wisdom.
2. Second Attribute.
Salaat with Humility and Submission.
The purpose of this attribute is to achieve such a level of Salaat that by performing two rak’ahs of voluntary
prayer you would be able to solve all your problems. It means that by turning to Allah through two raka’ahs
of Salaat, your prayers would be instantly accepted and your wishes would be fulfilled. Nice words, of course!
Yet, did our Prophet call for this, and is such an aspiration the main purpose of performing the fivefold Salaat
at all?!
3. Third Attribute.
Ta’lim Wa Ta’allum. Teaching and Learning.
This is the most contradictory attribute of all six. On the one hand, the Tablighi members constantly talk
about learning and loving scholars. On the other, they read nothing but the book “The Value of Deeds”, and
they forbid reading at all. When I myself completed the Islamic bachelor’s programme in Tunisia, I didn’t
attend anywhere else on the advice of my Tablighi mentors. They said that my knowledge would be good
enough for Siberia. To any young Tablighi member who, after going out with TJ, is imbued with the desire to
learn Islam, they say: “You don’t have to study, go and do dawat, go out for four months, worry about the
whole world, Allah will teach you everything you need to know.”
Even those who want to attend their educational institutions, where young scholars are brought up in the
spirit of TJ, cannot easily get there.
Page 21
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
To those Tablighi members who are in their thirties, the sheiks say: “Leave the knowledge to the children,
let them study, and work at the dawat yourself.” So how can one call for Islam without education?! Besides,
any sensible Muslim, having studied at a third-party (non-tablighi), Muslim educational institution, will begin
to think and reason critically and will not become an active member of TJ. This is why, in my opinion, the
Tablighi sheikhs in every way prevent the ordinary members of TJ from improving their knowledge, especially
in matters of religious doctrine. Even some Salafi sheikhs refer to the TJ as the “enemy of knowledge”.
4. Fourth Attribute.
Ikram Al-Muslimin. Respect for Muslims.
Ikram Al-Muslimin among the Tablighi members is expressed exactly in respect for those who are already
Annex 1079
9
in the Tablighi or those they hope to attract to the ranks of the TJ. The sheikhs say that we should do Ikram to
Muslims and non-Muslims with the intention that they should go out for “khuruj”, i.e. join the TJ.
5. Fifth Attribute.
Ikhlas. Sincerity.
At first glance, everything is clear here. However, they understand the word “ikhlas” partially and explain
it only as performing acts for the sake of Allah’s pleasure. This is the correct explanation! However, apart from
this meaning, “ikhlas” is also the aspiration of believers to get rid of hypocrisy, ostentation, sanctimony and
striving to earn credibility out of Islam. That is to say, ikhlas must always be interpreted in a universal sense,
not just a private one.
6. Sixth Attribute.
Al-Haruju fi Sabili Llahi. Going out in the way of Allah.
This is where any Tablighi member begins to talk a lot. He talks about the Sahabahs who went out for life,
which can be disputed. He talks about the prophets who gave their whole lives to religion (and it is true). He
says that we all have a responsibility towards religion, that we will all be accountable to Allah for …
Page 22
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
… not calling the people we rode the streetcar with or the people we worked with. He also says that all of
the five attributes mentioned above can only be achieved through the sixth one, and that the only way to achieve
complete religion is to practice dawat by applying the methods of TJ. In short, it is a matter of opinion. Some
people don’t understand the meaning of the six attributes and include whatever they want or assume, and
especially the sixth attribute is comprised of all the things that were not mentioned in the first five.
Even during my first going outs with TJ, I was always angered, and continued to be angered until I left
this sect, by the fact that all of the Tablighi members during bayans, when explaining the six attributes in
private conversations, babbled tall tales, parables, and stories, savoring their own or others’ life situations.
They tell poor or unreliable hadiths, folk wisdoms, and instructive examples. As they do so, the listeners
exclaim: “Masha’Allah!”, marvel, and admire the eloquence and ingenuity of the speakers...
The sheikhs themselves often cite examples from the lives of animals as evidence. For example, the sheikh
asks, why does a chicken immediately after hatching from an egg stand on its feet and move independently,
but a doweling remains in a helpless state for a long time? It turns out that the father of the chicken is a rooster,
and he does dawat! He calls people to Salaat in the morning and wakes them up with his crowing, while the
pigeon’s father does not do dawat — he just flies and eats. So Allah takes care of the chicken because of his
father’s work, i.e. the rooster, and does not take care of the doweling. It’s the same with people: if a father
constantly goes to dawat according to the method of TJ and even though he cannot see his children, Allah will
still take care of them, but if you don't go out, then the children will grow up with no sense of purpose. These
are the kind of comparisons Tablighi members are brought up on.
The explanation of the six attributes always ends with an address to the listeners: “The Sahabahs have
given their whole lives to religion, they have gone out for life! We can’t do that because we are weak! So, our
scholars have set for us a minimum tartib [order]: three days a month, forty days a year, four months at the
first opportunity. Are you ready to go out in the way of Allah?
Who is ready to go out for four months [forty days, three days] …
Page 23
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
… for the sake of the religion and for the sake of the whole Ummah? Who is willing to save themselves
from the fire of jahannam? Etc.” People start encouraging each other, many stand up embarrassed, sign in, or
raise their hands, saying, “I'm ready.”
I think this is a kind of psychological technique, a “Step by step” technique — a small concession to
which the recruit agrees leads to more and more substantial concessions: “you’re ready — fine — come to us
— spend a weekend with us — go out for three days — for forty days, etc.”
The Tablighi sheiks themselves say that you have to get at least the intention of the one being called to
come, at least an hour of his time. You can’t just let him go. You must ask: “Well do you have any intention?”

Manipulation “You’re the Chosen One / You’re the Guilty One”
From the first minutes of “going out”, the newcomer is led to believe that he has been given a great favour,
that he has finally found the meaning of life [maksadu al-hayati]. They say that TJ is a great endeavour, and
you are a Dawatist who calls for Allah! It should certainly not be forgotten that calling people for Islam, [i.e.,
doing dawat] and delivering to them the fundamentals of Islam [“tablighi” — arab. delivering] is indeed a
God-pleasing work and is a significant part of religion. There are certain rules and requirements for the
methodology of calling and for the caller himself. However, the ideologists of Tablighi have perverted this
part of Islam and presented their own distorted view of dawat.
The following happens in practice. Tablighi members constantly keep each other in a state of exalted
emotion and guilt. On the one hand, you are constantly indoctrinated, and you indoctrinate others, that you are
the deputy of the Prophet18, that you are the best of the Muslims, you have been entrusted with a great mission.
Only those whom Allah loves are allowed to “go out” to dawat with the TJ. The Tablighi sheikhs say that those
who participate in the TJ will have a special place in front of Allah on the Day of Judgment. They say that for
ordinary believers there will be merely Paradise, but for a Tablighi member there will be the most luxurious
place in Paradise next to Allah. After all, Allah is the Halik [Creator], and Paradise is makhluk [created].
Page 24
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
Therefore, one should strive for the Creator, not for His creation, and merely Paradise, according to them,
is not the goal. Although Allah says in the Quran: “Strive for the forgiveness of your Lord and Paradise,
the width of which is equal to the heavens and the earth, prepared for the God-fearing.”19
On the other hand, you are constantly imputed guilt for not being fully engaged in spreading religion (as
understood by the TJ). You do not devote enough time to this “honorable work”, you worry little about the
whole world, you sleep a lot, you give yourself a lot to worldly affairs [duniya]. “How can you eat and sleep
in peace when people in different parts of the world live and die without religion. They are all firewood for
hell, and you are selfish, thinking only of yourself. If you don’t do this work, there will be no happiness for
you in this world or in the future. Wherever you are, you must always have the instinct of Dawatist. Fikr
[thought]20 and gamm [distress]21 must not give you rest, because you are responsible for the whole world. If
you saw that a dog could not escape from a burning house?! After all, you would certainly make an effort to
save it. Now imagine that thousands of people around you could be in hell tomorrow and you didn't try to save
them,” the Tablighi members suggest to each other. This technique of manipulation — “you’re the chosen one
/ you’re the guilty one” is used very effectively in TJ.
Attitude towards others.
The TJ members are inculcated with the idea that they are the only happy people, that everyone around
them is a “second-class” person, doomed either to perdition or to the lowest degrees of Paradise, because they
do not share the teachings of the sect. Without this attribute, no sect can exist, for otherwise it is difficult to
explain to oneself and others why a TJ member needs to separate in lifestyle from ordinary Muslims, why one
is obliged to constantly advertise TJ teachings, and why TJ members are not accepted in society. Those who
do not understand this work, quit or neglect it, are considered unhappy; they are Muslims, of course, but not
full-fledged.
18 This status was invented by the Tablighi sheikhs themselves.
19 Quran 3:133.
20 That is, one must constantly think about who to call and take out on the “khurudz”.
21 That is, pain in the heart and worry for the whole world, for all people.

WATCH OUT THE CULT!
We used to look at those who don’t “go out” as miskins [poor people].
They say that if you couldn’t get “hidayat” here with the Tablighi Jamaat, if you didn’t comprehend the
truth in this work, if you didn’t get better here, then you can't get better anywhere else. Where else will you be
able to purify yourself like this? Become close to Allah? Where? Nowhere else. The tablighi, they say, is the
greatest endeavour. If you leave it, you will lose peace and happiness. That’s what they tell their adherents.
So it turns out that I, having converted to Islam and practiced it, must still follow the teachings of TJ? So
my Islam — with tawhid, Salaat, fasting, hajj, abstinence and keeping away from sins, teaching the basics of
Islam — is not yet of that quality and completeness?! If I become a Tablighi member and go to study in the
Indian Markaz, only then, according to them, will I become a true Muslim! By the way, there are people who
were first introduced to Islam through TJ. They thought that the Tablighi is what Islam is all about. They went
out with the TJ for three and for forty days. Then they walked around in turbans and Pakistani shirts, talking
to everyone about how Allah created everything, and after a while they not only left TJ, but they left Islam
altogether and, moreover, started drinking alcohol and having an immoral lifestyle. There are few of them, but
there are still some.
I think this is because, having learned a distorted version of Islam through TJ, they got an exorbitant dose
of “spiritual doping” when they went out with them to “khuruj” and found themselves in the first days of being
religious under the powerful pressure of the tartib and daily routine of the Tablighi. Too many things for the
first days of Islam. A lot of zikr, a lot of Salaat, a lot of dawat, a lot of night prayers, a lot of talk about religion.
There is emotional burnout going on. Actual violence to the soul. No neatness, caution, gradualness, tactfulness
with the human soul. Then a person is left alone, especially if in his region the work of TJ is not established,
as in India and Pakistan. He remains alone, and he cannot recreate these emotions, this euphoria. And he
doesn’t understand Islam yet. It’s just feelings.
Page 26
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
There is no one around, only illiterate Tablighi members who take him to ziyarats [visits], often there is
no work and no money. There is no opportunity to consult with knowledgeable imams, or he is deliberately
instilled so that he does not consult with anyone except the Tablighi members. He is only told that he still
needs to go out with the TJ, he needs to prepare for India. After a few months of such attempts, the man gives
up Salaat, gets disappointed in Islam and gets into all sorts of trouble. Since the certain equilibrium in his soul
he had before Islam was lost completely with the TJ. Once he leaves Islam, he can’t live in the old way, and
he’s no longer attracted to religion. So he walks around with a traumatized soul. Until he joins another sect.
Yaqin
The Tablighi Jamaat, among other things, places great emphasis on “self-improvement”, that is, on
developing “yaqin” [absolute confidence in Allah] in the believer. In other sects, this is called the development
of supernatural abilities. The adherents of sects are constantly inculcated with the need to develop such abilities
in order to distinguish themselves from ordinary people.
In the TJ, ordinary believers are not told explicitly that it is necessary to develop supernatural abilities. I
have not heard of such a thing. Usually the talk about “yaqin” boils down to learning to solve one’s problems
directly through Allah, through du’a and Salaat. True Quranic stories are cited about how the prophet Ibrahim
did not burn in the fire, and the sea opened before the prophet Musa. They say that “yaqin” is the most
important part of imah [faith], that it is the most important attribute of a believer. That said, the sheikhs of the
Tablighi assure that it is not necessary to test Allah by dipping one’s hands into boiling oil or by not working
anywhere. However, commoners (and such are the majority in the TJ) who do not have a strong Islamic
education understand “yaqin” as the ability to get money without working, to be healed without taking
medicine, to fly on planes without a ticket, etc.
Naturally, “yaqin” is part of the Islamic faith, one of the important spiritual attributes of a Muslim.
Annex 1079
12
Page 27
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
However, the ideologists of the Tablighi have exaggerated this single part of the faith to the global goal
of every true believer. All the troubles of the Ummah, as they assure us, turned out to be concentrated on the
issue of “yaqin”, i.e. the on lack of it. Allegedly, today the Ummah is weak and helpless, sinful and passive,
because its ordinary members have no “yaqin”. In turn, “yaqin” is brought up only through dawat, and dawat
should be done only as Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi — the founder of the TJ — taught it.
Every Tablighi member blames another Tablighi member, and the TJ sheikhs blame them all, that we (you,
them, etc.) have no “yaqin”. They blame us Muslims for being weak and helpless, that without “yaqin” we will
not see the Allah’s pleasure. In order to have such absolute confidence in Allah, it is necessary to constantly
do dawat and talk about the greatness of Allah. The sheikhs even stipulated that every Tablighi member should
talk to 25 people every day about the greatness of Allah. Otherwise, there will be no “yaqin”. Also, it is
necessary to allocate 2.5 hours daily only for visiting [ziyarats] and dawat. This is in addition to time for
fivefold Salaat, work, family and self-education!
The 2.5 hours mentioned by the Tablighi sheikhs were derived from a very poor hadith22 which says that
if the companions omit even a tenth of the religion, they will all perish and be lost. However, there will come
a time when Muslims will be saved by practicing at least one tenth of the religion. Hadith scholars have called
this hadith poor [munkar]23 and unsuitable for argumentation. And even assuming that this hadith is good
[hasan], how does it fit in the present times?! If the Tablighi members believe that such times have come, then
it follows that one tenth should even be performed of the fivefold Salaat?! And that one can fast for mere three
days during Ramadan?! This is nonsense!
Besides, consider what kind of a normal person with a family and a job would be able to talk to so many
people every day. 25 people! When?! Five people a day at most.
Page 28
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
Maybe ten. And spend two and a half hours every day on the Tabligh?!
Naturally, you can’t do it all. But if you have already imbibed the ideas of the Tablighi and become attached
to it, then you start to feel guilty, to blame yourself for being so weak, for not being able to leave worldly
affairs for the sake of Allah.
Here we have a paradox, a contradiction, a discrepancy. The Tablighi members say that it is necessary to
make dawat to save people from the flames of hell. This is understandable and correct. Then they say that
dawat is necessary for yourself, that you need it yourself in order to find “yaqin”. You have to talk to Muslims
so much about the greatness of Allah in order to finally gain full religion and that same “yaqin”.
“How will you gain “yaqin” if you haven’t even talked to three or four Muslims about the greatness of
Allah during the day? — say their buzurgs [elders]. How will full religion come to you if you do not give two
and a half hours to dawat every day?!”
Considering that the ordinary Tablighi member has no Islamic education, what can he say?! Of course, he
repeats what he has heard from other similarly illiterate adherents of the TJ, or from the TJ sheikhs if he
traveled to India, or heard from those who have traveled there, or he makes something up and says it himself.
Thus, everyone who is immersed in TJ is self-defeating and scourging others, constantly reproaching us
for not doing enough dawat and for not having “yaqin”. In order for “yaqin” to appear, one must devote one’s
whole life to religion and its propagation. Since we cannot go “in the way of Allah” for our entire lives by
devoting ourselves to the cause of dawat, it means that we have to “give Allah” at least one tenth of our lives.
Three days a month, forty days a year, four months at the first opportunity. Forty days a year is just for the
weak. People who do the real dawat, they say, give four months to religion every year.
Any speech, any appeal, any sermon ends with approximately the following words: “In order for a full
22 Al-Tirmidhi No. 2267; Al-Tabarani, “Al-Mu'jam as-Saghir” No. 1156.

“yaqin” on Allah to appear in our hearts, we need to go out on the paths of Allah...”
Page 29
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
In the Tablighi, they keep telling you: “Go out for 3, 40, 120 days, then the “yaqin” and understanding of
this great work will come to you.” You go out, and nothing comes, the understanding of “dawat” does not
come, and you are told again: “Go out again.” And you go out again hoping for something. You have to be on
“khuruj” until the last moment; you can't come back earlier, not even for one hour. So “three days” is 72 hours.
So you cannot go home even one hour earlier. Otherwise Allah will not accept your “going out” and you will
not get “yaqin”. Four months is 120 days and you cannot come back a day earlier.
If the person who is called to go out for “khuruj” says that he has problems, his wife is about to give birth,
his little son is seriously ill, he has large debts, etc., then he will be told: “What is the matter with you! If you
go out for three days, forty days, four months, Allah will solve all your problems. How will full religion,
“yaqin”, imah [faith] come to you if you do not sacrifice the dearest things?! You have to go out, no matter
what. You have to leave everything and go out with the TJ, then you will see the power of Allah and His
miracles!”
The cancer will be healed, the wife will be cured, debts and other problems will disappear. You just have
to go out. That is what the Tablighi members at different levels say all the time. People actually leave their
pregnant wives, long-term debts, and being sick themselves, go out in the hope of a miraculous cure. This
contradicts all religious and non-religious principles, the simple rules of society and humanity.
In 2007, the last time I went to India, my companion was my countryman. I knew he had heart problems.
He said that he had a heart defect, but he didn’t complain much and I didn’t go into details. My companion,
under the influence of all this Tablighi talk about “yaqin”, had a burning desire to go to India for four months,
as he later told me, with the hope of a miraculous cure “in the way of Allah” (i.e. on the Tablighi in India).
Meanwhile, his diagnosis was a heart defect, “Tetralogy of Fallot” in a very severe form. Air travel was
absolutely prohibited to him. He needed a strict diet, a daily regimen, scheduled medications — different and
expensive.

The tactics of recruitment
It should be noted that for various reasons, the Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) does not openly lure people of other
faiths into its ranks, unless, of course, they themselves are interested in this cult. Tablighists work exclusively
with Muslims, both with practitioners and with those who consider themselves Muslim by origin, but do not
abide by anything. What is the reason of this?! I think that according to the views of the leaders of the TJ,
bringing a non – Muslim into the cult is a rather laborious, costly and long process. It is easier to work with
someone who knows at least something about the religion of Allah, or at least in word considers themselves a
believer. After all, the number of adepts and Tablighi centers in various areas of the globe should be increased,
and if you call others together with the Muslims, the process will be delayed, and will also attract excessive
attention of the competent authorities.
In addition, Tablighi sheikhs claim that their goal is precisely to return Muslims to Islam, i.e. to its Indian-
Tablighi interpretation. And then, when the Muslims themselves begin to live according to the “full religion”,
then other peoples will also gravitate towards Islam. I remember that quite often, when we were in a particular
area, we loudly declared to the local Muslims that we were Dawatists and had come to make the call. Then,
the locals, excited, invited us to speak to Christians or Russian atheists, to which we replied that “we do dawat
only to Muslims.” They looked at us in confusion, and then we had to resolve this contradiction, explaining
that “we came to correct ourselves through dawat and an additional set of so-called prophetic acts.”
This again caused confusion, and we had to explain to the locals that “you need to go out with us for at
least three days, and then you will understand everything. And until you come out with our Jamaats, you will
not understand the meaning of life. Only by joining the TJ and starting to go out on the three-day and fortyday
“khuruj” will you be able to understand “the prophetic work and the true essence of Islam.
Page 2
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
But if you can get out for four months, then this is actually superb!”
It turns out that one of the main areas of Tablighi activity is to convince a person to go out with TJ for three,
forty days and four months. After all, in an ordinary home environment, in the family circle, working,
answering calls, it is almost impossible to embrace the ideas of TJ. But by limiting the information and
communication space of a person and by taking him out of his usual environment, it is much easier to place
pressure on him and manipulate his inner world, putting new ideas and thoughts into his consciousness. This
is the tactic of all the world's destructive cults. Both religious and non-religious.
The main thing is to pull a person out of his daily life and gain control over:
1) his behavior;
2) his thinking (thoughts);
3) his emotions (feelings);
4) the information that he gains.
This is a universal technique used by all closed-type organizations. In such conditions, critical thinking is
completely disabled. And then, by maintaining such constant control, a person can be implanted with anything,
especially if the cult pretends to be a representative of a traditional religion that ordinary people are accustomed
to trust.
Annex 1080

The leaders and ideologists of destructive and pseudo-religious movements pay great attention to meeting
the four basic human needs:
1) need for oneness;
2) need for balance;
3) need for relevance to other people;
4) need to imitate.
Tablighi Jamaat is no exception here. The need for relevance to others is satisfied through the “You are
the chosen one / you are the guilty one” manipulation, which we discussed in the first part.
A good many Tablighists say that they are very attracted to Tablighi by a clear, well-established and, most
importantly, unified system of activity [tartib] throughout the world.
page 3
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
Of course, here, on the one hand, there is a need for community, and on the other hand, there is a need for
structure.
Every Tablighists, realizing that he is not alone and that his cult is worldwide, already feels like a part of
one big friendly community. Moreover, he is sure that TJ is the place where he will be understood without
many words, where he knows exactly how and what to say and what not to say.
He knows how to behave, and how to distinguish himself in this system and be accepted/recognized. And
he knows what to look out for, so as not to become rejected.
And when he swallows the idea of his own importance, the desire to become a part of “something great”
appears by inertia, involuntarily. Because he is not alone! Brothers are everywhere! Besides, everything is so
clear in TJ (as, indeed, in any other cult). Everything is explained and systematized. There are those who think
and decide for you. There are people you can trust and consult with.
The modern world is so diverse, sometimes even chaotic. A person needs to make certain, sometimes
considerable efforts to find himself in this world, to somehow organize, “pull himself together”, to systematize
his attitude towards life and the information that comes before him. And here, of course, due to various
circumstances, external and internal, a person can fall into the networks of recruiters (campaigners) of various
cults. They are ready to offer him their vision of reality and their way to bring it into harmony with himself
and with this world. And thus satisfy its need for structure.
Ordinary Muslims who come to TJ, who are not brought up in the spirit of “work on yourself, have clear
life plans, set high goals for yourself, do not follow the lead of chance”, with happiness and sincerity accept
the Tablighi system of life and consider it true. They admire it, try to build their lives according to the
recommendations of the main sheikhs (mashaikh) and, most importantly, they strongly offer it to others. That's
exactly what they say: “We have found a purpose in life, we have learned why we are here, our chaotic,
bustling life has found meaning and a certain order.” As a result, many adepts of both TJ and other destructive
cults find it difficult to leave the sect.

[…]
Then, in search of protection and patronage of a strong tribe, the Messenger of Allah decided to go to the
city of Taif, having considered that the tribe of Saqif, who inhabited this city, had significant power and that
if its inhabitants accept Islam, they will act as protectors for the believers. When he reached Ta’if, he met with
the three chiefs who ruled the city, and after talking about Islam, he called on them to recognize the religion
of Allah and help the Muslims. Instead, however, without paying any honors or showing any signs of respect
to the guest who visited their city, they started being rude, showering Him with sharp and impertinent
answers… Seeing such a rude and boorish attitude on the part of the chiefs, the Messenger of Allah decided to
talk to the ordinary residents of the city. But even they, instead of listening to the Prophet, began to drive Him
out of the city with mockery, throwing stones at him. His shoes were stained red from the blood that ran down
His wounded body. Returning back to Mecca, the Messenger of Allah, finding a secluded place, opened his
hands and said a prayer to the Almighty Creator... At that moment, the angel Jibril appeared with the angel in
Annex 1080
3
charge of the mountains, and said that the Prophet could command the angel of the mountains to do whatever
he wanted. But the Messenger of Allah answered to the angels: “I hope that even if these do not accept Islam,
then by the will of Allah, their successive generations will become those who will worship Allah and recognize
Him as their Lord.6” Tablighists cite this story as proof that the Prophet himself personally made dawat
[calling], traveling long distances on foot, i.e., he performed ziyarat [gesht, javla], visited people in order to
call them to Islam. With this story, HTs prove their strategy, that it is necessary to seek support from strong
and influential leaders [Talab Al-Nusra]. However, the main meaning of this story is connected with the
description of the character of the Prophet, who had an immense kindness and gentleness of soul.
Assessment of the activities of the adept of the Tablighi Jamaat
The actual value of an adept of TJ and his prestige are evaluated not by his knowledge and righteousness,
as is generally accepted in Islam, but by the number of people he managed to bring out for three, forty, one
hundred and twenty days. His organizational skills are also highly appreciated.
Page 8
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
The fact that he can gather the Jamaat, lead them to the Khuruj, create a TJ cell in his region, be in constant
contact with the Delhi center [Markaz] Nizamudin. Therefore, mashwara [meetings] are constantly held in
Tablighi. By frequency: daily, weekly, monthly, annual, and there are also emergency meetings. By territory
coverage: district, city, state and mainland areas.
At such meetings, Tablighists tell each other and their leaders about their activities and the activities of the
brothers in the region. How many people went out for three days, how many went out for forty days and four
months. In how many places (mosques) regular Tablighi work is carried out, in how many houses taglim
(training) is carried out. All of this, of course, is necessary both for the report, and to increase personal selfesteem,
and to make the less active one feel uncomfortable, ashamed that he has prepared few people for forty
days or four months against the background of others.
Mashwara [meeting] is also held in order to conduct an analysis of newcomers who have recently joined
the TJ. Such meetings are rather spontaneous, when experienced Tablighists and community leaders, as if by
chance, express their personal opinions, which are sometimes contradictory, on each specific person. Whether
they see any promise in him, whether he is expected to be useful for the common cause, whether he will be
imbued with the ideas of the cult or remain a passive participant. I have heard, for example, that so-and-so
only talks a lot and beautifully about dawat, and so he is of no use. He loves all Muslims, supports all trends,
but does not go out with TJ to Khuruj and does not sacrifice anything. We shouldn’t waste our attention on
him, they say.
Selection of adepts
Tablighi Jamaat, like many other totalitarian cults, systematically gets rid of persons who sympathize, but
do not possess the necessary qualities.
Pages 9-10
And this is one of the main differences between destructive cults and traditional religions — the latter are
usually open to everyone. Tablighists, who associate themselves with mercy and gentleness, certainly do not
rudely reject Muslims who are unsuitable or unnecessary to their movement. Such people are simply ignored,
payed no attention to, and they themselves gradually move away from the TJ.
You become necessary for Tablighi if you consistently go out for three, forty, and one hundred and twenty
days, sacrifice your time and property, attract new members, and are ready to go on “taqaz” [Tablighi errands]
without hesitation, and, again, at the expense of personal strength and resources. No financial support from the
center [Markaz]. The most important “reward” is the approval or gratitude of the Indian and Pakistani “leading
sheikhs” (Mashaihs). And this is the highest achievement for a Tablighi adept.

Gesht, javlya, ziyarat (detour, visits)
These few words in TJ describe the ways to work directly with people to attract them to the ranks of a
destructive cult. Meaning that these are targeted visits by Tablighists to random or pre-selected Muslims. To
describe these visits, we will use the Arabic word “javlya”, which means “walk” in English. Javlya can be
“umumiya” and “khususiya”, i.e. general and special, respectively. It is also necessary to take into account that
in some countries the activities of TJ are recognized as extremist. Therefore, the external conduct of Javli there
may differ from what we will describe below. There will be more conspiracy, more secrecy, and fewer Jamaat
members, but the essence remains the same.
Javlya umumiya usually occurs after the third salat ‘asr and lasts about half an hour. It is preceded by a
speech by one of the pre-appointed Tablighists. He talks about the merits of “javlya” and the order of its
execution. In the TJ language, such a sermon is called “adabul-gesht”. After a short speech, the duties of the
members of the Jamaat are distributed. A “mutakallim” (speaker), a guide (“dalil or rahbar”), the one who
speaks of Allah (“zakir”) and a leader (“amir”) are appointed.
[…]
The one who remembers Allah quietly makes a zikr, and if the Tablighists who have come out to “jawla”
start joking or are distracted by extraneous conversations, then “zakir” begins to speak zikr loudly to remind
colleagues of their main mission.
Page 11
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
The leader of the group at some point makes the necessary decisions about which way to go, who to talk
to or not to, or orders to return to the mosque. “Amir” is needed precisely to make a final decision, having
previously collected the opinions of the group. And when he says “faisal”, i.e. makes a decision, everyone
comes back together. At the same time, another part of the Jamaat remains in the mosque and carries out
parallel activities. One person must be assigned separately for “zikr-fikr-dua”. His function is to pray to
Allah for the success of the event, i.e. “javlya”, so that as many people as possible come out on the “path of
Allah” with the Tablighi Jamaat. He should be filled completely with feelings and praise Allah a lot.
If the group is large enough, then among those who stay in the mosque for the duration of “javlya”, “istikbal”
are assigned, i.e. those who stand at the entrance to the mosque and meet those who come to the house of Allah.
A person is also assigned for “qalam-julus”. This is a leisurely conversation about religion in a mosque while
the “javlya” is going on. A Tablighi sits down in a mosque in a prominent place, gathers a few Muslims around
him and begins to tell them everything that comes to his mind about Islam. “Qalam-julus” is translated from
Arabic – “the conversation of the seated”. Everyone who comes to the mosque during the “javlya” is invited
to join this conversation. When the group led by Amir returns from the “javlya”, usually all those who have
been assigned to a role, stop their related activities and start individual affairs [a’mal infiradia]. Usually it is
either the evening zikr or the reading of the Quran. After the evening prayer [maghreb] comes the culmination
of the “working day” of the Tablighists. This is the evening Bayan [speech, sermon].
Evening Bayan
Generally, this event is not assigned to beginners. Usually, someone more experienced is assigned to the
evening Bayan. The purpose of this speech is to encourage the maximum number of Muslims who came to the
mosque to leave the TJ for 120 days, 40 days or 3 days.
Page 12

Annex 1080

The one, who came out for the first time, still does not understand where he is and what is required of him.
In addition, he needs to be shown how the “evening Bayan” is performed. Therefore, the novice is asked to sit
quietly, observe and learn. The Bayan does not go beyond the scope of the “six qualities”. The speaker first
talks a lot about the greatness of Allah, then switches to talking about the importance of the religion of Islam
and the need to encourage people to believe in Allah. And everything seems quite acceptable from the
perspective of the teachings of Islam. But at some point, the speaker begins to put pressure on the feelings.
First, he loudly declares that all the companions [sahaabah] went out on the way of Allah for life and gave
all their time to religion. Yes, undoubtedly, they called people to Islam and it was through them that we learned
about our religion. They taught us the teaching [sunnah] of The Messenger of Allah. However, we have no
right to say that they went out and abandoned everything. They had families, jobs, worries. After all, they were
just worshipping Allah [doing ibadat] and they did not create the dawat system that Muhammad Ilyas
Kandahlawi came up with. The history of the spread of Islam under the companions is rich, multifaceted and
instructive. And it can not be narrowed down and limited like this.
Second, the speaker, addressing the audience, blames them for not working for the spread of Islam, not
sacrificing their money and time. However, sacrifice [qurbani] according to their beliefs should be performed
only within the framework of the activities and teachings of the Tablighi Jamaat. The one, who is present, can
say that he is building a mosque, or translating Arabic books about Islam, or studying at an Islamic university,
etc., and that he is already doing something for Islam. And he is assured that this is not enough, that it is
necessary to join the TJ and then he will understand the truth of Islam and the meaning of life. And then he
will make a real “qurbani”.
Thirdly, at the end of the Bayan, the speaker loudly declares: “The Sahaabahs set out to dawat [on the way
of Allah] for life. We are very weak and are not able to sacrifice so globally. Therefore, our superiors [buzurghi,
scholars] have determined the order of when we set out on the path of Allah. That's four months, at least once
in a lifetime …
Page 13
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
… forty days every year, three days every month, and two and a half hours every day! Who is ready to go
out in the path of Allah, on dawat?”
And here begins the direct persuasion of listeners. First, they write down those who are ready to leave for
four months, record their intentions and when they are ready to leave. Then the forty-dayers, and then the
three-dayers. Those who express a desire to join the TJ for any period of time should raise their hand and stand
up, boldly voicing their intention with the words “I am ready!”. Tablighists around him, usually loudly rejoice
saying: “Masha’Allah! May Allah accept it! May Allah accept your intention!” A group of Tablighists is
intentionally seated separately in different places of the mosque. Such an order is given to them in advance by
the Amir. This is done so that, as soon as the direct persuasion of the listeners begins, these guys come into
direct contact with those sitting next to them, and encourage them to put their name on the list of those
intending to leave the TJ for one of the periods. Usually the members of the group themselves stand up and
say loudly: “I am ready to go out for a lifetime in the way of Allah!” From the outside, it seems that there is
some kind of performance. Noisy, everyone is having fun, the buzz of voices, jokes. Then it all ends with a
collective du’a appeal to Allah with prayers.
Theologian Syndrome
At first, anyone who has joined the TJ is wildly shy of public speeches and even of individual conversations
somewhere on the street or during visits. But if he goes out with TJ several times for three days, or at least
once for forty days, then his tongue literally loosens.
Firstly, the call of TJ is unelaborated and uncomplicated. Secondly, when you join this movement, you
have to talk a lot, willing or not. Third, Tablighists have penetrated and continue to penetrate where other
preachers have not yet treaded, where people are religiously illiterate (and in general, perhaps, particularly
uneducated) and, as a rule, do not enter into disagreements with Dawatists. Fourthly, there is also an external
reformation in the form of the constant wearing of a skullcap, turban and long clothes.
Page 14
Annex 1080

TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE
And they are really taken for “alims and imams”, even though many of them can not even read the first
surah of the Quran correctly. Fifthly, TJ appeals only to Muslims, and there is still goodness, kindness, and
hospitality in our Ummah. And so many people, who Tablighists speak to, just silently stand and listen, shy to
interrupt or to stop them. Sixthly, the Tablighi ideologists do not place any strict requirements on their adepts
regarding the reliability of the ideology they convey. “The main thing is to speak from the heart, Allah will
tell you, He will teach you, the main thing is sincerity [ikhlas] and feelings [gamm] for the whole world” - so
say the main sheikhs. Moreover, Mashiahs themselves show by their example that one can freely appeal
endlessly with life examples, parables, and unverified stories from the lives of the prophets and the righteous.
This method of preaching in Islamic science is called “Al-Qass”, that is, the narration of stories, and the
people who do this are called “Al-Qassas”, meaning storyteller, narrator. This method in itself is not
reprehensible, because both in the Quran and in reliable hadiths we will find many interesting and reliable
stories and parables. However, with the departure of the companions [sahaabah] and their disciples, when the
boundaries of Islam were significantly expanded and numerous peoples with their previous beliefs, folklore
and customs entered Islam, the number of so-called “qassasin” (storytellers, narrators) increased.
Righteousness began to disappear from the masses, religiosity diminished, and some individuals, perhaps out
of sincere motives, in order to somehow attract Muslims to observe the laws of Allah, began to invent prophetic
stories, to build up lies about the Prophet Muhammad or His companions. Attributing to them some tearful
hadiths about punishments in the grave and in hell, or about pleasures in paradise.
They justified themselves by saying that they had a good intention, that they wanted good for the Ummah.
But when these fictional stories came out of their mouths, they actually turned into “hadiths from Ali or Abu
Hurairah”. And the commoners picked up these fictitious sayings and passed by word of mouth as authentic
prophetic utterances.
Page 15
WATCH OUT THE CULT!
It is told that a young man approached the famous hadith scholar Shu’ba bin al-Ḥajjāj and asked him about
some hadith. And Shu’ba asked him: “Are you a storyteller?” He replied: “Yes.” “Go away,” said Shu’ba, “we
do not give hadiths to the Al-Qassas.” “Why?” He asked. “They take a hadith the size of a palm from us and
make it the size of an elbow,” Shu’ba told him. That is, they add to it their own details.
The modern storytellers (Qassas) can be safely attributed to Tablighists. After a forty-day or four-month
outing, the Tablighist, in reality, imagines himself as the God’s chosen one, who brings the light of truth to the
lost ignorant. During such a long contact with the Tablighits, he collects a sufficient number of different
Hadiths, parables, life examples, heard here and there. He gathers the skills of public speaking, gets imbued
with the feelings suggested by Mashiahs, and then, finally, he is already a Dawatist. He sees that no one
contradicts him, most of them listen to him very carefully. Some even admire his speeches and say that here,
they say, I heard the truth from him! The template of his speech is always prepared – it is six qualities and a
conversation about the greatness of Allah. At the same time, he is not burdened with the baggage of Islamic
knowledge, he cannot determine the category of Hadith, and he does not speak Arabic. And as a result, he
becomes unstoppable!
He speaks and speaks… He begins to make comments on the verses, hadiths, the words of scholars, gives
an example of his life situations, and, again, gives them his own “Sharia” assessment. He begins to criticize
Muslims for their inaction, for their lack of experience and non-participation in the work of religion. Thus,
almost every Tablighist becomes a self-appointed orator, critic, theologian from the people. Yes, and
commoners begin to turn to him with Sharia questions, ask him for advice, and now he thinks he is a sheikh
and forgets that he is the same as them. And he, with an air of importance, begins to make decisions, give
instructions, and even tries to answer complex theological problems.
Of course, there are those among them who honestly say that they do not know something, but most of
them are so used to talking a lot …
Pages 16-17
TABLIGH – A LOOK FROM THE INSIDE

… and thinking that they are Dawatists [preachers], who save the world and do the “work” of a Prophet
that they simply cannot stop. With such seemingly good intentions, some Muslims distort the religion,
introduce a lot of false information into it, and become false experts of Islam.
On how I left Tablighi Jamaat
The first reason
The process of my escape from this cult began in 2007. And it proceeded gradually, stage by stage. It all
started with the tragedy of my friend, whom I told you about in the first part. I was deeply shocked by the way
TJ deceptively presents the tenets of faith to simple, sincere believers. There is a real violence against the soul
and feelings of a person. Please note that participants in psychocults and commercial cults are often chronically
ill, insecure, weak-willed, people full of complexes, because at seminars they are taught that they will gain
confidence, strength, and even health.
In TJ, something similar happens. A person is asserted that by acquiring “yaqin”, he will be able to
overcome any disease, problem and rise to the level of saints [Auliya]. But to do this, you need to go out for 4
months on “khuruj”. Muslims, like my friend, go out and get nothing. People strive to join the cult, spend their
strength and money, sincerely sacrifice their most expensive, leaving their families behind. They deprive them
of their attention and care, giving preference to the sect. And all for what? Many people want to solve their
personal long-standing problems by joining the cult. This, of course, is not a reproach to those who are
burdened with difficulties. At least they strive for the best.
However, the participants of TJ, like the participants of many other cults, SPECULATE on human problems,
luring the sufferers into their ranks under the pretext that their problems will be solved with them. And did the
Prophet Muhammad carry out his prophetic mission in this way?! Did he call for this?! Did he deceive people
in this way?! He simply called on people to believe in the One Lord, called on them to follow Islam. He didn't
set deadlines, seminars, or promise to cure illnesses or pay off debts.

In December 2006, 25 members of this organisation, prohibited in the territory of Russia since 2003, were
detained in Kazan.
The danger of this organisation lies in the intention of its members to destroy the State from within. Since the
50-60s of the last century, Hizb ut-Tahrir has engaged in organising coups and preparing assassination attempts
on well-known public officials. With this aim, they infiltrate governmental organs, enforcement structures;
establish control over the State’s authority.
After an unsuccessful missionary experience in Arab countries, the first Hizb ut-Tahrir cells appeared in the
states of Central Asia. We know about the riots that they organised in Andijan and Bishkek. Having gained
popularity in the Asian republics, the Hizbut workers moved their activities to Russia. To do this, they actively
used migrant workers from Central Asia, who were mostly Uzbek, converted to the new faith.

On 22-30 March, the CEPU hosted a Week of the Faculty of History, Arts, the Crimean Tatar Language and
Literature. For almost nine days, events were held one after another, where students and teachers of departments
tried to show all the versatility of the faculty’s activities.
The second round of the Crimean Tatar Language Olympiad held on 22 March by the Department of Crimean
Tatar and Turkish Linguistics opened the series of festive events.
26 March can be safely called a kaleidoscope of bright moments. On this day, the Department of Fine Arts
presented the exhibition “Crimea in Our Heart”. The paintings were available in the lobby of the university.
In the Marble Hall, an enchanting fashion show was held in honor of the opening of the exhibition “Colors of
Taurida” arranged by the Department of Decorative Art on the initiative of its head, Candidate of Arts Sciences
Elena Kotlyar. All demonstrated costumes were created by students under the guidance of a senior lecturer of the
department Vera Levitskaya. Not only student works, but also the creations of the teaching staff of the
department were presented in the hall.
The Department of Art of Singing and Conducting has made an almost historic step in the creative life of the
university. For the first time in the CEPU, a vocal competition “KMPU altyn sesleri” was held in the Assembly
Hall, in which everyone who wanted to show their singing talent took part.
[…]
A little later, the Department of Crimean Tatar Literature and Journalism hosted the Competition on Crimean
Tatar and Turkish literature called “Ilham çoqraği”.
On 27 March, the presentation of the monograph “Cultural Space of National Avant-garde” by the Candidate of
Philosophical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Decorative Art Veronika Shevchuk took place.

Bakhshish. Publicists, singers, musicians and teachers came not only to remember the great man and honor his
memory, but also to tell students about him. Several of the master’s works were performed thanks to the artists
of the Crimean Tatar Music and Drama Theater, teachers, and students of the Department of Art of Singing and
Conducting.

For 145 years, Stepan Vasilyevich Rudansky (1834-1873), Yalta city doctor, an honorary magistrate of the
Simferopol-Yalta District, a Ukrainian poet, translator and public figure, has been buried at the Polikurovsky
memorial.
Upon arrival in Yalta in 1861, S. Rudansky took the position of a city doctor, later became the first sanitary
and veterinary doctor of the city and county. Two years later, he was a quarantine doctor in the villages of the
South Coast, and in the autumn of 1863 he got a job as a doctor of the estates of duke M. Vorontsov. In
addition, Stepan Rudansky was the initiator of the opening of a hospital in Bakhchisaray (1863), the birth of
sanitary work on the Southern Coast of Crimea (1864), the generation of medical assistant posts (1865), as
well as the first medical library in the Crimea (Yalta, 1865).
On the day of Stepan Rudansky’s death, 3 May, employees of the Yalta Historic and Literature Museum

On May 18, the gymnasium held remembrance lessons, thematic classes devoted to the Day of
Remembrance of the victims of the deportation of the peoples of Crimea.
The peninsula honors the memory of the victims of the deportation three times a year: the Crimean Tatars –
18 May (celebrated officially since 1994), Bulgarians, Armenians, Greeks – 24 June, Germans – 18 August.
In total, during 1941-1944 over 300,000 people were deported.
“The past has by no means passed. It will continue to live as a feeling, as a self-awareness... not as history
with its factuality, but as a product of interpretations that endow it with meaning... If the past were just

the Crimean khans of the Girei dynasty, the national heritage of the Crimean Tatars, attracted a large number
of university youth and the CEPU employees. The guest of honor of the event was Ruslan Ismailovich
Balbek, the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. The outline of the monument
“Vozrozhdenie”, on the site near which the participants gathered, symbolically fit into the format of the
event. Many enthusiastic faces of national representatives filled the area at the entrance to the university to
celebrate the significant date together.
At the beginning of the event, the guest of the event R.I. Balbek and Ch.F. Yakubov, the rector of the CEPU
made welcoming and congratulatory speeches. A small cultural program that followed included reading
poems on the theme of the holiday, which Vesile Menusmanova and Zeyneb Ibraimova, students of Crimean
Tatar philology, composed especially for the Day of the Crimean Tatar Flag. From the makeshift stage, the
participants of the event heard signing of Razie Seitablayeva and Ellina Sosnovskaya, talented female
vocalists of our university, who performed songs about Crimea. In the final of the event, the girls from the
choreographic ensemble Uchan-su and the vocal ensemble “Djan” performed, followed by a thematic
flashmob, which made a bright final contribution to the festive atmosphere. The participants of the event
received joyful impressions, a charge of delight and pride for their national symbol!

As part of the month of security in the gymnasium, there were classes on combating the spread of false
reports of an act of terrorism. In addition, students were offered a series of videos on the prevention of
terrorism.
The main purpose of these classes was to inform students about the criminal responsibility of persons who
knowingly spread false information about an act of terrorism, which is punishable under Part 2 of Article 20,
and Article 207 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Osan Ibraimovich Umerov, an inspector from the Juvenile Affairs Department, was invited to the school to
conduct explanatory work; he touched on many legal aspects in his talk, and also gave examples of what
telephone terrorism is and what it can entail.

Teenagers often count on the fact that if they report an explosive device by phone, their involvement in such
an act will not be established. However, this is a big misconception.
In today’s world, law enforcement agencies have the necessary resources to identify the owner of the phone
number from which the offender made the call and the location from which the call was made.
The students of the gymnasium were also informed that the public danger of this crime is expressed in the fact
that a deliberately false report disrupts public order and the daily rhythm of society, and the responsibility
for such an action is stipulated for persons who have attained the age of 14 years!

The Department of Ukrainian Philology of the Faculty of Slavic Philology and Journalism hosted the
XVII Scientific and Practical Conference “The creative work of Lesya Ukrainka and other writers of the new
era in the context of the tendencies of dramatization and theatricalization of the artistic process”.
The conference was held for three days (24-26 October) at three traditional sites. In addition to the Department
of Ukrainian Philology of the Taurida Academy, the Crimean Engineering and Pedagogical University and the
Humanitarian and Pedagogical Academy in Yalta welcomed the participants of the conference.
The event was attended by teachers and students of various structural units of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal
University and other Crimean universities as well as teachers of Crimean schools.
The conference dedicated to the creative work of Lesya Ukrainka has been organized by the Department of
Ukrainian Philology since 2002. Today the event has expanded the scope of research, so in addition to literary,
linguistic and culturological reports dedicated to Lesya Ukrainka, reports on various other topics were
presented. For instance, at the breakout sessions, participants discussed the literature of their native land,
Crimean motives in art works, the Slavic pantheon, contemporary problems of literary genology (Christmas
story, fan fiction, fantasy), the work of contemporary authors (Lyuko Dashvar, Maria Matios, Svyatoslav
Vakarchuk), etc.
As part of the event, the teachers and students of the Department of Ukrainian Philology went to Yalta to visit
the monument and the Museum of Lesya Ukrainka and continue the conference. A meet-the-artist session with
Yalta poets Viktor Vinogradov and Denis Mokrentsov became memorable. The authors read poems, talked
about the beginning of their creative paths and revealed some of the secrets of their creativity. After the talk,
the members of the audience who were especially interested in poetry had the opportunity to further
communicate with the authors.
The conference was productive, so it is expected that it will be continued next year.

“Like the colours of the rainbow, we are united forever”
On 30 November, the assembly hall of the Municipal Budgetary General Educational Institution -
the Training and Educational Centre “School Academy” hosted the festival “Like the Colours of the
Rainbow, We are United Forever” dedicated to the International Day for Tolerance. Students of the 4th and
5th grades chose ethnicities and staged welcoming performances about them, showing features of folk
costumes. A musical contest turned out to be the most joyful and memorable event. Children sang songs
and performed folk dances.
The event’s main objective was to show that friendship unites people and peoples. They all live
happily together.
By organizing such festivities, attempts are made to teach children once again how to
communicate and respect the views and likes of others, not to divide people by age, health, race, or
religion - these are unspoken rules that, unfortunately, are not accepted in every society.
The International Day for Tolerance is a day renowned for its events dedicated to the culture and
customs of other peoples.
We should not forget lessons that history teaches us: Russia is only strong as long as it is united!
