It is a stark reminder that both Nazism and Soviet totalitarian rule relied on the same oppressive methods, degrading human dignity and disregarding the value of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the context of Crimea, this day holds special significance. The peninsula witnessed a double tragedy: first the Nazi occupation, and later Stalinist repressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the German occupation of Crimea from 1941 to 1944, tens of thousands of people perished at the hands of the Nazis. The Jews of Crimea and the Karaites were systematically exterminated in mass shootings. Other residents of the peninsula also suffered, many were persecuted, forced into labour, or executed. The memory of these crimes reminds us of the horrific consequences of Nazism for the civilian population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the liberation of the peninsula from the Nazis did not bring freedom to Crimea. In 1944, the Stalinist regime committed a new crime: the violent deportation of the Crimean Tatar people, along with the expulsion of Armenians, Bulgarians, Greeks, and other ethnic groups. Thousands perished on the way or in exile from hunger, disease, and terrible living conditions. For Crimea, it was a devastating tragedy, the consequences of which are still being felt today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We must never forget these horrific events and the dangers of totalitarian ideologies that devalue human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We must continue protecting freedom, dignity, and human rights. The memory of these tragedies of the past must serve as a guarantee that such crimes will never be repeated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":75973,"template":"","publication-type":[43],"class_list":["post-75972","press-center","type-press-center","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","publication-type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism - Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/en\/press-center\/european-day-of-remembrance-for-victims-of-stalinism-and-nazism\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism - Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In cooperation with the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine, materials were prepared for the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Nazism and Stalinism.
