May 18 is the date when Ukraine and people worldwide commemorate victims of deportation of the Crimean Tatar people in 1944. This was one of the most atrocious crimes of the Soviet totalitarian regime. More than 45% of the deportees died due to malnutrition, illnesses, and forced labor during the early years after the deportation. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine recognized the deportation of 1944 as a genocide of the Crimean Tatar people.
