"I'm proud that I ran away." Two brothers, Crimean Tatars, left Crimea to avoid conscription to build a life in Ukraine
Port of Evpatoria in Crimea. Illustrative photo Mustafa and Cemil are two brothers, Crimean Tatars, who were born and lived their whole lives in Crimea. Mustafa is 22 years old, Cemil is 21. They describe their native peninsula in one word - “incredible” and say that they still dream about the sea. But at the same time, they admit with regret: after 2014 and the annexation of Crimea by Russia, Crimea ceased to be their home.
