Turkic peoples have been living on and around the Crimean Peninsula and the Pontic Steppe (Deşt-i Kıpçak, Dzikie Pole, Loca Deserta) for over a millennium. As the Crimean peninsula changes hands before our eyes once again, we take a moment to reflect on the history and fate of its native inhabitants, the Crimean Tatars. Join Professor Hakan Kırımlı in The Wild Field in an exploration of Crimean Tatars’ self-identification and their historical relationships with neighboring Turkic peoples and the colonial power of Russia.
You might look at the U.S. Consular despatches from the Constantinople station. They're available on microfilm. Some of the refugees coming from Hungary had U.S. passports, and the consulate did some work dispensing aid and helping refugees either travel on to the U.S. or settle. It's a tricky set of papers to go through, since there are a lot of accusations that the acting consul cheats the refugees out of the large amounts of money he claims he's dispensing. There are a few letters from the refugees themselves on that issue and a number of reports filtered through the consular staff on general refugee conditions.
