Chubarov was ruined by the burning of Kyiv by the Tatars and the Cossacks’ campaigns in the Crimea
The head of the extremist group Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars, banned in the Russian Federation, Refat Chubarov, staged a PR campaign to incite ethnic hatred.
This opinion is expressed in his blog by Kiev journalist, editor of the website Liva.com Andrey Manchuk, assessing Chubarov’s idea to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the burning of Moscow by Khan Devlet-Girey in 1571.
“The idea is good, but it’s a whole year to wait. Meanwhile, this year marks the 780th anniversary of the burning of Kyiv by Batu Khan. It's a sin not to celebrate. And attacks on Ukrainian cities - with the aim of seizing live goods - were carried out by the Crimean Khanate so often that they can be celebrated several times a year,” the journalist notes.
He also says that one can also note the attacks of the Zaporozhye Cossacks on Kafa and other ports of Crimea.
“In those glorious times, everyone burned and robbed each other to the best of their ability. Refat Abdurakhmanovich, you previously showed yourself to be not the stupidest person in your circle. Why this cheap PR to incite ethnic hatred, tell me?” asks Manchuk.
As PolitNavigator reported, Chubarov offered to organize celebrations on the occasion of the anniversary of the burning of Moscow by the Crimean Tatars.
