Why did Stalin deport the Tatars from Crimea?
How much credibility is there in the official reason of collaboration with the Germans?
>claim to hate nazis / nationalists
>apply collective guilt to ethnic groups
Every time

Stalin didn't hate nationalism, though.
>>1150687
He was basically a Russian supremacist but he did declare to be against nationalism. Just commie things.
>>1150697
Lenin and the Old Bolsheviks declared to be against nationalism, Stalin himself abandoned most of those tenants when he shot the Old Bolsheviks.
A central part of Stalinism is the country, that's why it's called "Socialism in One Country," and a chief aspect of it is Soviet socialist patriotism, or "Soviet nationalism."
So, he singled out the Tatars because he viewed them to be against the "Soviet" people, not the "Russian" people. Stalin, himself, was a Georgian.

In the same sense Napoleon was Italian. Stalin changed his name to a Russian one and the entire USSR underwent severe russification under him.
>>1150721
This may have been a consequence of Russian nationalism working its way into the party, however.
Stalin published "Marxism and the National Question" in 1919 and was a proponent of korenizatsiya, the policy of "derussifying" indigenous peoples, earlier on.
Later on in his reign, especially after WW2, Stalin seemed to appeal to nationalist sentiments in the Russian population much more. This is evidenced by making Russian mandatory in all schools and so on.
So, I do believe that Russian nationalism had creeped into his specific form of Soviet nationalism, but I don't think that he separated the two in his own mind.

>being a Russian supremacist despite being an ethnic Georgian born in Georgia
Dude had issues, reminds me of that guy in the American Nazi Party who killed himself after a reporter published proof that he was a Jew
>>1150736
More like he revealed his power level after Lenin croaked.
>appeal to nationalism
He was the architect of that shit, that's why he purged all the Jews from the NKVD as well.

>Corsicans are Italians
Hello Nigel

Tbh, the Crimean Tartars deserved what they got. Their main contribution to world history was slave raids across Ukraine that depopulated half of the country for centuries.

>muh historical guilt
Guess we should deport everyone of British descent from America because of killing natives.
>>1150868
He was.
>>1150861
You know, that happened literally 200 years before WW2.
>>1150823
Only in the two ways that count, linguistically and ethnically
>>1150877
Natives are wildlife.

>exterminating wildlife
>Good
>>1150882

>>1150861
Yeah I guess the Ukes got what they deserved with the Holodomor for their actions in the Cossack uprising.
>>1151019
>implying
Any other reasons
>>1150985
Those who talked shit were long dead by that point.
>>1150886
And the ukranians aren't?
>>1150551
So that future generations could have qt part-Tatar Russians.
