Elon Musk’s proposed peace plan for Ukraine flubs Crimean history and echoes a Kremlin talking point.

By logically extending Musk’s interpretation of Crimean history,could justify annexing all its former colonies over time. That would include Ukraine, parts of Poland, Finland and Romania; the Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania; Belarus; all of Central Asia; and the South Caucasus countries of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and more.

“The Crimean Khanate, by contrast, was a direct successor of the Mongol empire. Mongol leaders converted to Islam in the late thirteenth or the early fourteenth century. The Crimean Khanate, which covered most of the Crimean Peninsula and much of what is now southern Ukraine, was a Muslim state ruled by princes descended from Chingis Khan. It had a nobility which was represented in an assembly, or kurultai.

“This of course meant suppressing the history of the peoples and states of the ‘New Russia,’ Ukrainian Cossacks and Crimean Tatars. To bring together the old and the ‘new,’ Catherine replaced Turkic names in Crimea with Greek ones.” “In just three days in May 1944, the Soviet secret state police rounded up and forcibly deported 180,014 Crimean Tatars, most of them to Soviet Uzbekistan. Included later in the deportations were Crimean Tatar Red Army veterans who wanted to go home after their release from German camps. All of these people lost their homes and property; they were replaced by settlers from the rest of the USSR, usually Russians.

“…Khrushchev saw the transfer as a way of fortifying and perpetuating Soviet control over Ukraine now that the civil war had finally been won. Some 860,000 ethnic Russians would be joining the already large Russian minority in Ukraine.”
