Refat Murtazayev was born in 1946 in Central Asia. His parents, natives of the village of Çorğuna in the Balaklava district of Crimea, ended up there as a result of the criminal deportation of the Crimean Tatars. From the first days, their life in exile became a struggle for survival. But, despite all the hardships, love for their homeland never left their hearts, and today lives on in their children and grandchildren.
