Kazim Useinov a Folklorist Forgotten And Executed

A teacher of the Alupka Crimean Tatar school and a folklore collector, Kazim Useinov, is a man whose name was hushed up during his lifetime. Three collections of Crimean Tatar tales and legends collected by Useinov were attributed to the director of the Alupka Palace Museum, and the folklorist himself was slandered and executed. To this day, the Crimean Tatar folklore collected by Useinov is published under the names of other people. Based on materials by Dmitry Ursu and Firdousi Useinov.
