On June 6, 1969, Crimean Tatars Held a Demonstration in the Center of Moscow

«Return Crimea to the Crimean Tatars.» «Freedom to General Grigorenko.» With such slogans, six Crimean Tatars took to the center of Moscow on June 6, 1969. The demonstrators managed to stand on Mayakovsky Square for only 6 minutes, but their protest action went down in the history of the Crimean Tatar national movement.
