Abstract
The article examines media representations of the Crimean Tatars’ deportation of 1944 in the national(Ukrainian) and Crimean media. The findings demonstrate the competition between the two dominant historical meta-narratives (Ukrainian national-democratic and post-Soviet) and the prevalence of the utilization of politically neutral terms, which omit responsibility or refer to tragic character of this historical event, hindering the detailed public discussion of its nature and consequences.
