Ukrainian-Canadian historian Peter J. Potichnyj concludes that the dissatisfaction of the Crimean Tatars over their life in exile mirrors a broader picture of non-Russian ethnic groups of the USSR that started to publicly express their anger against injustices perpetrated by the Greater Russian ideologists.
Sejarawan Ukraina-Kanada Peter J. Potichnyj menyimpulkan bahwa ketidakpuasan orang-orang Tatar Krimea di pengasingan mencerminkan gambaran yang lebih luas mengenai bagaimana kelompok etnis non-Rusia di Uni Soviet mulai meluapkan amarah mereka secara terbuka terhadap ketidakadilan yang dihasilkan oleh para ideolog Rusia Raya.
