Let us remember that “1944” is dedicated to the expulsion of the Crimean Tatars from the peninsula during the Great Patriotic War. The Soviet troops liberating Crimea from the Nazis are called “outsiders” in the composition and accused of murder.
Jamala draws parallels between 1944 and 2014 - as is known, after the Russian Spring, Ukrainian nationalists and members of extremist organizations left Crimea en masse. “You took my land from me,” sings Jamala, who is close to the leadership of the Majlis, which is banned in the Russian Federation.
