Qirimli, or people from Crimea. This week we present a double episode featuring Balakun student Mavile, a Crimean Tatar now living in Kyiv. She tells us about the language, history and culture of the Crimean Tatar nation. 

We decided to turn this into a double episode, since there was so much to talk about! 

A huge thank you to our student for giving us this unique insight.
