Little-known episodes from the life and work of Crimean Tatar scholar Raime Mullina

This article, using open archival data and media materials, historical sources, and encyclopedias, attempts to illustrate the work and creative work of Raime Mullina, a representative of Crimean Tatar scholarship, in Crimea and the Kazakh SSR. As is well known, the Great Patriotic War and its aftermath impacted the destinies of individuals and entire nations who were evacuated or forcibly deported from their homeland to Siberia, the Urals, Kazakhstan, and the Central Asian republics. Among these peoples were the Crimean Tatars. Historical events in Crimea and the USSR left their mark on their fate, turning them into an outcast people, as they were scattered across various special settlements. Most Crimean Tatars lived in the Uzbek SSR, while the rest were resettled in groups in the Urals and the Kazakh SSR. Using archival data from the Republic of Kazakhstan, previously unknown facts were revealed about members of the Crimean Tatar intelligentsia who resided in Kazakhstan in various capacities (evacuees, special settlers). The Crimean Tatar people left their mark on Kazakhstan's cultural and educational spheres.
