🧵Thread on Russian disinformation campaign against the #CrimeanTatars. Please share.
In line with Putin's false "denazification" narrative, this Instagram post slanders the leaders of the Crimean Tatar people as Nazis and calls for Russian forces to arrest them in Ukraine 👇
It was written by a Crimean Tatar collaborator with the Russian FSB.
And, of course, it's all b.s. None of the men pictured are Nazis.
But they are passionate activists for their people and want Crimea back with Ukraine
