ИстамбылакIуэ - Circassian Genocide Lament

May 21, 1864... credits:    • Circassian Genocide Lament - "ИстамбылакIуэ"   The Circassian Genocide is remembered as one of the greatest tragedies in Circassian history. On May 21, 1864, following decades of war and forced displacement by the Russian Empire, hundreds of thousands of Circassians were killed, expelled from their homeland in the Caucasus, or perished during exile across the Black Sea. Today, Circassians around the world commemorate this date not only to honor the memory of those who suffered and died, but also to preserve their history, identity, and cultural heritage. This remembrance stands as a call to acknowledge historical injustices and ensure that the stories of loss, survival, and resilience are never forgotten.
