"Love and boundless devotion to the great Motherland does not exclude love for the native land, for the native places, and graves of ancestors; on the contrary, this last love decorates and enhances the love for the great Motherland, it adorns and enriches human happiness ... Our Great Homeland consists of our native lands: the great friendly family of Soviet peoples consists of our people, of our families. Everything that hinders the world, the happiness of the family and the people, should be carefully studied and eliminated, because peace, friendship and the power of our country, our people depend on it. Proceeding from these convictions, in the name of friendship and happiness of all nations, I am the son of my people, at the same time infinitely loyal to the Great Motherland, my own Communist Party – a citizen of the USSR – a son of the Soviet people, I appeal to the Leninist Party: 1. My people are humiliated and offended by the fact that they were expelled from their native land without need or reason. Return them to their native land - Crimea. 2. Equality is taken away from the people. Restore this equality, and allow them into the monolithic friendly family of the peoples of the USSR as an equal people."
