1944 (song)
"1944" is about the deportation of the Crimean Tatars in the 1940s. Singer Jamala's great-grandmother was deported during that time.  Jamala's great-grandfather was a soldier in World War II. That is why he could not protect his family. The song also deals with the renewed repression of Crimean Tatars. Most Crimean Tatars do not accept the annexation.
