Executive Summary:
- The Ukrainian parliament has voted to recognize Russian actions against the Circassians in the 19th century as an act of genocide—a move Circassians and human rights activists hope will lead other countries to follow.
- Moscow is working to blunt the impact of Ukraine’s actions and prevent other countries from following suit, as well as to block the return of Circassians to their homeland.
- As a result, the Circassians are newly energized both in the homeland and the diaspora. They expect to achieve more of their goals and become an ever-more central organizing group for other non-Russians challenging Moscow’s rule.
