The '''de-Tatarization of Crimea''' ({{lang-crh|Qırımnıñ tatarsızlaştırıluvı|italics=yes}}; {{lang-ru|Детатаризация Крыма|Detatarizatsiya Kryma}}) refers to the Soviet and Russian efforts to remove traces of the indigenous [[Crimean Tatars|Crimean Tatar]] presence from the peninsula. De-Tatarization has manifested in various ways throughout history, from the full-scale [[Deportation of the Crimean Tatars|deportation and exile of Crimean Tatars in 1944]] to other measures such as the burning of Crimean Tatar books published in the 1920s and toponym renaming.{{Sfn|Williams|2015|p=111}}
