OKND
CRIMEAN TATAR CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION IN THE SOVIET UNION
The OKND () was the successor of the Central Initiative Group in the late Soviet era. Headed by Mustafa Dzhemilev, the group defied long-established norms in the Crimean Tatar civil rights movement; unlike the NDKT, which held that the deportation and marginalization of Crimean Tatars was a revisionist deviation from proper Leninist values, the OKND was hostile towards communism and did not see restoration of the Crimean ASSR as a core component of national rehabilitation.
