In this paper, we will analyze the consequent developments of the transitional mechanisms after the deportation of the Crimean Tatars by the Soviet regime. The focus will be on the concept of the transitional justice. Is a truth commission appropriate in the Crimean case? To make future plans, national political actors have to treat the past in an appropriate manner. What kind of treatment should be followed? At this point, it will be noteworthy to point out that many disputes around former communist regions have turned into full scale war. On the other hand, fortunately, Crimea has not been among them. To keep this fortune, what kind of domestic and global policies should be followed by local political actors and international organizations? Home politics should be based on the modern coexistence proposals which argue the effective tools of collective and orderly living in a multiethnic composition. We will discuss these tools in the paper. It seems that international institutions, especially UN, have learned some lessons from their mistakes in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. What is the influence of these international institutions’ involvement on the transitional justice policies? These topics and questions will be our concern.
