Milliy Firqa (Crimean Tatar: Milliy Fırqa, ملی فرقا - National Party, Russian: Милли фирка) was a Muslim political group in Crimea which transferred en masse to the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War[1]. They were consequently able to seize control of the state to foster a Crimean Tatar identity [2].
