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]. It was established in 1917 by Noman Çelebicihan. They were consequently able to seize control of the state to foster a Crimean Tatar identity ^[2].
