spite of this opposition, a tent camp was established on the Southern Coast in the village of () in autumn 1989. Despite early cooperation with the Soviet government, things soon turned sour; on 14 December 1989, the encampment was stormed by the militsiya, soldiers, and local settlers, who attacked the Crimean Tatars. Six of the victims were imprisoned for four months on charges of hooliganism before being released in the face of widespread outcry. The organiser of the tent camp, Ulviye Ablayeva, was declared to be at large. In the final months of the Soviet Union, the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was re-established as a territorial autonomous entity. In contrast to the previous Crimean ASSR, which had been a national and territorial autonomy with the intention of protecting Crimean Tatars, the new Crimean ASSR was purely territorial, therefore entrusting power in the hands of Russians. The response by Crimean Tatars was fierce, and, at the , was adopted, saying that the Crimean Tatar people have a right to the land and natural resources of Crimea, and that any political decisions should be made with the consent of the Crimean Tatars. The dissolution of the Soviet Union brought an end to the half-hearted repatriation efforts, though a replacement never came; the new Ukrainian government failed to establish a resettlement plan, and numbers of Crimean Tatar returnees rose to 30,000–50,000 after the Soviet Union dissolved. Squatting under Ukraine (1991–2014) With no existing infrastructure to facilitate the repatriation or housing of Crimean Tatars, early returnees found themselves in destitute living conditions. Many lived in hostels or trailers. In one instance, the campus of Tavrida National V.I. Vernadsky University was occupied by repatriated families. Waiting for government involvement became an impossibility due to a combination of hyperinflation and the sheer number of people in waiting lists for housing, and squatting became the only real option. As privatisation of once-collectivised land began, Crimean Tatar activists negotiated with local authorities in an effort to gain control of uninhabited land. But these efforts were for naught, as land was sold to ethnic Russians who had worked on former kolkhozes. Matters were further troubled by ethnic Russian separatism in Crimea. In an effort to defuse tensions and prevent the establishment of a pro-Russian state in Crimea, President Leonid Kravchuk granted several concessions to the separatist Republic of Crimea. As a result, Crimean Tatars continued to be marginalised.
