Sumario:	A literary criticism is presented of several Russian and Turkish works related to Crimean Tatars including the poem "Bakhchisaraiskii fontan" ("The Fountain of Bakhchisarai") by Aleksandr Pushkin, the epic "Tavrida" by Semen Bobrov and the novel "Cezmi" by Namik Kemal. The author argues these works give differing perspectives on the relation of the Tatars, a Turkic people who were gradually displaced by the Russian Empire, to their homeland, Crimea.
