Karaites are one of the indigenous peoples of Ukraine. They have lived on the Crimean Peninsula since the 13th century. The core of their community is their faith: they recognise the Torah but not religious organisations’ dogmatic interpretations of it because they believe that the reader should interpret it. There are about a thousand representatives left in Ukraine. Most of them live in the occupied Crimea, the rest are spread across Halychyna, Volyn, Slobozhanshchyna, and Pryazovia.
