Where can I safely experience Crimean Tatar culture?

Smartraveller gives the Crimean region a do not travel rating, the worst safety rating possible. Are there parts of Ukraine, or other countries, that are (at least somewhat) safe to travel to and where I can experience Crimean Tatar culture?

My advice would be to simply go to Crimea, despite what travel websites might say. Crimea currently has no active warzones or civil unrest, so the likelihood of getting into trouble shouldn't be any higher than anywhere else in Russia. Just because a territory is internationally disputed doesn't mean it's in the middle of active warfare.

Four million tourists visited Crimea in 2015 and there have been zero reports of conflict-related deaths/casualties, so you should be fine.
