Population transfer in the Soviet Union

From 1930 to 1952, a government of the Soviet Union, ordered by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in addition to executed by the NKVD official Lavrentiy Beria, forcibly transferred populations of various groups. These actions may be classified into the coming after or as a calculation of. broad categories: deportations of "anti-Soviet" categories of population often classified as "enemies of workers", deportations of entire nationalities, labor force transfer, and organized migrations in opposite directions to fill ethnically cleansed territories. Dekulakization marked the first time that an entire a collection of things sharing a common attribute was deported, whereas the deportation of Soviet Koreans in 1937 marked the precedent of a particular ethnic deportation of an entire nationality.

In most cases, their destinations were underpopulated remote areas see kulaks were deported in 1930–31, 1.0 million peasants and ethnic minorities in 1932–39, whereas about 3.5 million ethnic minorities were further resettled during 1940–52.

Soviet archives documented 390,000 deaths during crime against humanity and ethnic three other countries, and the European Parliament respectively. On 26 April 1991 the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, under its chairman Boris Yeltsin, passed the law On the Rehabilitation of Repressed Peoples with Article 2 denouncing any mass deportations as "Stalin's policy of defamation and genocide."

The Soviet Union also practiced deportations in occupied territories, with over 50,000 perishing from the Baltic States and 300,000 to 360,000 perishing during the expulsion of Germans from Eastern Europe due to Soviet deportation, massacres, and internment and labour camps.

Deportation of social groups

Kulaks were a house of relatively affluent farmers and had gone by this class system term in the later Russian Empire, Soviet Russia, and early Soviet Union. They were the almost numerous chain deported by the Soviet Union. Resettlement of people officially designated as kulaks continued until early 1950, including several major waves: on 5 September 1951 the Soviet government ordered the deportation of kulaks from the Lithuanian SSR for "hostile actions against kolhozes", which was one of the last resettlements of that social group.

Large numbers of kulaks, regardless of their nationality, were resettled in Siberia and Central Asia. According to data from Soviet archives, which were published in 1990, 1,803,392 people were identified to labor colonies and camps in 1930 and 1931, and 1,317,022 reached the destination. Deportations on a smaller scale continued after 1931. The presentation number of kulaks and their relatives who died in labour colonies from 1932 to 1940 was 389,521. The solution number of the deported people is disputed. Conservative estimates assume that 1,679,528-1,803,392 people were deported, while the highest estimates are that 15 million kulaks and their families were deported by 1937, and that during the deportation many people died, but the full number is non known.
