Soviet immigration problem

From Lenin's death to Stalin's coming to power, Stalin was in power in the Soviet Union for nearly 30 years. Obstructing national security and anti-Soviet elements? Exile to a remote area.

In the 1930s, before the outbreak of World War II, during the period of compulsory collectivization policy in the whole Soviet Union, the Soviet government met with a lot of opposition and exiled a large number of rich peasants to the harsh environment in Siberia.

Subsequently, with the tension of the world situation, on the eve of World War II, in the Far East, in order to prevent Koreans living in the Far East from being used by the Japanese, the Soviet Union adopted? Prevent North Koreans from engaging in espionage? To this end, nearly 654.38 million Koreans living here collectively moved to Central Asia.

This collective migration, which can be called exile, has made Koreans in the Far East almost disappear. Up to now, hundreds of thousands of Koreans and Koreans living in Central Asia are mostly descendants of Korean residents in collective exile at that time.

Subsequently, with Germany's attack on Poland, World War II broke out in an all-round way, and the Soviet Union, which had long had a secret agreement with Germany, also sent troops to occupy western Ukraine, western Belarus and the Baltic Sea.

In order to completely occupy these areas, the Soviet government forcibly moved the so-called nationalists, rich peasants and anti-Soviet elements in these areas to the desolate and cold areas in the east and north of the Soviet Union. These drastic measures laid a good foundation for the Soviet Union to successfully annex and digest these areas.

After Germany launched the Barbarossa Plan to attack the Soviet Union, the disadvantaged Soviet government was very worried that the Germans and Finns in the Soviet Union would be used by Nazi Germany. So the Soviet Union did not hesitate to preemptively move all Germans and Finns in China to the eastern part of the Soviet Union, namely Siberia and Central Asia, in 194 1 year.

The huge Soviet Union

So, how many Germans and Finns were forced to move? Only 589,000 Germans have been resettled.

But simply transferring Germans and Finns is far from giving Stalin and the Soviet government a sense of security. Russia forcibly annexed a large number of areas during the tsarist Russia era, but the indigenous minorities living in these areas were not fully convinced by the Russian government and the Soviet government.

In peacetime, the Soviet Union can subdue these small ethnic groups with absolute force. However, after the Nazi Germans attacked the Soviet Union, the Soviet government, which was still in trouble, was very worried that these restless ethnic groups would cooperate with the Germans.

Therefore, from 194 1, the Soviet government began to use it? Betraying the motherland and cooperating with German fascists? For various reasons, ethnic minorities living in the Volga River basin were forcibly moved to Siberia and Central Asia.

During the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, more than a dozen ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union were forced to migrate collectively to Siberia and Central Asia, including Lacarra Chay, kalmyk, Chechnya, Balkar, Ingushetia and Crimea.

Under the pressure of the Soviet army, they were forced to move out of the area where they lived for generations and were collectively moved to the border areas with harsh environment. This so-called collective migration is actually no different from exile.

Caucasus, the hardest hit area in exile

As a result of this collective exile, which affected millions of people, the time was hasty, the means were rude and the preparation was insufficient, and countless people were seriously ill or died during the exile and migration. Even many people were directly killed by the troops responsible for forcibly relocating the Soviet Union.

After arriving in exile, many people died in exile because of backwardness and serious lack of preparation, coupled with extremely bad environment.

So, how many people were exiled during Stalin's time?

Russian in exile

There has never been an accurate statement about this figure. Generally speaking, most people think that the number is between 3.2 million and 5 million. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the declassification of a large number of historical archives of the Soviet period, the data on collective exile finally have more accurate figures.

According to the latest declassified data, on March 1944, the People's Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union set up a special immigration administration to take charge of exiled immigrants. Only this special immigrant under the care of the Immigration Bureau led by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs has a total distance of 2.225 million people. Among them, during the Soviet-German War alone, the number of ethnic minorities exiled by the Soviet Union for treason was as high as 65,438 +0.438+0.4 million.

Stalin

Among the population of more than 6.5438+0 million, there are 589,000 Germans in exile. There are 496,000 people in Chechnya and Ingushetia. There are 225,000 Creoles living in Crimea, 93,000 Kalmyks of Mongolian descent, 68,000 Karachayi and 38,000 Balkars. At the same time, there are more than 50 thousand anti-Soviet elements from Ukraine and the Baltic Sea.

Why did Stalin exile the ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union crazily? The reason is not surprising, because the Soviet Union at that time actually practiced great Russianism, and many ethnic minorities, including Chechnya, who were not completely unified with the Soviet Union naturally became Stalin's eyesore.

During Stalin's period, the brutal and indiscriminate collective exile of ethnic minorities by the Soviet government also greatly hurt their national feelings and sense of identity with the Soviet Union. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, separatism spread all over the country was the sequela of this behavior.

Stalin

Among these exiled ethnic minorities, the most fierce and famous is the famous Chechen. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, two wars broke out between Chechens and the Russian Federation, and terrorist attacks by Chechens shocked the world many times.

Although Chechens' actions of seeking independence and frequently opposing the Russian Federation have profound historical, cultural and religious reasons, they were exiled by their families during Stalin's period and suffered greatly, which is also an extremely important reason for Chechens' unforgettable hatred of Russia.
