Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Population transfer in the Soviet Union - Transfers of ethnicities

The wholesale removal of potentially trouble-making ethnic groups was a technique used consistently by Joseph Stalin during his career: Poles (1934), Koreans (1937), Ukrainians, Jews, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians (1940-1941 and 1945-1949), Volga Germans (1941), Balkars, Chechens, Ingushs (1944), Kalmyks (1944), Meskhetian Turks (1944), Crimean Tatars (18 May 1944). Large numbers of kulaks regardless their nationality were resettled to Siberia and Central Asia. Shortly before, during and immediately after World War II, Stalin condu ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Rootless cosmopolitan - Background

Towards the end and immediately after World War II, the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAC) grew increasingly influential to the post-Holocaust Soviet Jewry, and was accepted as its representative in the West. As its activities sometimes contradicted official Soviet policies (see Black Book), it became a nuisance to Stalin's absolute power. The CPSU Central Committee auditing commission concluded that instead of focusing its attention on the "struggle against forces of international reaction", the JAC continued the line of the Bund — a dan ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Russification - History

One of the examples of Russification was replacement of the Polish language by Russian in areas of Poland-Lithuania after the Partitions of Poland. It intensified after the 1831 uprising and, in particular, after the January Uprising of 1863: in 1864 Polish, Belarusian and Lithuanian languages were banned in public places; in the 1880s Polish was banned in schools and offices of the Congress Kingdom. A similar development was in Lithuania: its Governor General Mikhail Muravyov instituted a complete ban on the Latin and Gothic scripts ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Russification - Present times

Many people allege that Russification policies continue in other ex-Soviet territories, mainly in Belarus under Lukashenka's government and in the unrecognized de facto independent republics of Transnistria in Moldova and Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia. Some international NGOs argue that Russification policies are occurring in republics inside the Russian Federation like Mari El, but Putin's administration have been denying these accusations, and retorted by charging that the NGOs are attempting to destabilize the Volga Republics, as they had, according to the opi ...

Karelia, Chechnya and Tatarstan republics of Russia also tried to switch their alphabets to Latin, but the Latin alphabet was officially banned for Russia's official languages. This position was officially explained by two reasons: a) switching needs finances, but they are limited; b) it is difficult to make adult people accept the changes. Sometimes this move has been viewed as remnants of policy of Russification. In the Soviet Union, publications in technical and scientific journals were mostly in Russian; this led to underdevelopme ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Ethnic cleansing - Modern-age ethnic cleansing

The term "ethnic cleansing" has come to mean the displacement or expulsion from a territory of one ethnic group by another. The displacement is usually forcible, though there are examples of voluntary or compensated ethnic cleansing. The 20th century has seen numerous cases, particularly in Europe and the Middle East. During more recent times, ethnic cleansing has often been used during colonisation projects. In North America, British and American settlers ethnically cleansed millions [citation needed] of Native Amer ...

Population transfer - United States: Native American relocations. In the nineteenth century, the United States government removed a number of Native American nations to federally owned and designated Indian reservations. In the 1830's, the policy known as Indian Removal relocated many nations living east of the Mississippi River to the Indian Territory in the west, a process that resulted in the "Trail of Tears" for the Cherokees. Resistance to Indian Removal led to several violent conflicts, including the Second Seminole War in Florida. Later in the century, the establishment ...

Exile settlements (ссыльное поселение, ssylnoye poselenie) were a kind of internal exile. The system of political and administrative exile existed in the Imperial Russia as well. The most notable category of exile settlers in the Soviet Union (ссыльнопоселенцы, ssylnoposelentsy) were the whole nationalities resettled during Joseph Stalin's rule (1928–1953).

He was educated at a technical school in Sukhumi, and is recorded as having joined the Bolshevik Party in March 1917 while an engineering student in Baku.

The Northern Mongoloid peoples of North Asia and Central Asia have relatively tall statures, well-defined features (such as longer noses, and higher cheekbones) and relatively hairy bodies and faces, features that are considered to define the "prototype" Mongoloid physical type.

Joseph Stalin - Industrialization. Main article: Industrialization of the USSR. The Russian Civil War and War communism had a devastating effect on the country's economy. Industrial output in 1922 was 13% of that in 1914. A recovery followed under the New Economic Policy, which allowed a degree of market flexibility within the context of socialism. Under Stalin's direction, this was replaced by a system of centrally ordained Five-Year Plans in the late 1920s. These called for a highly ambitious program of state-g ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Population transfer - Issues arising from population transfer

According to political scientist Norman Finkelstein transfer was considered as an almost humanist solution to the problems of ethnic conflict, up until around World War II and even a little afterward, in certain cases. Transfer was considered a drastic but 'often necessary' means to end an ethnic conflict or ethnic civil war1. The feasibility of population transfer was hugely increased by the creation of railroad networks from the mid-19th century. Population transfer differs more than simply technically from individ ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Population transfer - Changing legal opinions

The view of international law on population transfer underwent considerable evolution during the 20th century. Prior to World War II, a number of major population transfers were the result of bilateral treaties and had the support of international bodies such as the League of Nations. The tide started to turn when the Charter of the Nuremberg Trials of German Nazi leaders declared forced deportation of civilian populations to be both a war crime and a crime against humanity, and this opinion was progessively adopted and extended through the ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Lavrenty Beria - Allegations against Beria

Since Beria's death many more accusations have been made against him. These include allegations that he raped numerous women, and that he personally tortured and killed many of his political victims. Khrushchev in his posthumously published memoirs wrote: "We were given a list of more than a 100 names of women. They were dragged to Beria by his people. And he had the same trick for them all: all who got to his house for the first time, Beria would invite for a dinner and would propose to drink for the health of ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Lavrenty Beria - Allegations against Beria

Although Beria was formally convicted for being a British spy, the Communist Leadership has early on sought to spice up the charges with informal accusations of more personal nature. These included allegations that he raped numerous women, and that he personally tortured and killed many of his political victims. Charges of sexual misconduct against Beria were first made in the speech by a Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Nikolay Shatalin, at the Plenary Meeting of the committee on July 10, 1953, two weeks aft ...

Population transfer in the Soviet Union: Encyclopedia II - Lavrenty Beria - After Stalin

On March 5, 1953 Stalin died four days after collapsing during the night following a dinner with Beria and other Soviet leaders. The political memoirs of Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, published in 1993, claim that Beria boasted to Molotov that he had poisoned Stalin, although no hard evidence has ever been produced to support this assertion. There is evidence, however, that for many hours after Stalin was found unconscious, Beria denied him medical help, claiming that Stalin was "sleeping." It is possible that all the Soviet leaders agreed ...

Accounts of Beria's fall vary considerably. According to the most recent accounts Khrushchev convened a meeting of the Praesidium on June 26, where he launched an attack on Beria, accusing him of being in the pay of British intelligence. Beria was taken completely by surprise. He asked, "What's going on, Nikita Sergeyevich?" Molotov and others then also spoke against Beria, and Khrushchev put a motion for his instant dismissal. Malenkov then pressed a button on his desk as the pre-arranged signal to Marshal Georgy Zhukov and a group of armed ...
