Against Their Will: The History and Geography of Forced Migrations in the USSR by Pavel M. Polian

Description

   

  During his reign over the former Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin oversaw the forced resettlement of six million people  a maniacal passion that he used for social engineering. The Soviets were not the first to thrust resettlement on its population a major characteristic of totalitarian systems  but in terms of sheer numbers, technologies used to deport people and the lawlessness which accompanied it, Stalin's process was the most notable.   Six million people of different social, ethnic, and professions were resettled before Stalin's death. Even today, the aftermath of such deportations largely predetermines events which take place in the northern Caucasus, Crimea, the Baltic republics, Moldavia, and western Ukraine.  
Polian's volume is the first attempt to comprehensively examine the history of forced and semi-voluntary population movements within or organized by the Soviet Union. Contents range from the early 1920s to the rehabilitation of repressed nationalities in the 1990s, dealing with internal (kulaks, ethnic and political deportations) and international forced migrations (German internees and occupied territories).  
An abundance of facts, figures, tables, maps, and an exhaustively-detailed annex will serve as important sources for further researches.

    Central European University Press means CIA.
Research crap.

    @ezzebio: that book is about my heritage. I'd know what is and what is not 'CIA' so how about you not talk about things you know zero about. That way you don't look stupid.
