Soviet deportations from Bessarabia

Soviet deportations from Bessarabia

The Soviet deportations from Bessarabia were part of Joseph Stalin's policy of political repressions (see Population transfer in the Soviet Union). The deported were typically moved to the so-called "special settlements" (спецпоселения) (see "Involuntary settlements in the Soviet Union").

1941

On June 12–13, 1941, 29,839 members of families of "counterrevolutionaries and nationalists" from Moldavian SSR, and from Chernivtsi and Izmail oblasts of Ukrainian SSR were deported to Kazakhstan, Komi ASSR, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Omsk, Novosibirsk oblasts. For the fate of a deportee from Bessarabia with this lot, see the example of Eufrosinia Kersnovskaya. Georgian NKVD official Sergo Goglidze, trusted creature of Lavrenty Beria, was in charge of this deportation from Bessarabia.

1942

On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany, together with several other countries, including Romania, attacked the Soviet Union (see
Operation Barbarossa). After the start of the war, further mass deportations occurred in the USSR. In April 1942, Romanians and some other nationalities were deported from Crimea and the North Caucasus. In June 1942, Romanians and others were deported from Krasnodar Krai and Rostov Oblast.

1949

35,796 people from Moldavian SSR were detained on 6 July 1949, and deported on similar ground to those in 1941.

1951

2,617 people from Moldavian SSR were detained on 1 April 1951, and deported mainly on religious bases.
