Kalmyk deportations of 1943

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At the end of December 1943, the entire population of Kalmykia (Kalmyk SSSR) were packed into cargo wagons and transported to various locations in Siberia (collaboration with the enemy): Altai Krai, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Omsk Oblast, and Novosibirsk Oblast.

They were allowed to return after 1956, but the majority did not survive exile.
