Explores the littleknownpurges of 1943-4 when Stalin deported natives of the North Caucasus and Crimea to Siberia and Central Asia. The Chechens, Ingush, Balkars, Crimean Tatars and Karachais were forced out of their homeland for allegedly collaborating with the Germans in the Second World War. Though some in the Caucasus did sympathise with the Nazis, they were mainly opposed to the Soviet regime, which had ill-treated them for decades.
