Russia plans to deport Ukrainians to Siberia: how this repeats Soviet practices.
According to inkorr.com: The National Resistance Center reported that Russia plans to relocate Ukrainians from temporarily occupied territories to Siberia. According to the organization, this is set to happen within the framework of the 'Siberia Development Program', which has a budget of 700 billion rubles. However, in reality, this conceals preparations for the mass relocation of residents from occupied Ukrainian lands.
What is already happening
The post from the Center notes that the first stage of this 'program' has already begun: closed letters from schools, hospitals, and municipal enterprises have been arriving in the occupied territories, demanding the identification of 'workers for long-term assignments' to the Far East. It is noted that lists are being compiled with individuals 'not burdened with family circumstances', meaning the most vulnerable individuals who can be deported without much fuss.
'This is a repetition of Soviet practices of 'organized recruitment', by which the Crimean Tatars, Ukrainians, Chechens, and other peoples were once deported. The scenario is the same: passportization → 'assignments' → 'state resettlement programs' → demographic changes. Siberia is desolate; Russians do not want to go there — therefore, the Kremlin is preparing to build its 'new empire' with the hands of Ukrainians torn from their homes.'
Thus, under the guise of the 'Siberia Development Program', Russia is, in fact, conducting the eviction of Ukrainians from occupied territories. These actions raise serious concerns and resemble the harsh methods of the Soviet past, highlighting the growing threat to the Ukrainians remaining under the control of the occupiers.
