Abstract
The article considers involuntary ethnic deportations during special operations to the territory of Altai krai from the European part of the USSR in the context of the national state repressive deportation policy in pre-war, war and post-war periods. The author finds out the structure and numerical strength of deportees, the time of deportation and the places of quartering in Altai krai. It is underlined that the peculiarity of deportation settlements was dispersive distribution of deportee families along the area of the region including almost all the territories and rural settlements of the region. The main method of solving the problem of settlement at the places of deportation was sharing the local people dwellings by means of their compacting. It is supposed that the polyethnic structure of the migrants, deported as politically unreliable or guilty with their settling in urban and rural communities created a special situation in the everyday life of Siberian community. The author comes to the conclusion about the necessity of studying host rural and urban communities of Altai krai as well as Siberia in general, their adaptation to new conditions and factors, determined by deportation, its influence on the culture, everyday life, life conditions and life sustaining practices of Siberian communities in extreme conditions.
