Abstract
During the years of the Stalinist regime, the authorities used destructive measures to influence both individual groups of people and entire nations. The Chechen and Ingush peoples turned out to be victims of lawlessness and arbitrariness, which became part of the official policy of the totalitarian regime. The study of Stalin’s deportation policy during the ongoing war, with the diversion of a significant number of military, transport, and material resources, allows a more critical approach to understanding the course of the historical process in the USSR. Based on concrete historical facts, the presented article examines the nature of the deportation of Chechens and Ingush, carried out in the winter of 1944, and its consequences. Identifying the causes of the deportation of peoples during the Great Patriotic War and debunking the myth of their collaboration remains one of the urgent scientific tasks. According to many researchers, the deportation policy was carried out by the Soviet government as a preventive measure, as punishment for cooperation with the Germans, to solve demographic problems. However, upon serious analysis, the listed reasons turn out to be untenable and the true goals of mass repression have not been revealed to date.
