Abstract

This article gives information about the prisoners of war in Turkestan and how the military camps were established to disperse the captives in the region. It also highlights data concerning POWs’ living conditions in Turkestan. Most of them were sent to Tashkent. Initially, it was not difficult to place them in military camps. The barracks of the Turkestan Military District (TurkVO) were given to the captives. The Slavs were sent near the border with Kazakhstan, not far from Omsk in south-central Russia. The Hungarians and Germans became prisoners of war in the Siberian camps. The location of the camps also played an important role in the difficult lives of political prisoners.
