PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INTEGRATION OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS

Internal migration is one of the most significant consequences of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The social impacts of the war include the demographic changes in Ukrainian regions. We can identify the three groups of regions: (1) regions from where the population is forced to leave, (2) transit regions, as well as (3) recipient regions (those taking on the biggest burden due to the reception of internally displaced persons). In addition to purely humanitarian tasks (resettlement of people, providing them with food, medicines, etc.), regions and communities faced the task of ensuring their own economic stability as a stabilizing factor of the national economy in the midst of a complex military and political situation. The authors of the article propose to analyze the consequences of internal migration as drivers strengthening the labor potential in the Ukrainian recipient communities and recipient regions. It is substantiated that the human capital of internally displaced persons should be perceived as one of the drivers of local and regional development.
 In the framework of the article, the argumentation is based on the assumption that the military actions are long-term (the “war of attrition” scenario), and after the end of military actions, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and relocated enterprises will not be able to return to the territory of their permanent residence for a long period of time (until the infrastructure is restored, the housing stock is reconstructed, and demining and other measures are completed).
 According to this approach, it is necessary to clarify three levels of state regional policies: (1) placing IDPs in safe locations and ensuring satisfactory living conditions for them; (2) assisting in the use of IDP’s human capital within the framework of the regional economy; (3) facilitating inclusive governance and the inclusion of IDPs in the life of host communities and regions. At the same time, the authors of the article emphasize the following: it is necessary to prevent the creation of institutional obstacles for the reintegration of IDPs into places of permanent residence, which can lead to disparities in regional and community development.

Роль социально-экономических факторов в становлении российской государственности в IX–XVI веках

The article is devoted to the analysis of the influence of various economic aspects of the development of Russian statehood in the IX – XVI centuries. The authors consider the most important sectors of the Russian economy in the pre-Roman period, such as agriculture, crafts and trade. They also show the role of trade in the formation of regional markets and their integration into a single national market. The article discloses the significance of trade routes and partners, the structure of exports and imports, the functions of the state in regulating foreign economic relations. A separate part of the article is a chronological analysis of the dynamics of trade development. The following stages are distinguished: 1) IX - XI: the emergence and flourishing of Old Russian trade, 2) the middle of the XII - XIII centuries: a recession in trade against the backdrop of feudal fragmentation, the beginning of the flourishing of foreign trade in Novgorod, 3) XIII - XIV centuries: the destruction of trade relations in the southern and northeastern principalities, the flourishing of Novgorod trade, merchants, 4) the end of the XIV and the first half of the XVI century: the rise of Moscow merchants, positive dynamics in the development of trade, the development of new trade routes, access to new ports, the development of foreign trade with European countries, 5) the second half of the XVI - early XVII centuries: the crisis of trade and economic relations, the decline of agriculture, the decline in imports and exports. The article provides a rationale for the fact that trade played an important role in the spatial development of the state, as it contributed to the formation of cities, the resettlement of people and the integration of various segments of the population. Trade routes (‘from Varangians to Greeks’, Volga, Danube) penetrated the territory of the East European Plain, inhabited by tribal unions of the Slavs. Trade and defensive posts were formed along the banks of the rivers, which developed into large centers of trade, crafts, agriculture, military power, which formed the basis of the power of local princes and leaders. As a result, cities acquired not only trade and economic, but also administrative and strategic importance. The economic dependence of the tribes on cities, which were markets for agricultural products, handicrafts, precious metals, as well as the need to ensure security, became prerequisites for the formation and development of Russian statehood. The article shows the origin of the system of law in Rus’, the regulation of trade and economic relations, as well as the importance of various forms of management and cooperation (merchant guilds), which contributed to the unification of the Russian state. One guild could unite merchants from different cities, which facilitated and accelerated the process of annexing territories. Thus, unity was ensured not only by military force, but also by economic integration. Since the peasantry was the main element in the system of division of labor, the production of goods for foreign trade and material goods for domestic consumption, it can be considered a key factor influencing the development of trade and the main resource for the development of the economy. The historical transformation of the peasantry is closely correlated with the dynamics of the development of trade, so we can talk about the relationship of these elements.

The Unseen—An Investigative Analysis of Thematic and Spatial Coverage of News on the Ongoing Refugee Crisis in West Africa

The fastest growing regional crisis is happening in West Africa today, with over 8 million people considered persons of concern. A culmination of identity politics, climate-driven disasters, and extreme poverty has led to this humanitarian crisis in the region and is exacerbated by a lack of political will and misplaced media attention. The current state of the art does not present sufficient investigations of the thematic and spatial coverage of news media of this crisis in this region. This paper studies the spatial coverage of this crisis as reported in the media, and the themes associated with those locations, based on a curated dataset. For the time frame 12 March to 15 September 2021, 2017 news articles related to the refugee crisis in West Africa were examined and manually coded based on (1) the geographical locations mentioned in each article; (2) the themes found in the articles in reference to a location (e.g., Relocation of people in Abuja). The dataset introduces a thematic dimension, as never achieved before, to the conflict-ridden areas in West Africa. A comparative analysis with UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) data showed that 96.8% of refugee-related locations in West Africa were not covered by news during the considered time frame. Contrastingly, 80.4% of locations mentioned in the news do not appear in the UNHCR repository. Most news articles published during this time frame reported on Development aid or Political statements. Linear multiple regression analysis showed GDP per capita and political stability to be among the most influential determinants of news coverage.

CURRENT ISSUES BULLETIN

This paper aims to analyse the transition to independent living through the lens of the wellbeing of communities. A case study methodology was applied. The research showed that the relocation of people with disabilities into community group homes is only an intermediate stage towards independent living. Without a thorough discussion with local people, it can end in a lack of trust in the idea of deinstitutionalisation. Paradoxically, independence implies co-dependence on each other, as this co-dependence opens up opportunities both for newly arrived people with disabilities as well as for long-time residents of the community.

THE MARKERS OF IMMIGRANT’S IDENTITY IN IBI ZOBOY’S “AMERICAN STREET”

The new images and themes have emerged in recent literary works that deal with migration and relocation of people. They assume a necessary reworking of traditional and stereotypical views of immigrants and the immigration process. Moreover, they correlate with the broad topic of immigration that defi nes political and intellectual debates today. The fi ctional fi gure of immigrant problematizes such concepts, as the national/racial identity, citizenship, and nation. By evoking diff erence and interaction, literary images of immigrants deconstruct the essentialist ideas of identity and belonging. The analysis of the novel “American Street” presented in this article is supported by the theoretical works of Giorgio Agamben and Etienne Balibar. They argue that immigrants unsettle the links between birth and nation, human and citizen. The article provides a comprehensive discussion of the markers of immigrants’ identity in Ibi Zoboy’s “American Street”. It features an in-depth analysis of food, language, and clothes as the constant features of newcomers. The narrator’s identity is constructed through the diff erentiation of self and the Other. The novel’s homodiegetic narrator, FabiolaToussaint, after leaving Port-au-Prince, Haiti, arrives in Detroit. There she fi nds not the American dream but the harsh reality of the New World. She faces the same institutional racism and classism that she left behind in Haiti. Her identity is forged through her insistence on preserving her religious beliefs and eating habits. Furthermore, herself-narration creates continuity between her past and present experiences. The temporal order of the novel is largely chronological, although sometimes the chronology is broken up by fl ashbacks. They are presented in the forms of confessions of fi ctional characters. Such narratives do not simply project a referential identity but create an image of the self. Identities that were constituted from the perspective of the focalizer are reconstituted in the character’s self-narrations. Key words: identity, Ibi Zoboy, “American Street”, food and vestimentary codes, immigration, conversational narrative.

A study of Environmental and Ecological impacts due to Construction and Operation of Tehri-Polavaram Dam

Any water resources project has both a positive and a negative impact on the environment. Sometimes these environmental losses are unavoidable, so it is most important to minimize the environmental losses and their social-ecological and geopolitical impact. Environmental impact assessment plays an important role in identifying, predicting, and mitigating the various impacts on the environment. This paper presents the details of the construction of Tehri and Polavaram dam projects and their various impacts on the environment and ecological aspects. Any water resource expansion that fulfills minimum needs without endangering future generations’ ability to fulfils their own will be considered sustainable. There are a number of factors to consider when it comes to the long-term effects of dams on the surrounding environment, including redevelopment and relocation of people and businesses, socioeconomic influence on the surrounding area, and environmental concerns such as sedimentation, among others. Sustainable development also means that, in addition to minimizing the dam’s negative effects on the environment, making sure that the benefits of the dam outweigh the negative ones. As a result, it is recognized that water resource projects must be intended, implemented, and managed to meet future population demands while reducing disturbance to the existing eco-system and incorporating effective control measures at various phases to ameliorate any adverse effects.

Migration in Azerbaijan: historical aspect

The article examines the historical stages of migration, including forced migration, on the territory of present-day Azerbaijan. It was determined that a significant factor influencing the resettlement of large masses of people from one territory to another was the territorial encroachments of regional states against each other, resulting in wars and short-term conflicts, because of which the local population suffered. The forced resettlement of people was carried out in order to change the ethnic and demographic composition of the population, which subsequently affected the political structure and relations between peoples in the region.

Flood risk mapping and analysis: A case study of Andheri Khola catchment, Sindhuli district, Nepal

Nepal is one of the world's most vulnerable countries to a variety of risks, including severe floods. This could result in the loss of lives and property, the relocation of people, the damage of physical infrastructures, homes, and the disruption of people's socioeconomic functions and the country's economy in a variety of ways. River flooding is caused by heavy monsoon rainfall, weak geology, unplanned infrastructure construction along the embankments, and mining in upstream riverbeds. The Andheri Khola (river) is a tributary of the Sunkoshi River that frequently floods, affecting the inhabitants along the way. In Nepal, little effort has been made to comprehend the flood risk in tiny catchment regions such as Andheri Khola, despite the fact that this sort of small catchment is affecting Nepal's numerous new rising towns and urban areas in many ways. To analyse the one-dimensional flood plain, HEC-RAS, Ras Mapper, and ArcGIS were used. The WECS/DHM approach was used to estimate flood frequency in different return periods in order to determine the flood risk in the research area. The study finds that the floods of 2, 50, 100, and 1000 years return periods cover a maximum of 35, 41.9, 42.7, and 49.72 hectare area, respectively. The majority of the flooded sites had water depths of more than 3 meters. More than 70% of the sandy area in the study region is prone to flooding. Furthermore, the cultivated areas are located in a low to moderate risk area.

Тупики миграционной политики Европейского Союза, их дальнейшее влияние на ситуацию в отдельных странах и Европе в целом (рецензия на кн.: Клаус В., Вейгл И. ООО «Переселение народов»: Краткое пособие для понимания современного миграционного кризиса. М.: Изд-во Института Гайдара, 2017)

В статье представлена рецензия на коллективную монографию чешских ученых, в которой рассматриваются истоки возникновения мощного миграционного кризиса, обрушившегося в 2015 г. на неподготовленную Европу и сравниваемого некоторыми специалистами по разрушительным последствиям с послевоенной ситуацией. Он вызвал в странах ЕС новую волну скепсиса в отношении продвигаемой т.н. «Большой Европой» тенденции усиления централизации в управлении континентом, продолжает привлекать повышенное внимание ученых, политиков и журналистов. И если в научной публицистике и отечественных средствах массовых коммуникаций до сих пор доминирует точка зрения руководства ФРГ, а именно оно было и остается главным и непреклонным в продвижении этой политики, то отношение к ней в восточно-европейских государствах варьируется от легкого неудовольствия до жесткой критики. В этой связи несомненный теоретический и практический интерес для понимания истоков возникновения и возможных последствий современного миграционного кризиса в Европе представляет не утратившая актуальности научная работа, отражающая политические взгляды на эту проблему ведущих чешских ученых В. Клауса и И. Вейгла [5], продолжительное время входивших в состав высшего руководства этой страны.

Blood type mystery

In ancient times there was blood a symbol of life flow and energy. It was believed that it gives strength. Red paint and wine were used in traditional rites.Blood type is able to tell a lot of interesting things about its "owner" facts. Having information about your own blood type can be better to understand yourself and your body. The purpose of the article. In Article studies on the history of medicine, which form new ones, are considered ideas about the formation of blood groups. The novelty of the study due to the fact that the idea of ​​blood groups from year to year replenished with new data, which encourages the historical sketch. Main part. With increasing population and changing the environment reduces the possibility to get meat food. As a result, this led to the emergence "Vegetarian" second blood group A. Resettlement of peoples in Europe is the reason for the predominance of people with the second blood group there at this time. It is believed that the homeland of the gene of the third group B is located in the foothills of the Himalayas, in present-day India and Pakistan. The fourth blood group AB arose as a result of mixing holders of gene A and carriers of gene B. Today only 6% Europeans have a fourth blood type, which is the youngest in ABO system. The uniqueness of this group in the inheritance of high immunological protection, which is manifested in resistance to autoimmune and allergic diseases. Conclusions. Evolution human is impossible without a systematic change in gene frequencies population. Is evolution continuing now? Thoughts sometimes contradictory. Some believe that man has reached the top evolutionary tree, others disagree with such conclusions.

Rising seas, immobilities, and translocality in small island states: case studies from Fiji and Tuvalu

As increasing global temperatures lead to sea level rise and associated impacts (e.g. flooding, erosion, saltwater intrusion), the relocation of people and assets away from sites of coastal risk has been viewed by some as a certainty. However, many people affected by emerging coastal changes remain in sites of residence. Here we examine the experiences of residents in three low-lying villages across two small island states: Dreketi and Karoko in Fiji, and Funafala in Tuvalu. Analysis of qualitative data from interviews shows that residents are concerned about local coastal changes, and largely attribute them to climate change. While some anticipate future relocation and retreat, and a few households have retreated short distances away from the coast, for now residents remain in and move to these sites to maintain livelihoods, practices, well-being, and sense of belonging. These are places that people value and plan to live in as long as possible. The contribution of this paper is to highlight the vernacular explanations of overlapping drivers of immobility and translocality in sites of coastal risk. It indicates the need to move away from the binaries of immobility/mobility and of trapped/voluntarily immobile populations and to examine the multiplicities of human (im)mobility.

The coming demographic avalanche: on the threshold of the great resettlement of peoples

The coming demographic avalanche: on the threshold of the great resettlement of peoples

ГОВІРКИ ЧОРНОБИЛЬСЬКОЇ ЗОНИ В ЛЕКСИКОГРАФІЧНОМУ ОПРАЦЮВАННІ

Emphasis is placed on the need to record dialect material in various forms (text and answers to special programs) to ensure complete information about the structural features of reductive dialects of the Ukrainian language continuum and the importance of their study, because the relocation of people to other dialects leads to the destruction of the entire dialect area. In dialectology, a new concept appeared, a new term – reductive speech. The term is used outside the area of Northern Kyiv and North-Eastern Zhytomyr – the dialects of the Chornobyl zone. This conditional name is already firmly established in dialectology, and it wants to be shared on April 26, 1986, on the language map of Ukraine, and no one singled out a group of dialects. Migration movements from the Central Polis to other regions of Ukraine after the Chernobyl disaster led to the management of the entire dialect area, as a large 30-kilometer zone has been in the area for almost 35 years as almost depopulated, and its inhabitants have moved to villages and towns in several regions. Record, preserve and explore the actually lost language systems – this is the most important task of dialectologists. The representation of the Chornobyl zone dialects in various scientific hearings – descriptive, linguogeographical and lexicographic – is analyzed. The titles in the articles of the work to some extent represent data, factual material that can become one's own land, an empirical basis for publishing a dictionary of Chernobyl dialects. It should be noted that ethnographers and ethnographers found it difficult to collect and publish extremely rich material on the dialects of the Chornobyl zone. And although there are no requirements in their hearings (no transcription record is given, phonetic variants cannot be traced), they can significantly help lexicographers-dialectologists when teaching dictionaries as interpretations of individual tokens.

Presence and mobility of the population during the first wave of Covid-19 outbreak and lockdown in Italy

The non-medical policies implemented by many countries to “flatten the curve” during the COVID-19 outbreak has people stranded in their homes and some, out of their homes unable to return due to the disruptions in the mobility network. The availability of rich datasets (in our case, Facebook) has made it possible to study the mobility dynamics and spatial distribution of people during lockdown in Italy.Our interpretation is an effort to look deeper, describing the movements occurred during lockdown, including the territorial differences. We observe that, initially, tourists left the country and later Italians abroad managed to return, thereby, stabilising the population. With regards to internal mobility, the earliest affected regions see higher number of stationary users in the initial days of the outbreak while this is less significant for the central/southern regions until the decree for the official lockdown on the 9th of March 2020, due 2 days later. Just before lockdown, there was not a significant exodus of people from the North to the rest of the country, instead, relocation of people between cities and their urban belts, but not towards remote areas. This will be elaborated in conclusions shedding light on possible changes in future cities.

Social Distancing in Indoor Spaces: An Intelligent Guide Based on the Internet of Things: COVID-19 as a Case Study

Using Internet of Things (IoT) solutions is a promising way to ensure that social distancing is respected, especially in common indoor spaces. This paper proposes a system of placement and relocation of people within an indoor space, using an intelligent method based on two optimizers (ant colony and particle swarm) to find the optimal relocation of a set of people equipped with IoT devices to control their locations and movements. As a real-world test, an amphitheater with students was used, and the algorithms guided students toward correct, safe positions. Two evolutionary algorithms are proposed to resolve the studied problem, ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization. Then, a comparative analysis was performed between these two algorithms and a genetic algorithm, using different evaluation metrics to assess the behavior of the proposed system. The results show the efficiency of the proposed intelligent IoT system.

Sprawozdanie z międzynarodowej konferencji „The War That Never Ended. Postwar Continuity and New Challenges in the Aftermath of the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1918–1923”, Kraków-Przemyśl, 24–26 X 2019 r.

Międzynarodowa konferencja pt. „The War That Never Ended. Postwar Continuity and New Challenges in the Aftermath of the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1918–1923”, zorganizowana w dn. 24–26 X 2019 r. w Krakowie i w Przemyślu, była doskonałą okazją do dyskusji nad fenomenem kluczowych lat 1918–1923 w dziejach państw, które powstały na gruzach Monarchii Habsburgów i Imperium Otomańskiego. Rozejm w Compiègne (11 XI 1918), jak już niejednokrotnie wcześniej udowodniono w historiografii, miał dla Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej i Południowo-Wschodniej jedynie symboliczne znaczenie i nie przyniósł rozstrzygających decyzji dla regionu. Obszar ten stał się miejscem licznych konfliktów o granice, tarć etnicznych i społecznych, przesiedleń ludności, zaangażowania intelektualistów w politykę czy wręcz przemocy, mającej na celu fizyczną eliminację całych grup i społeczności. Okazuje się, że nowe państwa narodowe w tym okresie formacyjnym mocno korzystały z dziedzictwa imperialnego swoich poprzedników, mimo deklaracji wytyczania nowych dróg. Konferencja zgromadziła prawie 40 prelegentów z wielu europejskich krajów oraz z Kanady i Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki. Report on the international conference “The War That Never Ended. Postwar Continuity and New Challenges in the Aftermath of the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1918–1923”, Kraków –Przemyśl, 24–26 October 2019. International Conference “The War That Never Ended. Postwar Continuity and New Challenges in the Aftermath of the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1918–1923”, organized on 24–26 October 2019 in Krakow and Przemyśl, it was an excellent opportunity to discuss the phenomenon of key years 1918–1923 in the history of countries that arose from the ruins of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire. The truce in Compiegne (11.11.1918), as has been proven many times in historiography, had only symbolic significance for Central and Eastern and Southeastern Europe and did not bring decisive decisions for the region. This area became a place of numerous conflicts over borders, ethnic and social friction, resettlement of people, the involvement of intellectuals in politics or even violence aimed at physical elimination of entire groups and communities. It turns out that the new nation-states in this formation period strongly benefited from the imperial heritage of their predecessors, despite the declaration of paving new roads. The conference gathered almost 40 speakers from many European countries as well as from Canada and the United States of America.

Our Being on the Eve of the Twenty-First Century

ABSTRACT In this excerpt from his celebrated book From the Doctrine of Science to the Logic of Culture (1991), Bibler discusses a break in historical continuity due to fundamental changes in the social sphere. Dictatorships and wars are causing the resettlement of peoples and the need to understand foreign cultures in conjunction with one’s own while at the same time dwelling on the initial concepts of human life: human dignity, morality, and so forth. Interaction between different cultures (Europe, Asia, Africa) is taking place. Differences also exist between them and ancient, medieval, and modern-era European cultures. These interactions are visible in philosophy: We can take Aristotle or Nicholas of Cusa as our own interlocutors, though fundamentally different from us in terms of reasoning. Core changes are taking place in science, as well: Old theory is not being sublated by new theory, by Einstein and Bohr, but is becoming more well-rounded through it, while new theory is experiencing a combination of its ideas of the universal meaning of Galileo’s discoveries. Galileo is no less important than Einstein, and vice versa. The interconnection of various scientific explanations must be included in modern understanding. Reason proceeds from the beginnings of science, moves to the new, and returns to an understanding of reason itself. Science turns to its origins and arrives, oddly enough, in the future, at nonclassical and postclassical physics. Bibler also discusses cultural works that are closely intertwined with the personality of the creator and the audience. In this section, he touches on changes in the nature of labor, which shifts from joint labor to universal (as defined by Marx) when activities toward self-change (that is, creative activity) become decisive.

Viable and Nonviable Rural Settlements in the Non-Chernozem Zone of Russia: Plans and Reality

For the first time in the geographical literature, an attempt is made to review the results of the rural settlement pattern reconstruction policy carried out in the 1960s–1970s. This policy involved the division of rural settlements (RSs) into viable and nonviable. It included the resettlement of people from small villages to large settlements. The article presents data on the plans and results of resettlement of residents of nonviable villages to central farmsteads of collective (kolkhozes) and state (sovkhozes) farms of Kalinin (currently, Tver) oblast. The official list of viable RSs approved in 1977 is analyzed. The structure of this list, distribution of viable settlements in the oblast, and population dynamics of each RS from 1976 to 2010 are considered. It is shown that viable RSs have been selected illogically: many small settlements were included in the list while many large ones were not. Most of the large viable RSs are concentrated in the central part of the oblast. This is its most developed part, the “Tver triangle” (“apexes” coincide with cities Rzhev, Vyshnii Volochek, and Kimry). Analysis of the population dynamics of viable RSs made it possible to identify several variants of population change from 1976 to 2010: from a significant increase to a decrease in the resident population. In general, the dynamics were negative. The population of more than half of the RSs decreased. Most of the viable RSs were successfully developing and gradually increasing their population as long as there were large kolkhozes. Currently, such RSs account for a significant part of the rural development centers. However, the majority of settlements once classified as nonviable still exist. It is concluded that the policy of resettlement and transformation of rural settlement pattern has failed. It is shown that there is an inadequate understanding of the results of this policy in Russian society and the scientific community. The article is intended as a reminder of the uselessness of volitional decisions aimed at radical changes in settlement pattern.

Дискуссионные проблемы принудительного переселения народов в Казахстан и республики Средней Азии (вторая полов. 1930-х – 1940-е годы).

Introduction. The long-term period of studying such a complex problem of historical science, a more comprehensive acquaintance with its source base, which includes many regions of the country, including the places of the new deployment of resettled ethnic communities, the appearance of summarizing works on a designated topic, allows us to turn to the discussion sides of the topic, summarize the points views of different nature and content, makes it possible to exchange views, deduce the true state of affairs in this regard, clarify individual quantitative characteristics, show the evolutionary process as a whole, and existing shortcomings in covering the topic. Methods. Over the past two decades, many scientific works of famous scientists of Russia have been published (V.B. Ubushaev, P.M. Polyan, V.N. Zemskov, H.M. Sabanchiev, S.I. Akkaev, K.N. Maksimov, M.I. Mamaev, J.G. Son et al.), Kazakhstan (S.Sh. Kaziev, Zh. Ermekbaev), Uzbekistan (V. Khan, D. Rakhmankulova, G. Kim, R. Shamsutdinov), in which the scientific base disclosed the process of forced resettlement of peoples and groups in the 1930s–1950s in relation to each of these countries. The works are mainly based on the sources of the state in whose territory the peoples lived under conditions of forced relocation. The work was carried out mainly on the basis of well-known methods of historical research, in particular historical-systemic, informational, representative, etc. Results. The study is based on the data obtained by predecessors. Particular emphasis is placed on issues that are debatable in nature. They, to one degree or another, cause the necessary additional explanations, interpretation. Among such issues are the quantitative characteristics of the ethnic representatives who have suffered and their fate, about the eviction of the population on a national basis, about such concepts as “deportation” and “forced relocation”. Attention is drawn to the question of the role and place of representatives of repressed peoples in protecting the state during the Great Patriotic War, the significance of the territorial factor in the fate of citizens subjected to repressive influences, about the Chechen-Ingush Republic as a subject of law. Other opinions and judgments on various aspects of the problem are also stated. The positions belonging to modern political figures of Ukraine and other foreign states are interesting.
