I didn't plan to draw anything in December, because I said I was going on vacation. But it's still worth finishing the "Unutma" (Onitma) column dedicated to deportations and genocides.
Today is the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Deportation of the Kalmyk People — the main tragedy of the region.
79 years ago, Operation Ulusy began — this is what the NKVD called the mass deportation of Kalmyks, organized by order of Joseph Stalin. The Soviet authorities justified this decision by the fact that during the German occupation of Kalmykia, there were allegedly many saboteurs and collaborators among the local population.
On December 27, 1943, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree on the liquidation of the Kalmyk ASSR. Its territory was divided between the Stavropol Territory, the Stalingrad Region, and the Astrakhan Region, created on the same day (from 1928 until that moment, the former provincial center of Astrakhan was subordinate to Stalingrad).
The deportation began the next day. In two days, about three thousand NKVD officers carried out an operation to forcibly remove the Kalmyk population to remote areas of the Altai and Krasnoyarsk Territories, Omsk, Novosibirsk and Tyumen Regions. During the first stage of Operation Ulus, 46 trains were formed, which removed more than 93 thousand people from Kalmykia.
The deportation took place in the cold winter time, and the carriages in which the repressed were transported were often not heated. Many died on the way. After the end of the operation, epidemics broke out in the places of deportation, caused by poor living conditions and also taking many lives.
The repressions against Kalmyks on the basis of nationality were not limited to resettlement: already in their new places of residence, many were arrested for conducting anti-Soviet propaganda.
The Kalmyks were officially rehabilitated in 1956 and were able to return to their homeland. In 1957, the Kalmyk Autonomous Region was recreated, and a year later its status as an ASSR was returned to it.
My condolences. Kalmyk people, I wish you success in the new year. May Allah grant that all the hardships and losses be forgotten.
Happy Holidays. And Happy New Year!

(Not so) Fun Fact: I have heard a theory that a lot of the unjustified paranoia that was going on during Stalinism, was due to the fact that Josef Stalin probably had Paranoid Schizophrenia; but also it doesn't excuse the actions that he did during his reign that were on par (in some cases, worse) than Nazi Germany.
I would also add that Stalin carried out deportations of peoples not only during the war or before the war... but even after. If anyone doesn't know, in 1947, Azerbaijanis were deported from Armenia (then the Armenian SSR) (allegedly under the pretext of voluntary resettlement). Why was this done? In 1945, shortly before the end of the war and the victory of the allies (primarily the USSR), relations between the USSR and Turkey were spoiled, largely because Stalin began to suspect Turkey of helping Hitler, and decided that it should withdraw its lands (Kars and nearby areas) in favor of the Georgian and Armenian SSRs. Although the Turkish authorities swore that they had not helped anyone in WWII, Stalin nevertheless decided that if Turkey did not return the lands, Soviet troops would enter it. Naturally, Turkey perceived this as a threat to its sovereignty and decided to join NATO after the war. Well, since there are many Armenians living in Turkey, they decided that they needed to join the Armenian SSR. And Stalin began to deport Azerbaijanis to the Azerbaijan SSR under the pretext of "voluntary resettlement". This idea failed, since the Armenians did not want to repatriate. But Stalin planted a time bomb that would explode 40 years later and lead to a conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh). By the way, it is possible that the "resettlement of Azerbaijanis" inspired the Zionists and they decided to carry out the same trick in Palestine (which is not surprising, since Stalin was one of the founders of the state of Israel).
I believe that the main reason is Stalin's Turkophobia. And this is not without reason, because under Stalin, imperial attributes were revived and imperial generals and cavaliers (in the person of Suvorov, Yermolov and others) were rehabilitated, who under the Bolsheviks were crossed out as symbols of tsarism - and this at a time when Turkey under Ataturk was getting rid of the remnants of the Ottoman Empire in every possible way, striving to become a civilized state. This can also explain the famine of the 1930s in Kazakhstan, and the repressions against Turkic cultural and political figures, and the change of the alphabet from Latin to Cyrillic (and they did not even create a single alphabet based on it, as was the case with the Latin alphabet, but created an individual alphabet for each nation, so that there would be no unity between the Turkic peoples), and the deportation of the Turkic peoples. In fact, Stalin was fully planning to take on Turkey, given that Russia had been at odds with it during tsarist times.
