Accepted Paper:
The policy of "dispossession" and deportation from the territory of Kyrgyzstan to Ukraine in the 1930s-1940s.
Gulzat Alagoz
(Institute of History)
The Soviet government pursued a policy of "dispossession" for 20 years, and on December 27, 1929, after the proclamation of the "Liquidation of the kulaks as a class", mass repressions of the kulaks of wealthy peasants in Kyrgyzstan began. In fact, there were very few kulaks in Kyrgyzstan. In 1929, according to tax calculations, there were only 3,406 spike farms in Kyrgyzstan, which accounted for 1.8% of the total number of farms. Local authorities falsified the facts and dispossessed 10% of farmers. As a result, the majority of medium-sized farmers and sometimes poor farmers were involved.
Since 1925, more than 3,000 people have been deported from Kyrgyzstan to the south of Ukraine. In this article, we will discuss this policy and its implications.
