BTW the Crimean Tatars were so distrusted that they
were not allowed to go back to Crimea until 1988.

The Chechnya White Book (at
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/2000/04/white/part02.htm
) has lots of translations of documents dealing with
the deportation of the Ingush and Chechens, for
instance:

Top Secret

Attn: 
USSR People's Commissar For Internal Affairs Comrade
Lavrenty Beria
February 1944

Memorandum

The NKVD has learned from its agents that Khasan
Israilov was being concealed by Dzhovatkhan
Murtazaliyev with the help of his brother Ayub and his
son Khas-Magomed, secretly arresting Dzhovatkhan
Murtazaliyev and Ayub Murtazaliyev on February 13.
After being interrogated, Ayub Murtazaliyev deposed
that Khasan was hiding inside a cave of Bachi-Chu
mountain (Dzumsoyevsky village council, Itum-Kale
district). In the early hours of February 15 a squad
of operatives headed by Comrade Tsereteli surrounded
and searched the cave, which was mentioned by Ayub
Murtazaliyev, failing to find Khasan Israilov there.
The search revealed one Degtyarev light machine-gun in
good working condition, as well as three ammunition
disks, one British 10-cartridge rifle, one Russian
Mosin rifle in good working condition, 200 rifle
cartridges, as well as Khasan Israilov's authentic
correspondence dealing with his insurgent activities
and weighing about 2 kg. Such correspondence lists
members of the NSPKB insurgent organization at 20
villages of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet
Socialist Republic's Itum-Kale, Galanchozhsky, Shatoi
and Suburban districts (6,540 people, all told), as
well as 35 membership cards of the Caucasian Eagles
Nazi organization, which were received by Khasan
Israilov from German paratroopers, who had landed on
the territory of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet
Socialist Republic over the 1942-1943 period. Apart
from that, we have found a map of the Caucasus in
German marking those specific populated localities
that contain NSPKB cells and insurgent organizations
on the territory of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous
Soviet Socialist Republic and the Georgian Soviet
Socialist Republic. Having failed to locate Khasan
Israilov inside the cave, we demanded that Ayub
Murtazaliyev tell us about Khasan Israilov's new cave
and its location. Ayub Murtazaliyev, who was pressured
to a small extent, later deposed that Khasan had been
taken to another cave by Dzhovatkhan Murtazaliyev's
son Khas-Magomed. On February 15 we managed to arrest
Khas-Magomed Murtazaliyev, who is now being
interrogated by Comrade Tsereteli in Itum-Kale.

State Defence Committee
Attn: Comrade Stalin, February 17, 1944

Preparations for an operation aiming to deport the
Chechen and Ingush populations are currently being
completed. All in all, 459,486 people, who are subject
to deportation, have been registered. Their list
includes people living in Daghestani areas, which
border on Checheno-Ingushetia, and in the city of
Vladikavkaz. Considering the operation's scale and the
specifics of mountainous areas, it has been decided to
deport the local populace (including the placement of
local residents aboard trains) over an eight-day
period. It will take us three days to complete this
operation in all low-land areas and foot-hills, as
well as in some mountainous areas, and to round up
more than 300,000 people. The remaining 150,000 people
shall be rounded up and deported within the next four
days. ... Mountainous areas shall be sealed off well
in advance. ... Considering the serious nature of this
operation, I request permission to remain in the
region prior to the operation's completion, for the
most part, e.g. until the February 26-27, 1944 period.

Signed:
Lavrenty Beria.


Nu, zayats, pogodi!
