Abstract

At the first half of 30th of 20th century in USSR, including Turkmen SSR, ten thousands of families of so-called “kulaks” (in Turkmen version “bai”) were “dispossessed” and forcibly deported from their natural lands. In the official documents of the time and in historical science this event was named “dispossession of kulaks”, “eviction” and “deportation”. Dispossession of kulaks has been connected with policy of Bolsheviks “liquidation of kulaks as a class”, and that was in turn was inseparably linked with social and economic policy of Bolsheviks, which meant the policy of total collectivization of agriculture, conducting “cultural revolution” and the forced implementation of the Soviet regime in rural areas.
