The article deals with some issues of everyday life of the evacuated population during the Great Patriotic war on the example of the city of Glazov and the Glazovsky district of Udmurtia. Based on the study of archival materials, the author identifies the geography, national and gender composition, social origin, ability to work, and professional qualifications of the evacuated citizens. In addition to these characteristics, the publication shows examples of the features of accommodation, employment, and assistance to evacuees by the authorities and residents of Glazov and Glazovsky district. The local authorities were quite successful in resolving the issues of accommodation of people who arrived in the city and district, despite the lack of housing stock. Mostly there was a settlement in apartments and houses of local residents. One of the most difficult problems was the employment of people who arrived, which was solved with varying effectiveness at different stages of the war. Assistance and support from city and district Soviet and party organisations was of great importance for the establishment of normal everyday life of the evacuated citizens. Despite the acute shortage of funds, material funds and resources, the evacuees were provided with various forms of assistance. Visitors were provided with basic necessities, food and manufactured goods. The evacuation of people to the city of Glazov and the Glazovsky district of Udmurtia was part of the process of forced displacement of the population during the Great Patriotic war. The evacuated citizens settled their lives in a new place thanks to the support of local authorities and the local population.
