Settlement of Poles in Kazakhstan in the 2nd half of 1930th years
The article is devoted to the process of settlement of Poles in Kazakhstan in 1930s. By the middle of 1930s, the process of forced migration of the population gradually turned from a social-class principle to the national. Already the whole peoples who didn't evoke trust in an existing regime underwent the eviction. The border areas of their residence particularly strengthened distrust towards them. Eviction of the people of the USSR took place deep into the country, to the most uninhabited areas with a lack of labor force. One of such areas was Kazakhstan, and in its economic life the ethnic groups took the most active part. One of the first peoples sent to Kazakhstan were Poles from the Soviet Ukraine who were expelled from the territories bordering Poland. The social and living conditions of Poles sent to Kazakhstan in the second half of 1930th years are reconstructed in the article. The number of the contingent, their living conditions, medical and cultural service, and meals conditions are presented. The process of social-living and economic adaptation of Poles in the republic is considered.
