I keep being confronted with the population transfer of several ethnic groups to remote areas during Stalin like the Kalmyks, Tatars, Balkars, Chechens, Koreans, etc. While I have found that there were some cases of spying or even desire to collaborate with the invading Axis forces, I don’t think there is a reason to deport all the population? Or is there something else I am missing?

I’m not educated on this subject, but like China’s vocational program, I compare it to the alternatives of its time. The alternatives being the war on terror and japanese internment camps, respectively. I don’t have to think that either are good, but it is worth taking note that they both easily beat their contemporary alternatives and thus approaching the narrative accordingly.
