Indigenous Peoples Movement on Instagram: "28th of December marks a tragic day in the history of the Kalmyk people when an entire ethnic group was deported from their homeland to Siberia and the Far East.

Someone I know who’s an an*rchist and vocal anti-AES shared this and I was wondering if any comrades knew more.

    Certainly not a genocide, but I do remember the deprogram mentioning it on the ‘L’s of former socialism’ episode. They unfortunately deported a lot of innocent people because there were Nazi collaborators among them.

    There was a drop of their population in the 40s because of a reason these maps will explain.

    Anyhow the deportation thing happened because of collaborators among the population of kalmyks.

    There was a full analysis with sources from speeches and everything detailing this that was linked in the genzedong subreddit, if anyone can search “kalmyks” in genzedong search bar you will see the article under an old post in the comments, The website had “stalin” in the url.

    The UN only recognise three genocides, so I don’t know what they mean by “recognized as genocide” besides “US state dept told me”
