Moscow hosts presentation of a new book about Stalin's deportation of Chechens and Ingushes

On March 22, the Ingush branch of the International Society "Memorial" presented, at the Moscow State Museum of Gulag History, the book by Alexander Bozhedomov "Eviction of Ingushes and Chechens. Archive Chronicle: January 1943-January 1944".

Maryam Yandieva, the head of the Ingush "Memorial" and one of the organizers of the presentation, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that Alexander Bozhedomov, Professor at the Grozny Oil Institute, collected a stock of documents of the Stalin's epoch.

According to her story, the author found documents not only about the careful preparation of Stalin's genocide, but also about the Great Terror of 1937-1938 in the Chechen-Ingush Republic.

"Unfortunately, his archive was burned down along with his apartment in Lermontov Street in Grozny in December 1994," said Yandieva.

The Ingush "Memorial" managed to collect almost all the publications of the "Impulse" with the author's comments, showing, month-by-month, the so far unknown details of preparing the deportation at the level of the local Communist Party and state levels, said Adam Malsagov, a historian and archivist, who also took part in restoring Bozhedomov's archive.

"The uniqueness and importance of the book for professionals and general public is that this is the first and only documentary source from the archives destroyed during the warfare in Grozny in 1990s," said Malsagov.
