    The Chechen and Ingush deportations occured in 1946, year after WW2 ended. Holy shit. You relativizing a deportation into a cold region with a lack of resources for survival that killed 1/4 and 1/3 of the Chechen and Ingush populations is bordering on the relativization I usually get from neonazis about the Holocaust.

      It was in Feb. & Mar. of 1944, and it still wasn’t a “deportation,” no matter how many times you repeat it. They were not deported from the USSR.
