June deportation

The June deportation of 1941 (Estonian: juuniküüditamine, Latvian: jūnija deportācijas, Lithuanian: birželio trėmimai) was a mass deportation of tens of thousands of people during World War II from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, present-day western Belarus and western Ukraine, and present-day Moldova – territories which had been occupied by the Soviet Union in 1939–1940 – into the interior of the Soviet Union.^[1]

The June deportation was ordered by the Soviet dictator Stalin, and organized following formal guidelines set by the NKVD^[2] with the Soviet Interior People's Commissar Lavrentiy Beria as the senior executor.^[3] The official title of the top secret document was “Resolution On the Eviction of the Socially Foreign Elements from the Baltic Republics, Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and Moldova”.^[4] The NKVD and Red Army units carried out the arrests, often in collaboration with the Soviet police and local Communist Party members.^[5]
