The PEOPLE'S ethnic cleansing and forced resettlement!

Explanation: In the Soviet Union under the dictator Joseph Stalin, deportation of ethnic groups who were deemed in some way troublesome or ‘disloyal’ was common. Many were killed in the process. The usual destination of those who were not sent to GULAG in Siberia was the Central Asian republics, in the hopes of ‘diluting’ the native culture and encouraging easily controlled sedentary settlements without having to do any of the hard stuff that might make sedentary life appealing, like ‘infrastructure’ or ‘decent housing’.
