Dear group, Stan in Moscow has produced the first table for the Akmolinsk region deportations of April 13th 1940 to Kazakhstan. A huge amount of work has gone into this. It lists the individual settlements, villages, kolkhozes etc in Akmolinsk with details of the deportees (from www.tadeuszromer.com - the list of only a few thousand compiled the Polish Ambassador in Tokyo). There are also google map co-ordinates.
We would like to populate this so if you/your family were deported to Akmolinsk please inform Stan or I and we can keep this table updated. It was produced in word but for the purposes of KSVM I have uploaded it ias a PDF file. The file was too large to post directly to the yahoo group.
I have created a collection in Hall of Memories called "Deportations to Kazakhstan".
This first table that Stan has done is in Russian. I have done a very basic microsoft word translation to English and uploaded this also. If there are any English/Russian linguists who can help to tidy up the translation I would be very grateful.
This is the first region in the series. I will be working on a similar table for the Petropavlovsk region of Kazakhstan and we hope to complete all of the regions. Again, so that we can populate these tables above and beyond the only few thousand from the embassy list in Japan please provide Stan/me with details of your/family's Kazakhstan exile.
Best regards
