DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2024-1-13
The documentary publication and its accompanying article are dedicated to the reaction of special settlers to the 1946 elections to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. The published documents allow for the reconstruction of the electoral campaign and the sentiments of the special settlers regarding the elections. The main focus is on analyzing the moods and expectations among the Chechens exiled to Kazakhstan. The new election procedure provided for the special contingent to vote on equal terms with the civilian population. The documentary compilation includes three report notes on the progress of the electoral campaign for the elections to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR among the special settlers of the East Kazakhstan Region of the Kazakh SSR. The first note is a report from the regional Department of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs addressed to the republican People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD), while the other two are from the instructional department of the regional Committee to the instructional department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan. The documents are archived in the State Archive of the East Kazakhstan Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
