Nadir Nadirov (Kazakh: Нәдір Кәрімұлы Нәдіров ; Russian: Надир Каримович Надиров ) born 6 January 1932; Sadarak, Nakhichevan ASSR), is a Kurdish engineer from Kazakhstan.
 He was born in Nakhchivan and his family was deported to Kazakhstan in 1933.
 He is the president of association of Kurds in Kazakhstan ("Berbang") and the first vice-president of the Engineering Academy of Kazakhstan.
 He is also director of the Neft scientific center.
 In 1992, he went public with the accounts of mass deportation of Kurds in the former Soviet Union during the 1930s and 1940s.
The German–Soviet Credit Agreement (also referred to as the German–Soviet Trade and Credit Agreement) was an economic arrangement between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany whereby Soviet Union received an acceptance credit of 200 million Reichsmark.
 over 7 years with an effective interest rate of 4.5 percent.
 The credit line was to be used during the next two years for purchase of capital goods (factory equipment, installations, machinery and machine tools, ships, vehicles, and other means of transport) in Germany and was to be paid off by means of Soviet material shipment from 1946 onwards.
 The economic agreement was the first step toward improvement in relations between the Soviet Union and Germany.
 The next day after the Credit Agreement, the Soviet Union went to war against Japan, in a successful four-week military campaign in the Far East.
 The Nazi-Soviet Pact was signed four days after the Credit Agreement.
 The 1939 German–Soviet Commercial Agreement renewed declined Nazi–Soviet economic relations and was adjusted and expanded with the larger German–Soviet Commercial Agreement in February 1940 and January 1941 German–Soviet Border and Commercial Agreement.
 German shipments to the Soviets became tardy and failed to provide all that was promised the closer the date of Barbarossa came.
 The Soviets fulfilled their obligations to the letter right up until the invasion, wanting to avoid provoking Germany.
 All these agreements were terminated when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, in violation of the treaties between the two countries.
 Soviet trade with Germany in the pre-invasion period ended up providing the Germans with many of the resources they needed for their invasion of the Soviet Union.
Deportation of Koreans in the Soviet Union, originally conceived in 1926, initiated in 1930, and carried through in 1937, was the first mass transfer of an entire nationality in the Soviet Union.
 Almost the entire Soviet population of ethnic Koreans (171,781 persons) were forcefully moved from the Russian Far East to unpopulated areas of the Kazakh SSR and the Uzbek SSR in October 1937.
 The official reason for the deportation was to stem "the penetration of the Japanese espionage into the Far Eastern Krai", as Koreans were at the time subjects of the Empire of Japan, which was hostile to the Soviet Union.
 Estimates based on population statistics suggest that 40,000 deported Koreans died in 1937 and 1938 from starvation, exposure and difficulties adapting to their new environment.
Soviet deportations from Lithuania were a series of 35 mass deportations carried out in Lithuania, a country that was occupied as a constituent socialist republic of the Soviet Union, in 1941 and 1945–1952.
 At least 130,000 people, 70% of them women and children, were forcibly transported to labor camps and other forced settlements in remote parts of the Soviet Union, particularly in the Irkutsk Oblast and Krasnoyarsk Krai.
 Among the deportees were about 4,500 Poles.
 These deportations do not include Lithuanian partisans or political prisoners (approximately 150,000 people) deported to Gulags (prison camps).
 Deportations of the civilians served a double purpose: repressing resistance to Sovietization policies in Lithuania and providing free labor in sparsely inhabited areas of the Soviet Union.
 Approximately 28,000 of Lithuanian deportees died in exile due to poor living conditions.
 After Stalin's death in 1953, the deportees were slowly and gradually released.
 The last deportees were released only in 1963.
 Some 60,000 managed to return to Lithuania, while 30,000 were prohibited from settling back in their homeland.
 Similar deportations took place in Latvia, Estonia, and other parts of the Soviet Union (see Soviet deportations from Estonia and population transfer in the Soviet Union).
 Lithuania observes the annual Mourning and Hope Day on June 14 in memory of those deported.
Operation Osen ("Fall"; Russian: Операция «Осень» , Lithuanian: "Operacija „Ruduo“" ) was a mass deportation carried out by the Ministry of State Security (MGB) in the territory of the Lithuanian SSR in the autumn of 1951.
 During the operation, more than 5,000 families (over 20,000 people) were transported to remote regions of the Soviet Union.
 It was the last large deportation in the series of Soviet deportations from Lithuania.
 The operation was a dekulakization campaign specifically targeting peasants who resisted collectivisation and refused to join the kolkhozes (collective farms).
The Nazino affair was the mass deportation of 6,000 people, 4,000 of whom died, on Nazino Island (Russian: остров Назино ) in the Soviet Union in 1933.
 The small, isolated Western Siberian island is located about 800 km north of Tomsk, in Alexandrovsky District, Tomsk Oblast near the confluence of the Ob and Nazina Rivers.
In the Crosswind (Estonian: Risttuules ) is a 2014 Estonian drama film directed by Martti Helde.
 It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
 The film is about the forced deportation by Stalin's Russia of an Estonian family to Siberia in the June deportation.
 It is based on a real-life diary from the period.
Operation Priboi ("Coastal Surf") was the code name for the Soviet mass deportation from the Baltic states on 25–28 March 1949.
 The action is also known as the March deportation by Baltic historians.
 More than 90,000 Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians, labeled as enemies of the people, were deported to forced settlements in inhospitable areas of the Soviet Union.
 Over 70% of the deportees were women, and children under the age of 16.
The June deportation (Estonian: "Juuniküüditamine" , Latvian: "Jūnija deportācijas" , Lithuanian: "Birželio trėmimai" ) was a mass deportation by the Soviet Union of tens of thousands of people from the territories occupied in 1940–1941: Baltic states, occupied Poland (mostly present-day western Belarus and western Ukraine), and Moldavia.
Karl Selter (born June 24, 1898 in Koeru, Estonia – died January 31, 1958 in Geneva, Switzerland) was an Estonian politician and a Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia.
 He served as Minister of Economic Affairs from 1933 to 1938 and as minister of Foreign affairs from 1938 to 1939.
 His historically most memorable act was to sign a non-aggression and mutual assistance treaty with the Soviet leaders in Moscow in September 1939.
 This was also his personal and national Estonian most tragic act.
 It followed a brutal ultimatum from the Soviet Foreign Minister, Vyacheslav Molotov on September 24.
 Molotov said to Setler: Estonia gained sovereignty when the Soviet Union was powerless, but you “don’t think that this can last… forever… The Soviet Union is now a great power whose interests need to be taken into consideration.
 I tell you—the Soviet Union needs enlargement of her security guarantee system; for this purpose she needs an exit to the Baltic Sea … I ask you, do not compel us to use force against Estonia.”
 The enforced in this manner treaty gave the Soviet army a right to set up military bases in Estonia, and it significantly reduced Estonia's independence until Estonia was formally incorporated into the Soviet Union between June and August 1940.
 Selter left Estonia in November 1939, resigning both as Foreign Minister and as a member of Parliament.
 He moved to Geneva, Switzerland as a diplomat.
 After Germany occupied Estonia between 1941 and 1944, and after it was re-incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1944, he stayed in Switzerland as an exiled diplomat and politician.
