Question: In the Crosswind is a drama about this, a mass deportation by the Soviet Union in 1940-1941?

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. <SEP> 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. <SEP> 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. <SEP> 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.
