Seventy eight years ago it was the Chechens and the Ingush

An interesting if not ironic anniversary.

On this day, February 23, 1944 the former Soviet Union began the forced deportation of the Chechen and Ingush people from the North Caucasus to Central Asia.

In 1944 Josef Stalin was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
