Stalin deported a lot of peoples to the Siberian wastes. I would say, the Crimean Tatars of Ukraine (?), for one.
No wait, it's the Germans. There's a group of about 2.5 mil Volga Germans who were deported to Siberia during WW2 cos of the German invasion. These were descendants of a Gothic tribe which migrated to the area around the same time as other Germanic tribes migrating westwards into the Roman Empire.
Later allowed to "return" to Germany. But I think this was after the fall of the Soviet Union .......
