Punane terror ja Läänemaa. V, Läänlased GULAGi arhipelaagis ja asumisel

The book discusses those Westerners who were arrested or deported by the Stalinist apparatus of violence during the years 1940-1949 and ended up in GULAG camps or in exile.In total, 13,000 people were imprisoned and deported from Estonia between 1940 and 1941, and this number increased to 38,000 from 1944 to 1953.What were the corresponding figures in Läänemere County? On June 14, 1941, there were 573 deportees. Of course, this does not represent the total number of those repressed at that time. Already in the summer of 1940, people began to go missing, and whether they were killed on the spot or taken deep into Russia to die is only now starting to become clear.
