“…the favorable disposition of Soviet authorities was short-lived. after world war ii Crimean tatars became one of eight ethnic groups who were (at various points in time) forcibly deported en masse to the remote areas of Central asia (see Kreindler 1986). 5 accused of cooperating with the German occupiers, almost immediately after the Crimea was retaken by the Soviet army the entire Crimean tatar population, consisting of some 194,000 people, was deported in may 1944; by most accounts, more than half the deportees perished during the journey and the first months in exile.…”

Voluntary group migration occurs when a collectivity reaches a group‐level decision to migrate and does so as a community without external compulsion. Typical examples include collective settler movements and voluntary repatriations of refugee communities. We demonstrate the distinctive characteristics of voluntary group migration that make it hard to analyze with current migration theories, and we develop an initial theoretical framework identifying the conditions that typically produce this type of population flow. Recognizing the collective nature of the mobilization that leads to voluntary group migration, we turn to social movement theory as a source of analytical tools that, in combination with concepts offered by prior migration theories, help us build an initial theory. To illustrate our ideas, we discuss an especially revealing contemporary case: the resettlement of Crimean Tatars to their original homeland.

“…2 research on a theme which until recently has been taboo in the Soviet Union.

The interrelated processes of state formation and nation-building are analysed for two cases: the Netherlands (1795-1960) and the Soviet Union . The central question is: how did these states deal with strong cultural (religious or ethnic) cleavages in its societies. In general, there are three options: elimination, marginalization, and institutionalization. In both states institutionalization was dominant, but the kind of institutionalization differed very much: 'personalistic' (the Netherlands) versus territorial (Soviet Union) institutionalization. The hypothesis has been put forward that, in general, institutionalization on a 'personalistic' basis will create more political stability.
