Repression and deportation in the Stalin Era. The life and time of Iranian migrants in Caucasus

Objective

The Project provides for writing a monograph titled "Repressions and Deportations in the Stalin Era: Life and Time of Iranian Migrants in Soviet Caucasus". The topic of the research work is both of scientific and social-political interest. Embracing a wide range of questions - nearly 40-year complex and tragic page in the history of the Soviet Union, the research work attempts to throw light on the essence of authoritarian regimes, trace back the dangerous pernicious nature state totalitarianism in the destinies of millions of people, both local and foreign, who for different historical reasons, as the fates decreed, resided in the Soviet state in the first half of the 20 Century. Note that Stalinism is not solely historic-ideological and social-political phenomenon, typical for the Soviet Union only.

Stalinism is a system of views and methods of state administration. Deportations and repressions were an integral part of terrorism methods, devised by Stalin, to ensure vital activities of the system. These methods were widely applied against all the peoples of the Soviet Union, including those residing in South Caucasus. The research work focuses on universal features of repressions and deportations in the Soviet Union, characteristic of all dictatorship - base d countries, distinctive features of Stalin persecutions, etc. The research work has first ever brought original archival documents into scientific use. Authors collected hundreds of original documents from archives of Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Georgia, Great Britain.

Project will be based on the already tested methods to comply with the most advanced European and Soviet historiographers, free of any ideological dogmas and preconceptions. The Project also provides for delivering a course of lectures on the general history of Caucasus, Azerbaijan and Iran (19-20 centuries), as well as the history of Comintern for researchers and students-historians under the IISH patronage.
