The words Alexander Solzhenitsyn used to describe the forced repatriation, 50 years ago, of 2 million Soviet and former Russian citizens to the USSR.
Nicholas Bethell investigates the plight of a group of Cossacks who ended the war in the Drau Valley in Austria. Having surrendered to the British, the Cossacks believed they were in safe hands, but an agreement had been made with Stalin and they were taken to labour camps and firing squads in the Soviet Union.
