Soviet authorities were afraid that there will be treason from the inside, so they just sent off all the Germans, with no care for them and their living conditions whatsoever. Even after the war, however, the Germans stayed in Kazakhstan, around one million of them. They even wanted to create an autonomous region there, but were denied.

[@user81548]

I live in Chelyabinsk and on disability because of mental health, but even if Roman would be interested in interviewing me, I am too socially disadapted for such a thing. Basically, mentally ill people in Russia lack any human rights, they could be forcefully committed to hospital without a genuine reason, and those hospitals are not that different from prisons. In fact, convicts consider it to better be sent to prison than to hospital because of how barbaric, unprofessional and cruel the treatment there is. I myself witnessed how a hardened criminal tried to hang himself in the toilet because he just couldn't endure the turture of the side effects of those horrible meds. The staff in hospitals is rude to the point of sadism, doctors barely talk to you and never care how well are you tolerating the treatment. Lots of awful things happens thete, like the illegal forced sterilization of the patients or the doctors taking away their flats. Basically, the treatment in hospitals done me more harm than my actual illness, I still have a recurring hightmare of being forcefully hospitalized even though it's been 5 years since my last admission. I plan to procure some cyanide or something to always have it on hand for a quick suicide to never permit it to be put there again.
