It is established that the researchers have determined stages, causes, size and consequences of the deportation policy and studied regional features of deportations. Research of Ukrainian historians, who specialize in this issue, shows that this form of repressions was inspired and carried out under the close control of the top leadership of the country, have become an integral part of Sovietization and have focused on suppressing all forms of resistance, transforming the national profile of Western Ukraine and modeling social processes, and together with other forms of repressions have contributed to the establishment of the Communist-Soviet regime in Western Ukraine.
