    Stalin´s "Cannibal Island" , a worst nightmare story Documentary / MASS Cannibalism in USSR

    "
    The Nazino affair ( "Cannibal Island" ) was the mass deportation of 6,000 people, 4,000 of whom died, on Nazino Island (Russian: Остров Назино) in the Soviet Union in 1933. The small, isolated Western Siberian island is located about 800 km north of Tomsk, in Alexandrovsky District, Tomsk Oblast near the confluence of the Ob and Nazina Rivers.

    It is called "Death Island" (Russian: Остров Смерти, Ostrov Smerti) or "Cannibal Island" because about 4,000 out of 6,000 Soviet "special settlers" died there during the summer of 1933, after being abandoned with only flour for food, few tools and little clothing or shelter.[1][2]

    A report on the events was sent to Joseph Stalin by Vassilii Arsenievich Velichko. The report was distributed by Lazar Kaganovich to members of the Politburo, and was preserved in an archive in Novosibirsk.[3] It states that 6,114 "outdated elements" (also known as "déclassé and socially harmful elements" or classless people) arrived on the island in late May 1933. They had been transported from Moscow and Leningrad, first by train to Tomsk, then by river barge to Nazino. At least 27 people died during the river transport. There was no shelter on the island, it snowed the first night, and no food was distributed for four days. On the first day 295 people were buried.[4"

    These 6,000 deportee from European Russia were convicts and misfits and Siberia was the dumping ground for Russia's criminal elements. They were left to fend for themselves on a remote island in the Ob River near the village of Nazino because local Siberian leaders complained about the massive number of deportees. The British were much better organised at handling their convict population. A penal colony was established in Tasmania in 1803 and the transportation of convicts to Tasmania continued until 1853. Most convicts were either retained for public works by the government or assigned to private individuals as a form of indentured labour.
