1 : Evidence from Stalin s Ethnic Deportations Alain Blum (EHESS) Alexandra Jarotschkin (PSE-EHESS) Ekaterina Zhuravskaya (PSE and EHESS) December 2017
2 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Motivation Deportations Question Literature Motivation When people get exposed to a different culture, do they reject it or adopt it? Do cultural traits diffuse or does exposure to a new culture increase people s identification with their own? An ideal experiment designed to answer this question would assign people of different cultural backgrounds randomly to the same locations The literature has studied random allocation of children to classes, refugees to social housing, students to dorms, and soldiers to regiments Such experiments imply a controlled environment, in which representatives of different cultures are forced to interact
3 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Motivation Deportations Question Literature Motivation Yet, in a real-life setting, where people choose freely whom to interact with, they may self-segregate and avoid representatives of a different culture There are many examples of spontaneously-created ghettos both in history and throughout the world along ethno-religious lines in 19th century European towns racial lines in contemporary American cities religious lines in contemporary European cities To study cultural diffusion, one needs to combine an experimental setting of cultural exposure with having no control over whom people interact with Stalin s ethnic deportations during WWII combine both of these features
4 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Motivation Deportations Question Literature Stalin s ethnic deportations 2.1 million people were deported from the Western parts of the USSR to Siberia and to the Central Asian republics in With the sole reason of belonging to an ethnicity suspected of (potential or actual) collaboration with Germans against the Soviets Deportees were not allowed to leave the settlements (until Khrushchev s thaw or the fall of the USSR, depending on ethnicity) but they were not confined to camps, unlike Gulag s prisoners which left the possibility of interaction with local population
5 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Motivation Deportations Question Literature Culture of deportees Culturally, deported ethnicities differed along many dimensions, e.g., in terms of religion: Protestants: Germans, Estonians, Latvians, and Finns Muslims: Chechens, Ingush, Karachays, Balkars, Kurds, Crimean tatars, Turk-meshketians Catholic christians: Poles, Lithuanians Orthodox christians: Moldovans, Greeks Buddhists: Kalmyks, Koreans In particular, gender norms sharply differed between Muslim deportees from North Caucasus and Protestant deportees from the North-West Chechens and Volga Germans were the largest groups of Muslims and Protestants, respectively We focus on the effect of deportations on this cultural trait
6 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Motivation Deportations Question Literature Research question What are the gender norms among the native local population today in Siberia and Central Asia depending on whether they live in a locality that was exposed to Muslim or Protestant ethnic deportations in the past The vast majority of the descendants of the deportees left when they were allowed to And we look at the native local population Preview: we find strong evidence of cultural diffusion
7 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Motivation Deportations Question Literature Related literature Social identity and cultural diffusion literature focus on the effect of co-existence of ethnic and racial groups In non-experimental setting (Tajfel and Turner, 1979; Grosfeld et al., 2013; Sakalli, 2015) In (quasi-)experimental setting (Algan, Hemet and Laitin 2016 on social housing; Chetty Hendren 2015, Rao 2013 on classroom composition; Burns et al on dorms assignments; Angrist, 1998; Vanden Eynde, 2011 on military service) Determinants of gender roles (Fernandez and Fogli 2009; Fernandez, Fogli and Olivetti 2004) Effects of ethnic deportations on distrust in central authority (Levkin 2015, using crude region-level data)
8 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Timing Size Destination Gender attitudes Timeline of ethnic deportations Deportations: : deportations from annexed territories, Poland, Baltic republics, and Romania : Preventive deportations of Soviet Germans, Finns, and Greeks : Retributive deportations of the ethnic groups of the Northern Caucasus and Crimea Deportees were allowed to return to their homelands in two waves: 1991: Volga Germans, Crimean Tatars, Turk-Meskhetians 1956: All the rest

13 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Timing Size Destination Gender attitudes Gender role norms of Muslims and Protestants There are no systematic data on gender norms at the time of deportations Evidence of polygyny with men having up to five wives in Chechen-Ingush ASSR 1963 (e.g., Ro i 2000, p. 539) Yet, there are some pieces of evidence from before and after Literacy gap between men and women was smaller for Protestants (and Germans) than for Muslims (and North Caucasians) in 1897: Rural literacy rates, 1897 Census Protestants Muslims Diff-in-diff: Germans North-Caucasians Diff-in-diff: Women Men Diff: Men-Women Urban literacy rates, 1897 Census Protestants Muslims Diff-in-diff: Germans North-Caucasians Diff-in-diff: Women Men Diff: Men-Women
14 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Timing Size Destination Gender attitudes Gender role norms of Muslims and Protestants Contemporary survey data (Life in Transition survey, 2016): Protestants Muslims Significance of difference Agree that a woman should do most of the household chores 26% 67% *** Agree that it is better for everyone if the man earns the money 51% 73% *** Agree that men make better political leaders 41% 67% *** Membership in a women group 4% 4% Tertiary education, among women 14% 10% *** Tried to start a business, among women 11% 8% *** Obs. 2,053 12,567 A lot of anecdotal evidence that religious and political leadership in today s Chechen republic is not opposed to pre-arranged marriages of teenage girls with middle-age men, polygyny, and female genital mutilation
15 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Timing Size Destination Gender attitudes The largest deported Protestant group Volga Germans Catherine II called on Europeans to immigrate to Russia in the late 18th century promising religious freedom, exemption from military service, and thirty years without having to pay taxes Volga German colonists were refugees from the war-ravaged German states The bulk of those Germans came from largely protestant regions of Hesse and Palatinate Settlers were allowed to keep their language, traditions, and religion
16 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Timing Size Destination Gender attitudes Gender equality was the official policy of USSR Female genital mutilation, polygamy, child marriage were forbidden in the Soviet Union Equality for men and women was proclaimed as part of ideology, including in the sphere of education Liquidation of illiteracy campaigns in the 1920s and 30s targeted equally men and women All people from 8 to 50 years old were required to become literate in their native language Boys and girls had the same schooling obligations It is hard to say whether native population of Central Asian republics was less backward than Chechens at the time of deportations However, there is evidence that the deported North-Caucasian groups resisted the Soviet ideology, including regarding gender equality, arguably more than Central Asian population (although there was resistance there too, i.e., Basmachi movement)
17 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Sources Econometric Strategy Variation Balance Data sources 1 Ethnic deportations Alain Blum: data on exact destinations and the numbers of deportees for each ethnicity in each deported settlement NKVD Kommendatura census of all deportation locations made in 1951, Russian National Archives GARF 19,839 entries, 18 ethnic groups (Koreans are missing) non-ethnic deportees: Kulaks, bandits, anti-soviet elements we matched the destination locations of these entries with 1126 districts (municipalities in the USSR) 2 Contemporary outcomes Life in Transition survey data, PSUs in 5 countries Out of which 232 PSUs had a deportation in 30km vicinity 3 Historical and geographical controls Gulag locations Old and new capitals, railroads, ruggedness, water ways, etc.

19 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Sources Econometric Strategy Variation Balance Econometric Strategy We explore gender norms of local population in PSUs which were exposed to deportations of Protestant vs. Muslim groups Controlling for subnational region (oblast) fixed effects and a variety of historical and geographical characteristics Identification assumption: conditional on covariates and the presence of deportation in the vicinity, the identity of the deportees (e.g., their religion) was random Balancing tests (presented below) suggest that this is the case We restrict the sample to the title ethnicity of each country (i.e., Kazakhs in Kazakhstan; Russians in Russia) to make sure that descendants of deportees are not in the sample

39 Intro Background Data Results Conclusions Conclusions We document the diffusion and persistence of a (non-)discriminatory culture We use Stalin s ethnic deportations as a historical experiment, in which the close co-existence of different cultural groups is imposed in a real-word setting without any constraints on the interaction between groups We find that both the norms of gender equality and gender discrimination can be adopted by a group if that group is exposed to another group with those norms Both the attitudes toward gender equality and the actual behavioural outcomes among the local population in historical locations of Stalin s deportations in Central Asia and Siberia depend on the gender norms of the deported group
