    Unfortunately, during the info war, propaganda flows both ways. There were deportations in Stalin era (not just by the Soviets, but also Polish, Germans, Turks, Greeks etc), but calling it an ethnic cleansing when just a few years prior an actual ethnic cleansing of Jews was taking place, is kind of a stretch. This particular photo is probably from the population exchange between the Polish and the Soviet Ukraine.
