Ethnic Germans in Kazakhstan face legacy of the Soviet Union

Kazakhstan is struggling to deal with the legacy of the Soviet dictatorship. Some 85 years ago, Stalin deported hundreds of thousands of people: Some 400,000 ethnic Germans living in the USSR were sent to Kazakhstan.

哈萨克斯坦现存约22.3万德裔居民，其祖辈在斯大林时期被集体流放至中亚。年轻一代通过戏剧、纪录片和营地纪念地努力保存这段历史，但社会整体对这段黑暗过往仍显冷漠。
