Abstract: In 1944, the government of Soviet Russia exiled Chechnya and other ethnicities to Central Asia from Caucasia area. Around 1958, Khrushchev government rehabilitated them and made the exiled ethnicities to Caucasia. Stalin intended to exile them for good, but Khrushchev rehabilitated them out of various considerations. Yet, exile and rehabilitation, both belonging to large scale population movements, influenced the inter-ethnic political situations in the place of exile and place of origin and threatened the local social-political stability and inter-ethnic relationships, thus relevant with the collapse of the Soviet Union to some extent. Exile and rehabilitation, the two reverse processes, cannot achieve full hedging and cannot make the inter-ethnic political ecology of Soviet (Russia) back to the original point.
