Abstract

The article deals with the analyses of the content and main directions of the struggle of the Soviet state security bodies against the so-called anti-Soviet element in 1944-1953 based on declassified archival documents. On the example of Jolea’s family from the city of Izmail, Izmail region, is represented a multifaceted picture of the life of the average family of the region in the postwar punitive and repressive policy of the Soviet government, which caused many human tragedies: loss of relatives, forcible severance of family ties, destruction of established way life. The consequences of these repressions for decades in advance determined complex and contradictory processes and significantly affected the psychology of the post-war generations of Izmail region.
