--- The triumph of the October Revolution and collapse of the Russian empire increased national movements among the different nationalities that lived in the country. The Bolshevik government based its nationalities policy on the principles of Marxist-Leninist ideology. The Soviet Invasion of Ahiska The Declaration of the Rights of the People of Russia, proclaimed one month after the October Revolution on November 21, 1917, recognized four major principles: equality and sovereignty of the peoples of the Russian empire; the right of nations to self-determination; abolition of all privileges based on nationality or religion; freedom and cultural development for national minorities (i.e., dispersed nationalities and those living outside their historic territories). But, after the official declaration of the principles, the Soviet government resisted the realization of these ideals. In 1944 Josef Stalin deported the entire Ahiska Meskhetian Turks people to Central Asia. ---
