Some Issues of Migration of Rural Population in Georgia in the 20s-30s of the 20th Century

Based on the analysis of the studied documentary material and special literature, it is clear that external and internal migration in Georgia in the 20s-30s of the 20th century is a confirmed fact. External migration was more characteristic for the Muslim population from the border regions of Georgia in the 20s. They tried to migrate to Turkevi without permission. The reason for this was `religious persecution by the Soviet authorities, forced cultivation of collective farms and acute shortage of consumer goods''. Parallelly, the activity of the emissaries of Turkey, as well as the propagandistic influence of Muslim mullahs and Khojas were strengthened.
