ENThe displacement of children is a theme rarely examined in scholarly works on Soviet deportations. This can be partly explained by the fact that children, other than the homeless and those considered inveterately delinquent, were seldom a discrete target group for the Soviet repressive apparatus. Most often they were deported just because they were members of the families of “enemies of the socialist state.” Yet one key premise of this chapter is that deported children should not be viewed as “secondary” victims of a totalitarian regime, nor merely as another voiceless sub-group, but as active and articulate social agents in their own right. My principal aim in this chapter, which investigates the fate of Lithuanian children in Soviet deportations, is not to present a “children’s martyrology,” but to try to understand the complex specificities of children’s perceptions, experiences, and actions by paying attention to their own voices.
