Annotation

In the year of the 75^th anniversary of the Victory, in the article the author aims to investigate the issues of evacuation of the population from the occupied and frontline regions of the USSR to the territory of Chuvashia and their coordinated work with the local population in the rear. For the first time in regional historiography using archival documents previously not introduced into scientific circulation and on the example of the evacuated population of Elysh village council of Alikovsky region the author analyzes the conditions of their life, examines the issues of their reception, accommodation and employment in the collective farm. The study shows that well-consolidated work of the evacuated citizens and the local population in the deep rear became one of the sources for the Victory over the fascist Germany. The materials of the study can be used in civil education of the population.
