Stalin tried a variation of this with the Crimean Tatars 63 years ago. Stalin claimed they had collaborated with the Nazis.

He orderd 70% of the Crimean population (the Tatars) to be deported to Sibera. This was over 200,000 people.

Besides sending them off to die, he also made them non-people. They were citizens of no country.

And Stalin then gave the “empty” Crimea properties to trusted Russians. This is how many of the Soviet Era politicians got their dacha (country vacation home) on the Black Sea.
