Agausian diaspora
Agūsuri dāsṕora
Map of the Agausian diaspora in the world (includes people with
Agausian ancestry or citizenship).
The Agausian diaspora refers to Agausians and people of Agausian descent residing outside Agausia.
According to estimates by the Agausian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Integration, as at 2020, about 850,000 Agausian citizens permanently resided outside of Agausia, most of them having emigrated in the preceding decade. The largest Agausian communities are in Russia, Turkey and France.
1. History
History [back to contents]
In its long history Agausia, like most countries in eastern Europe and round the world, has seen waves of immigration and emigration; forced or otherwise. Agausia saw two periods in which they were subject to forced deportations. The first instance was during Agausia's subjection to the Ottoman Empire, and the second was the Soviet Union under leader Joseph Stalin.
The Ottomans are thought to have transferred anywhere from 10,000 - 15,000 Agausians. Most of the population would be moved to northern Anatolia. These deportees were craftsmen or peasants. In exchange for relocating, they would be exempt from taxes for two years.
From 1930 to 1952, the government of the Soviet Union, ordered by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, forcibly transferred anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 Agausians. In most cases, their destinations were underpopulated remote areas of the USSR (Siberia and Central Asia). After Stalin's death, under Khrushchev's leadership, many Agausians were permitted to return home to Agausia.
In 1995 the Agausian Parliament passed a number of laws which had substantially expanded the process of housing exchange from Russia and other republics of the former Soviet Union back to Agausia, and well as the process of purchasing housing in Agausia for Agausian citizens or people of Agausian descent who wanted to settle in Agausia.
The policies, supported by President Boris Kundakchi (1992 - 1997), were mildly successful (although much less so then the government had hoped for) at attracting ethnic Agausians from former Soviet Republics. The true success, concerning population growth and sustainability, lay with subsequent economic and social reforms starting in the Shevchenko Administration (1997-2002).
Organizations [back to contents]
There are over 500 institutions around the globe designated to spreading and sharing Agausian culture. This includes around 100 Agausian language schools, and nearly 200 cultural centers and museums. Each institution is managed by the Ministry of Education Culture, research and sports.
