At the end of the Greek Civil War (1946-1949) 12,000 political refugees were secretly evacuated from Albania to the USSR and resettled in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This move, orchestrated by Stalin, saw combatants resettled in former POW camps and many were not allowed to return to Greece until an amnesty in 1982. Visit the Cowandilla Community Room to see a selection of rare photos from this period.
