In September 1945 the Communists deported the German Christina Yegorovna SCHARTON (1920-1980) from the village of STRAUB, canton SEELMANN, Autonomous Republic of the Volga Germans. Her husband is said to have disappeared at the front without a trace; they had no children. She was transported off together with her mother, Jekaterina Alexandrovna SCHARTON (1885-1961) and her younger brother (from her mother's side), Alexander Karlovich SCHARTON (1940-1994).
They were exiled in the district of UYAR, to the little village of BERESOVKA (6 km East of UYAR). However, in summer 1942 they forced Christina Jegorovna into the "Trud-Army", to TAYMYR. She was taken to POTAPOVO station in the district of DUDINKA (on the right bank of the Yenissey, south of Dudinka), to work in the fishery.
In 1945 her daughter Tamara was born and, due to this particular circumstance, she was allowed to go and see her mother in the following year. She returned with the child to BERESOVKA. Later, she, her mother and the brother lived in UYAR. They were released from exile on 17.01.56.
