Abstract
The article draws attention to such an aspect of the history of forced migration from Belarus as the long period of Belarusian refugees’ stay in cities and villages of more than thirty provinces of the Russian Empire. The article draws attention to the fact that the very nature of the relationship between refugees and the local population was caused by measures of help to migrants, creating conditions for their social adaptation, excluding social tensions that could arise due to the complex problems due to the fleeing itself as a mass extreme phenomenon. on the basis of archival materials, the materials of the Russian periodicals of wartime, the author concludes that during the forced long stay outside the native places, which lasted for up to nine years, Belarusian refugees were in circumstances that contribute to the aggravation of national traits, in conditions that stimulate awareness of their ethnic difference.
