''Against Their Will... The History and Geography of Forced Migrations in the USSR'' is a historical research book by
Pavel Polyan (2001), published by the
Memorial society. It is the first comprehensive study of all massive-scale
forced migrations within the Soviet Union. The book is based on published materials and archival data made public. It contains numerous summary tables.
The book covers forced migrations of Soviet citizens within the Soviet Union, as well as forced migrations of foreign citizens into the Soviet Union. Polyan systematized previously published sources, scattered over various publications, and supplemented them with archival materials. The book uncovered the logic of these migrations.
