Article Evaluation

The article is informative but it left me wanting more. I think the article stayed on topic and remained fairy neutral (One person complained on the talk page that the article did not emphasize how much more dismal communal apartments were than standard housing. While that may be so they left no links or references to this). Perhaps adding some cited information about the dismal conditions would make the article better. A lot of the references did not contain links, those that did seem to rely on one source pretty heavily. The article would benefit from a few more references. There are a few statements that could use a reference, but most of the articled is cited. The article is actually part of two Wikipedia projects, WikiProject Soviet Union and WikiProject Russia. I think that this article is a good example of what I’ve learned a Wikipedia page should be, but there is so much more it could offer.

= Evacuation in the Soviet Union = From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evacuation in the Soviet Union is the evacuation of people and industry after the German invasion in 1941. According to Rebeca Marley over sixteen million Soviet civilians were evacuated. According to Walter S. Dunn 1,523 large factories were moved by the end of 1941. Prisoners were evacuated, many of them massacred. Lenin's body was moved to Tyumen. Part of Hermitage Museum collection was evacuated to Sverdlovsk. Kuybyshev was the alternative capital of the Soviet Union 1941-1943. Novosibirsk received more than 140,000 refugees and many factories.

Not all soviet citizens were forcibly removed from their homes, many left on their own fearing the impending German Army. [1]

Evacuation of Industry[edit]
Due to the speed of the initial German advance, factories were in danger not only because of the threat of being lost to the Germans, but the general collapse of the civilian economy along with this loss of territory, leading to a lack of supplies and as such, productivity.
