“…There were some intermarriages between Russians and Soviet Germans (Mukhina, 2005). However, all relatives of German deportees were given German passports after the fall of the USSR; and the vast majority of these mixed families left to Germany together with other German deportees in the early 1990s.…”

“…For example,Mukhina (2005) writes about such restrictions on German deportees: "[There] were numerous orders which did not allow the use of labour of ethnic Germans for anything except the heaviest work, most often meaning timber felling and loading and unloading cargo of freight wagons. Special prohibitions had been issued against the use of Germans on lighter jobs in sovkhozy, offices or in the service sector" (p. 740).…”

We study horizontal between-group cultural transmission using Stalin’s ethnic deportations as a historical experiment. Over 2 million Soviet citizens, mostly Germans and Chechens, were forcibly relocated from the western to eastern parts of the USSR during WWII solely based on ethnicity. As a result, the native population of the deportation destinations was exogenously exposed to groups with drastically different gender norms and behavior. We combine historical and contemporary data to document that present-day gender equality in labor force participation, business leadership, and fertility as well as pro-gender-equality attitudes are higher among local native population of deportation destinations with a larger presence of Protestant compared to Muslim deportees. The effects are stronger for culturally closer groups and when adopting deportee norms is less costly. The results cannot be explained by selection, vertical cultural transmission, or deportee impact on the local economy. The evidence strongly suggests that gender norms diffused horizontally from deportees to the local population through imitation and learning.

Nous étudions la transmission culturelle horizontale entre groupes à l'aide d'un contexte historique unique, qui combine l'exposition à un groupe exogène sans contrôle de l'interaction entre les représentants des différents groupes. Les déportations ethniques de Staline pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ont déplacé plus de 2 millions de personnes -dont la majorité étaient des Allemands et des Tchétchènes -des régions occidentales de l'URSS vers l'Asie centrale et la Sibérie. En conséquence, la population indigène des lieux de déportation a été exposée de manière exogène à des groupes aux normes de genre radicalement différentes. En combinant des données d'archives historiques et des enquêtes contemporaines, nous démontrons que les normes de genre se sont diffusées des déportés vers la population locale, entraînant des changements d'attitudes et de comportements. Les normes d'égalité des sexes se sont diffusées davantage que les normes de discrimination sexuelle.
