Siberian Ukrainians (, "Sibirskye Ukraintsy"), (,"Sybirsʹki Ukrayintsy") are a national minority within the regional plurality of Siberia and the Russian Far East, but make up the majority in some cities. Siberian Ukrainians are one of the largest and historically important constituent parts of the Ukrainian diaspora, and are known to be one of the first Ukrainian diasporas.
History Russian empire
2 million Ukrainian Peasants settled in Siberia between the 1600s and 1917, In the 19th century, the government of Russia encouraged peasants to move from the western parts of the empire to untilled lands in Siberia. Ukrainian peasants, not as burdened by the traditional Russian communal system of agriculture as the Russian peasants were, were good candidates for resettlement, often more willing to pack up and go in return for the promise of more land. The literacy societies were among the few public service organizations in tsarist Russia. The Khar’khov Society, while Russian-speaking, included many Ukrainians and was among the most active of such societies.
Cossak Settlement Soviet era Dekulakization
Kulaks and their families were deported.
World war two refugees
During Operation Barbarossa evacuations of Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian civilians from Europe over the Ural Mountains Commenced, These evacuees Included skilled Ukrainian and Jewish workers and Professionals as well as nationally conscious members of the Ukrainian Clergy and intelligentsia. The Soviets feared that the Nazis would exploit the ethno-national detachment of the educated and many were prohibited from returning to Ukraine after the war.
Gulag
During the Stalin era, and especially after World War II many Ukrainians were sent to Gulag; some of them were former participants of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Ukrainians contributed to the Norilsk Uprising and other gulag uprisings in 1953. Many (but not all) Ukrainians living in Siberia and Russia are the descendants of prisoners.
Modern Russia Ukrainian exodus
In mid-2014, trains began to arrive in Siberia carrying Ukrainian refugees. Many refugees and immigrants were welcomed by Siberian natives and many settled in predominantly indigenous areas.
Immigration Program
In 2016, a program was approved to help spur the development of the Russian far east. The program was aimed at Ukrainian refugees and immigrants. The ambitious program hopes to resettle 150,000 Ukrainian immigrants by years end. This may have something to do with the unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian illegal immigrants and refugees are being deported there en masse. The Russian nationalists and the Ukrainian government oppose this plan.

In the 19th century, the government of Russia encouraged peasants to move from the western parts of the empire to untilled lands in Siberia. This book was intended as a guide for peasants interested in resettling. It contained information about the climate and soils of Siberia, conditions and economic opportunities, essential expenses for relocation and construction in a new place, as well as recommendations for the behavior of migrants in transit. The book was published in Khar'kov (Kharkiv, in Ukrainian) by the Khar'kov Society for the Expansion of Literacy. Ukrainian peasants, not as burdened by the traditional Russian communal system of agriculture as the Russian peasants were, were good candidates for resettlement, often more willing to pack up and go in return for the promise of more land. The literacy societies were among the few public service organizations in tsarist Russia. The Khar'khov Society, while Russian-speaking, included many Ukrainians and was among the most active of such societies. World Digital Library.
