Abstract. The dispossession of peasants and their further exile are a tragic page in the Soviet past. It is relevant to study how the peasants withstood all the hardships and rigors of daily routine existed in new conditions of isolation being repressed without legal grounds for life.  Deprived of elementary rights, people made up for the missing industry personnel in jobs that did not require high qualifications. The so-called kulaks were sent to work at the construction sites of the five-year plan, fellings and mines, etc. Where it was difficult to send a free person of his own free will. The subject of the study is the adaptation of exiled peasants to new living conditions, their daily life, emotional and psychological state. The purpose of the study is to determine the real situation of the special contingent in the Ural region in the early 1930s. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the article analyzes and systematizes both new published documents and those introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The chronological framework of the study covers 1930–1933, when the mass eviction of wealthy peasants took place. The article uses both general scientific methods and historical-genetic, comparative and other methods of historical research. As a result of studying the exiles’ life, it was revealed that the special settlers, especially at the first stage of exile, were in the most difficult conditions. Uncomfortable housing was allocated for their living. The insufficient medical care and the poor supply of food and industrial goods led to high mortality. The hard work going along with the unsettled life caused lots of stress and frustration.

Keywords: Ural region, exiled peasants, special settlements, living conditions, medical care, food.
