This is so ignorant.

Look up The Great Purge, happened before WWII. Look up the deportations of Baltic peoples, Ukrainians, Chechens after the war. Smaller groups of people as well like Ingrian Finns, Volga Germans. How they tried to banish all their Jews into the “Jewish Autonomous Oblast” in the Far-East.

Look up gulags and how people ended up in them (spoiler: it wasn’t just the kulaks or “political enemies” as if that made it better). Look up forced deportations in cattle carriages and how people fared in them.

So how would you describe displacing entire ethnicities or groups of people just because they belong to a certain ethnicity, forcibly deporting them to different regions with many dying on the way, if not ethnic cleansing? What in my statement was incorrect?
