The instructions detailed procedures how to carry out the mass deportations to Siberia of June 13 and June 14, 1941 throughout the Baltic States during the first Soviet occupation of 1940-1941. The instructions specified that the deportations would be carried out as secretly, quietly, and speedily as possible. The families were allowed to take up to 100 kilograms (220 lb) of their belongings (clothes, food, kitchen ware). The heads of the families were sent to Gulag labor camps, while their families were transported to forced settlements in remote areas of the Soviet Union.
