The article is devoted to one of the groups of special deportees which appeared in the Stalinist state and consisted of the frontiersmen of Belorussia and Ukraine.

The author investigated the reasons of temporary separate resettlement of family heads (in Yakutia) and other family members (in DVK), describes a painful process of their reunification, their living conditions in special settlements and their labor in the areas of gold mines.
