That's a useful map, actually shows a lot more than the title suggests! I note the arrow showing exodus from Circassia / Abkhazia (pushed by Russia) is at least as big. To complete the picture it could be useful to indicate, alongside the source end of each arrow, a symbol indicating the number who didn't make it due to war and genocide, and for context the numbers who remained. Also there are emigrants who moved outside the region.
Glad you found it interesting!
