Common Errors:

• Error: Using "депортировать" in historical exile contexts. Incorrect: "Его депортировали в Сибирь в 1930-х." Correct: "Его выслали в Сибирь в 1930-х." Explanation: "депортировать" is tied to modern legal deportation, while "высылать" fits historical banishment.
• Error: Forgetting the aspectual difference between "высылать" (imperfective, ongoing action) and "выслать" (perfective, completed action). Incorrect: "Я высылаю его вчера." Correct: "Я выслал его вчера." Explanation: Use the perfective form for completed past actions.

Cultural Notes:

The concept of deportation, especially through "высылать", carries heavy historical weight in Russia due to the Soviet practice of exiling dissidents or ethnic groups to remote areas like Siberia. This historical context often colors the usage of "высылать" with a sense of forced displacement or punishment, beyond mere legal deportation.

• репрессия (repression, often tied to political deportation)
• миграция (migration, related to movement across borders)
