Svitlana Frunchak's argument seem the most plausible .
They needed our flats for Red Army staff,
On the day we left a red army officer showed up to take over.
But they could have sent us to Vorkutka !
Or to Birobidjan,
Hardy

Hardy...
You asked: "Why did they let us go?" - Well, while Mordechai Altshuler
stated (p. 62/63 [9/10])

"To the best of our knowledge, the reasons that led the Soviet government
and Stalin personally to decide in August 1945 an the transfer of thousands
of Jews from Chernovtsy Province to Romania were not connected with a change
in the negative Soviet attitude toward the Jewish community in Palestine
(the yishuv). There are also good grounds for assuming that the decision was
not motivated by concern for the suffering of the Jewish population. Rather
the decision appears to have been primarily influenced by consideration for
the hostility of the local population toward the Jews and the general
tendency to Ukrainize areas that had been annexed to the Soviet Union."
personally I tend to share Svitlana Frunchak's opinion, when she's stating
in her dissertation (p. 342/3 [352/3])

"Ideology was only one important dimension of the 1945-1946 "evacuation."
Another was the practical issue of expropriating the evacuees' possessions.
Although often impoverished and having been deprived of many of their
belongings during the first Sovietization of 1940-1941, the Romanian
occupation, and the second Sovietization of 1944-1945, many Jews who
survived the Holocaust in the city still occupied prestigious apartments - a
commodity that was becoming more and more precious with the continuous
arrival of Soviet in-migrants."
However that may be, that's how it goes!
