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!
