Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town

Yeah!

obozach jenieckich w latach 1920-21". Mialo ich tam zginac 60 tys.
Odwet za antysemityzm, po dzis dzien obecny w polskich genach.

POLISH-RUSSIAN FINDINGS ON THE SITUATION OF RED ARMY SOLDIERS

POLISH-RUSSIAN FINDINGS ON THE SITUATION OF RED ARMY SOLDIERS
IN POLISH CAPTIVITY (1919-1922)


In response to the re-emerging question of the situation of Russian
prisoners of the 1920 war, the Head Office of State Archives together
with the Federal Agency for Russian Archives have published a
collection of archival materials in Russian, entitled ,,Krasnoarmiejcy
w polskom plenu w 1919-1922 g. Sbornik dokumentow i materiałow"
["Red Army Soldiers in Polish Captivity in 1919-1922. A Collection
of Documents And Materials"] (Moscow 2004). It comprises a selection
of 338 source documents from Polish and Russian archives referring to
the stories of Russian prisoners of war from the moment of their
capture, through the imprisonment in Polish POW camps, until their
return to the Soviet Russia.
This one-thousand-page publication has been meticulously prepared
academically. The authors' intention was to present to, first of all,
Russian historians and public opinion the most important archival
documents touching upon the question which, to date, has caused a lot
of controversies and has been the subject of various propagandist
campaigns. The data contained in the publication concerns the total
number of Red Army prisoners during the war of 1919-1920, including
the number of those who died, as well as the cause of their death.
The authors - Polish historians, outstanding specialists on the
history of the Polish-Bolshevik war, namely Professor Waldemar Rezmer
and Professor Zbigniew Karpus of the Mikołaj Kopernik University in
Torun, Professor Gennadij Matvejev of the Lomonosov University in
Moscow, as well as Polish and Russian archivists who conducted the
archival investigation and processed the documents - have guaranteed
the credibility and high scientific standard of the publication.
The diligent approach to the problem allowed to establish a common
standing of the Polish and Russian historians. They stated that the
presented archival materials are credible and reliable, and that they
reflect the truth of the difficult situation of Soviet POWs imprisoned
in camps on the territory of Poland. According to the estimates of
Polish historians, the number of Russian prisoners in Polish camps in
1920 oscillated between 80 and 85 thousand, while the number of deaths
during the overall period the camps were active amounted to 16-17
thousand. Professor Matvejev estimates that there were 18-20 thousand
fatalities.
Thus, the publication repudiates a widespread opinion of the Russians,
who quote a many times higher number of the victims in this group of
war fatalities (40, 60 or over 100 thousand). The publication also
refutes the hypothesis of alleged mass executions of Soviet POWs in
Polish camps, which, according to some Russian historians,
"justified", in Stalin's eyes, the Katyn atrocity. Source
documents prove that the cause of prisoners' deaths were diseases or
epidemics (typhus, cholera, dysentery, flu) which took a heavy toll in
this war-damaged country, not only in POW camps, but also among
fighting soldiers and civilians.
The publication is available for purchase through the Head Office of
State Archives. Individuals or entities interested in the publication
may also order my post (00-950 Warszawa, ul. Długa 6, PO box 1005),
