This book concerns the mass deportation of Poles and others to
Siberia following the failed 1863 Polish Insurrection. The imperial
Russian government fell back upon using exile to punish the
insurrectionists and to cleanse Russia's Western Provinces of
ethnic Poles. It convoyed some 20,000 inhabitants of the Kingdom of
Poland and the Western Provinces across the Urals to locations as
far away as Iakutsk, and assigned them to penal labor or forced
settlement. Yet the government's lack of infrastructure and
planning doomed this operation from the start, and the exiles found
ways to resist their subjugation. Based upon archival documents
from Siberia and the former Western Provinces, this book offers an
unparalleled exploration of the mass deportation. Combining social
history with an analysis of statecraft, it is a unique contribution
to scholarship on the history of Poland and the Russian Empire.
