Abstract:

So far, little is known about the Polish intelligentsia that stayed in the USSR after 1945. Therefore, the publication of the biographical dictionary “Zostali na Wschodzie. Słownik inteligencji polskiej w ZSRS 1945–1991” is an excellent idea, as it marks a starting point for this type of research. Its first two volumes, edited by Adam Hlebowicz, have been published by the Institute of National Remembrance. However, this publication is not free from shortcomings. The most important one is that no distinction was made between former citizens of the Second Polish Republic and Poles who had lived in the remaining vast areas of the USSR. Although the dictionary covers the history of the Polish intelligentsia in the USSR, the people discussed were assigned to countries that did not exist before 1991 (such as Ukraine, Belarus and others). Moreover, the first two volumes lack biographies of many famous people. Instead, they provide information about people who were less important for the history of the Polish intelligentsia in the former USSR.
