Suggesting a Polish minority didn't exist in Russia prior to 1921 is pretty lame. What about all the Poles that were exiled to Siberia in the 19th century and stayed there? This needs elaborating on -- Apoivre

[edit] Polish citizens during WWII

Polish citizens during WWII weren't any "minority". The SU acknowledged that allowing the majority of the Poles emigrate after the war. Xx236 14:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

It would be more 'academic' to write something like that "Those expelled, if survived the travel, had higher level of life and more liberty than those who stayed." Xx236 11:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
