"One can observe a strong anger and hatred towards the Poles": "the Polish trace" in the events of the Civil War in Siberia
The article presents the results of a study of the activities of Polish military formations on the territory of Novonikolaevsky Uyezd in 1919. On the basis of archival documents, examples of three types of use of armed violence against local residents are given: murders (shootings), corporal punishment (whipping), armed robbery ("requisitions" and ordinary robbery). It is noted that the behavior of the Polish military was so unceremonious that it even got into the reports of official representatives of the Kolchak authorities. For the first time, the author compiled a consolidated list of names of the residents of Novonikolaevsky district who died at the hands of the Polish military (81 persons) with a partial indication of the time, place and circumstances of their death. In order to restore historical justice and objectivity in the final section, it is proposed, as soon as reliable data is obtained and all necessary procedures are followed, to make appropriate adjustments to the inscriptions on memorial complexes dedicated to the victims of the Civil War, since there is still no monument in the territory of the Novosibirsk Region indicating foreign interventionists as the direct culprits of the tragedy.
