Summary/Abstract: The Great War, before it brought the independence to Poles, led to the exodus about of million of persons of Polish nationality from areas of the Congress Kingdom of Poland (established in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna) and Galicia. In the half the 1915 the offensive of armies of Central States induced Russian authorities for making a decision on the evacuation of residents of these areas. This step changed completely current life of this people. In this sketch I examined selected aspects of the new daily presence of Poles right after the arrival in places of the accommodation.
