AKCJE WYSIEDLEŃCZE UKRAIŃCÓW-ŁEMKÓW W POLSCE W LATACH 1944–1950
DISPLACEMENT ACTIONS OF UKRAINIANS-LEMKOS IN POLAND IN 1944-1950

Summary/Abstract: The displacement of the Lemko population and all Ukrainians living in Poland in the years 1944-1950 was a consequence of the national policy of the communist Polish authorities. Their goal was to transform Poland into a mono-national state. The basic way to achieve this goal was to force national minorities to leave Poland and to apply assimilation measures to the rest. That is why, in 1947, the operation "Vistula" was carried out, as part of which the remaining Ukrainian-Lemkos were deported to the western and northern territories of Poland and assimilated.
