Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the Soviet Union’s repressive policies against Polish citizens during the construction of the railway connection between Akmolinsk and Kartaly. Archival documents and memoirs of the deportees from prewar Poland present a terrifying image of the tragic fate experienced by those who worked building the key railway line established in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic during the Second World War.
