Summary/Abstract: The article presents the fate of Dionizy Jaczewski and other Polish students at the Kazan University in 1840s. The students were sentenced to exile for participating in Szymon Konarski’s conspiracy and moved from the University of Kiev in 1839. In Kazan, they met Leo Tolstoy, who lived there after the death of his parents and who started studying law and oriental languages at Kazan University in 1844. Tolstoy immortalized the names of the convicted students in the short story For what? (1906), which presents the persecution of Poles after the defeat of the November Uprising.
