Summary/Abstract: In this contribution I describe some aspects of lives of Polish exiled priests (insurgents of the January Uprising of 1863), who were settled in Tunka, Eastern Siberia, near Lake Baikal. I focus on the attitude of the local population to the „Polish rebels“ and descriptions of their persecution – assaults and killings of priests perpetrated by the local inhabitants and local Cossacks. I describe, among other things, stories of persecuted clerics: Eliasz Garbowski, Józef Klimkiewicz and Franciszek Kozłowski (severely beaten and wounded), Ignacy Klimowicz and Anioł Sosnowski (robbed), Fr Józef Pawłowski (bestially murdered). The three short documentary texts that follow document those events.
