Red Army’s Western Division. Contribution to the history of Polish-speaking units of Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army in 1917–1919

Summary/Abstract: In the study the Author has tackled the issue of social and political circumstances, as well as the methods of forming Polish-speaking units of Red Army, namely the Western Rifles Division, by Polish-speaking and Polish communists staying in Soviet Russia. He was also interested in the actual motives – primarily political ones – which were driving the authorities of communist Russia when they agreed to form Polish speaking military units on their territory. At the same time, the Author has also determined the actual results of the organizational actions taken then, as well as the reasons why the Soviets decided to end the existence of the Western Rifles Division in the summer of 1919.
