Last Call

The extraordinary story of a Polish military formation - the 5th Polish Rifle Division (also known as the Siberian Division) - operating during the civil war in Russian Siberia. The soldiers were recruited from among Polish prisoners of war from the German and Austrian armies and Poles who found themselves in exile in Siberia. Among the soldiers there were even volunteers - exiles who fought in the January Uprising more than 50 years earlier (!). The unit fought alongside the "white" Russians and the Entente troops alongside Admiral Kolchak. After the victory of the Bolsheviks, the decimated division reached free Poland after a long and dangerous journey. The soldiers of the Siberian Brigade took part in the Polish-Bolshevik war in 1920 and contributed significantly to the victorious counter-offensive near Borków, Zawady and Joniec.
