The idea of patriotism of Polish „sybiractwo” in the Second World War eraFrom December 1939, each month, 150 000 exiles were sent to the Siberian taiga. It is estimated that by mid April 1940, 1 million people lost their lives there, mainly due to maladjustment to the climate, hard work and lack of food. Is it possible to claim that such deprived persons had the need to manifest their attachment to their native country in such a difficult environment?
