036: Filipiak. Filipyak Semyon Semyonovich (1892-?). Personal file of a prisoner
The case contains documents concerning the arrest, imprisonment and release of Filipiak Semyon Semyonovich, born in 1892, a native of the village of Muchina, Yaroslavsky district, Lvov voivodeship (Poland), a Pole by nationality, a peasant.
Filipyak S.S. was arrested on March 13, 1940 in Przemysl on charges of illegally crossing (March 7, 1940) the state border of the USSR from the territory of Poland occupied by Germany (Article 80 of the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian SSR). He was sent to the Przemysl prison, then to Odessa and assigned to the Special Conference of the NKVD of the USSR. Then he was transported to the east and on July 24, 1941, he was placed in Prison No. 3 in Tomsk.
He was released on August 28, 1941, based on the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 12, 1941, on amnesty for Polish citizens after the conclusion of the Sikorski-Maisky Agreement. His subsequent fate is not traced in archival documents.
Composition of documents:
The file contains: a decision on the selection of a preventive measure, a fingerprint card, prison photographs, a medical certificate, an registration card, a pass to leave the prison, as well as a release certificate with the handwritten signature of the released person (in Latin transcription)
Note: The scanned documents erroneously contain two registration cards for another person (Yosht Rudolf Rudolfovich), arrested on a similar charge.
The file was discovered by chance, in the damp basement of SIZO-1, about 80 years after it was established. The file is in a deplorable state, the pages are eaten away by fungus and falling apart. The museum staff attempted to dry the documents and make copies.
