Stalin's "Gosstrakh" system crippled and broke human souls with incredible efficiency. It gave birth to an ugly and naive philosophy of survival, based on an absolute disregard for all age-old ethnic prohibitions.

Hero V.A. Khanevich is a kind of “little man” of the 1930s, who wanted not only to survive, but also to receive some “respect” from the authorities. Nothing worked out for him: the chip thought that it was accepted into the game according to the rules, but there were neither rules nor a game. It just so happened that the authorities equally mowed down both “strangers” and “our own” with enviable disdain for any “merits”. Pushnin’s fate was completely trivial - and the soul-comforting thoughts that he who has done evil will wash himself with evil are hardly appropriate here. No, before us is an ordinary story from the recent past: if it weren’t covered in blood, it could even be called a protracted anecdote.

В статье рассматриваются подробности репрессивной политики НКВД в 1930-е годы на примере сотрудников и методов следственных органов, а также процессов реабилитации в 1950-е годы. В исследовании представлены свидетельства бывших следователей НКВД, архивные документы и воспоминания жертв репрессий, раскрывающие систему фальсификаций уголовных дел, методы психологического и физического воздействия на арестованных, а также особенности выполнения смертных приговоров. Упомянуты конкретные личности, участвовавшие в репрессиях, их показания и роль в создании "контрреволюционных" дел. Документируется использование пыток и жестокости, порой с элементами садизма, как в ходе допросов, так и при осуществлении расстрелов. Автор акцентирует внимание на том, как бывшие следователи НКВД оправдывали свои действия, объясняя их исполнением приказов и отсутствием осознания преступного характера своих действий. Также обсуждаются последствия репрессий для общества, включая массовые захоронения и скрытые места расстрелов в Сибири.

On the creation of a museum of the socio-political history of the Tomsk region. An appeal to readers to assist in the creation of a new museum in Tomsk

Presentation of the new historical magazine "Karta", which began to be published in the city of Ryazan as part of the international program of activities of the Polish research center "Eastern Archive" and the Russian society "Memorial".

The story of Polish officers shot by the NKVD in 1940 in Katyn by decision of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party. The version of a former NKVD employee about the presence of an unknown burial site of Polish officers in Tomsk.

====

The article is a study based on testimonies, archival materials and journalistic investigation, dedicated to the alleged mass burial of Polish prisoners of war near Tomsk in 1940. The central figure of the story is Alexander Ilyich Ryzhy, a former employee of the Tomsk NKVD, who in the 1990s came forward with sensational testimony. He claimed that in the spring of 1940, a train with Polish officers passed through Tomsk, after which the bodies of the dead were allegedly buried near the Tomsk-2 station.

Ryzhy also spoke about meetings in the NKVD administration, where the destruction of traces of mass murder was discussed. His testimony is confirmed or supplemented by eyewitness accounts - local residents, as well as his relatives, who saw the unloading of wagons with corpses. The text conveys in detail the atmosphere of fear that reigned among NKVD workers, and shares memories of the repressions that affected both the Poles and the employees of the department themselves.

Much attention is paid to the reaction to this information, both inside and outside Tomsk. After the publication of Ryzhy's story in the media, the information reached the Polish side, which led to diplomatic contacts, visits to Tomsk and the beginning of an official prosecutor's investigation. During the investigation, no mass Polish burial site was found, but other sites of mass burials from the time of the repressions were discovered. The version about the "Tomsk Katyn" remained unproven, but the story of A.I. Ryzhy shed light on the dark pages of the NKVD's activities in Siberia.

The text combines elements of documentary, oral history and investigative journalism. It is of considerable value as an attempt to restore historical truth, and also as an example of how personal memories can trigger a process of public understanding of the past.

About the representative of the Polish embassy in Tomsk in 1941-1942 Boleslav Konecki

About the plans of the Polish society in Tomsk to write and publish a biographical dictionary "Poles in Tomsk: 400 years"

The article examines the history of the Polish diaspora in the Tomsk region from the late 1930s to the end of the 20th century, focusing on the consequences of the deportation of Poles in 1940, repressions, and the processes of restoration of Polish cultural and national identity. It describes the participation of Polish citizens deported to Siberia in the formation of the Polish army during the Great Patriotic War, as well as their life under the totalitarian regime, including the creation of cultural and educational institutions such as Polish schools, orphanages, and cultural associations supported by the Polish embassy.

The article analyzes the impact of post-war Soviet policy on the Polish diaspora, emphasizing the period of silencing of Polish identity and the practice of Russification. In the context of democratization in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a revival of Polish self-awareness in Tomsk, which is reflected in the activities of Polish public organizations such as Memorial, Dom Polski, and Bely Oryol. These organizations played a key role in studying the repressions, restoring cultural traditions, and returning the Catholic church to Tomsk.

The final part of the article touches upon contemporary processes of strengthening Polish national identity and cultural heritage in the Tomsk region, including support for Polish traditions, organization of cultural events and development of relations with Poland.

The article by V.A.

Unlike traditional methods of compiling necropolises, this work uses a new approach based on the data of the metric books of the Tomsk Roman Catholic Church. This allows us to present a complete picture of the life and death of Catholics, among whom Polish surnames predominate, as well as the social composition and ethnic diversity of the cemetery. The article emphasizes the importance of this source for the study of the history of the Polish colony in Tomsk, reflecting in it the history of the participants in the Polish uprising of 1863, political exiles, settlers, as well as representatives of various professions.

Настоящее исследование посвящено вкладу представителей польской диаспоры в развитие системы образования и просветительской деятельности в городе Томске в XIX — начале XX века. Особое внимание уделяется фигурам педагогов польского происхождения, оказавших значительное влияние на становление и развитие учебных заведений Западной Сибири. В центре повествования — деятельность Бориса Ивановича Сциборского, одного из наиболее ярких просветителей того времени, а также целого круга учителей и администраторов, активно работавших в мужских и женских гимназиях города.

Рассматриваются биографии и профессиональный путь таких деятелей, как Иосиф и Бронислав Быстржицкие, Федор Обидзинский, Ананий Лякиде, Фадей Дульский, Владислав Пирусский и многих других. Особо отмечаются формы общественной и благотворительной активности этих личностей, включая организацию воскресных школ, народных чтений, внешкольных курсов и оздоровительных лагерей. Анализируется их участие в становлении Томского технологического института и в создании частных образовательных инициатив, таких как гимназия Ольги Миркович.

В исследовании также затрагиваются связи польского населения с ссыльной и академической средой Томска, подчеркивается устойчивость и преемственность польского культурно-образовательного присутствия в городе. Текст демонстрирует, что вклад польских учителей в просвещение и общественное развитие Томска был не только масштабным, но и глубоко интегрированным в общее образовательное движение региона.

A newspaper article about how human remains were found during an excursion to Kashtak, the site of mass executions, in October 1991

On the consecration of the Church of the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church, erected in memory of the victims of Stalin's repressions on Kashtachnaya Gora in Tomsk. The church is part of the memorial complex "Tomsk Golgotha", created on the site of mass graves from the 1920s-1940s. In the future, a large church complex is planned to be built on this site. The memory of the victims of repressions is supported by the Tomsk Society "Memorial", which in 1989 conducted the first excavations on Kashtachnaya and discovered the remains of those executed. The church will become a symbol of perpetuating the memory and the right to restore the history of thousands of innocent victims.

Publication in the handwritten journal of the historical section of the Tomsk Institute of Political Studies "Memorial"

The article covers the conflict around memorial columns with portraits of victims of Stalin's repressions, installed on Kashtachnaya Gora in Tomsk. The memorial signs, organized at the site of mass graves, contain images of people who died during the Great Terror. However, the city administration, citing the rules, ordered their removal. The public, including representatives of the descendants of the repressed, such as Vladimir Golitsyn and Maria Polivanova, are calling for the memorial columns to be preserved. The position was supported by historian and researcher Vasily Khanevich, who is ready to take on the approval of the installation of the memorials. The authorities proposed a compromise path to approval, which will allow the memorial signs to be preserved for the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repression.

Review article on the book by V. Khanevich "Bialystok Tragedy"

Conclusion of the Commission: The dismissal of assistant V. V. Artsimovich from TPI by order No. 520 of 12.02.1976 contradicts Soviet legislation, "his unsuitability for teaching due to moral and business qualities", as the Rector's Commission concluded in 1976, is a far-fetched defamation of an honest and highly moral person, the use of the wording of paragraph 3 of Article 254 of the Labor Code of the RSFSR - "committing... an immoral act" is slander against him.

The commission recommends contacting the rector I. P. Chuchalin ... with a request to reinstate V. V. Artsimovich in the TPI philosophy department.
