sobieski 106 | 2111 6 Nov 2012 / #3Same as a sizeable proportion of the Wrocław population comes from Lwów. Including the famous Ossolineum library.I would not call them transplants though. Rather very unwilling emigrants.They were deported by the Soviets from their ancestral homelands and kicked to ancestral German homelands.

It's not like in Wroclaw. Ask our premier minister - Donald Tusk - he is a Pole and his family are native to native to North Poland. ;)
Harry 7 Nov 2012 / #6No more that 30% of current residents of this part of country are the Polish moved from from Ukraine and Bialorus.Got some statistics to support that? At least in the Slupsk region a lot more than 30% of the current residents are descended from people who were moved there from Ukraine and Belorus.
