Rewolucja: Russian Poland, 1904-1907 Themes

Freedom and Independence

Rewolucja delves deep into the uprisings of the Polish people under Russian rule. Their constant rebellion against the Soviet power further fueled their desire to be free and independent. Through countless failed attempts to overthrow Russia, the Polish people never gave up on their quest for freedom. They used all their failed revolutions as lessons on how to finally defeat the Soviet Union, which they eventually did, earning them their freedom and sovereignty.

Colonialism, Politics and Governance

The Kingdom of Poland, under Russian colonial rule, had to abandon all their earlier ways of life and forced to adopt the Russian way of society, political ideology and governance. When the revolution began, Polish leaders had to adopt an entirely new political system which sought to reinvent the old systems of governance that failed the Kingdom and led to Russian invasion and occupation.

War, Murder and Violence

Throughout the period of Russian rule, the Polish people repeatedly attempted to overthrow the Soviet power and set up their sovereign rule but kept on failing. Many Polish people were brutally tortured and murdered in encampment camps designated for punishing dissidence. Violent confrontations with the well-trained and heavily equipped Russian army led to a massacre of Polish soldiers who were ill prepared for war.
