The article is dedicated to the Polish colony in Manchuria, which came into being at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and lasted for over 50 years. In successive parts, the author discusses manifestations of cultural life of Poles in Manchuria. He concentrates mostly on Polish cultural institutions created by Poles, the magazines they published. The author points out the merits of some greatest representatives of the colony. The important role was also played by Polish Consulate in Harbin and its workers dedicated to their tasks. After the Second World War broke out, the situation of Polish community became more difficult, and the colony ceased to exist under communist regime in China. Poles left and material traces of their residence in Manchuria also ceased to exist.

The repatriation of Poles after World War II, despite its flaws, which caused its implementation not possible until 1949, at that period was possible only with the support of the Soviet Union. The international situation and the political situation in China in late forties made USSR only possible link between polish government and Manchuria, and a potential ally, which had measures to help in its organization. It was a pragmatic decision based on the possibilities and conditions. The central soviet authorities had an established communication with his consulate, adequate infrastructure for the transit of returnees and already developed basis of Polish-Soviet agreement on its terms. Only the change of the political situation after the establishment of Peoples Republic of China has allowed the Polish authorities to avoid additional costs and delays, which ware considerable disadvantages of the repatriation in cooperation with the Soviet Union.

Historia Polaków wywodzących się z Mandżurii, którzy brali udział w kampanii wrześniowej, a także w walkach Samodzielnej Brygady Strzelców Karpackich, jak i innych jednostek Polskich Sił Zbrojnych na Zachodzie, to nie tylko niezwykle chlubna karta dziejów Polonii mandżurskiej, lecz również oręża polskiego oraz narodu polskiego walczącego o swoje przetrwanie w szczególnie ciężkich warunkach II wojny światowej. Bohaterska postawa wielu Polaków z Mandżurii walczących w Wojsku Polskim jest tym bardziej godna uwagi, że część z nich znała Polskę wyłącznie z opowiadań swoich rodziców bądź nauczycieli, mimo to po jej upadku w 1939 r. byli oni gotowi do walki o jej wyzwolenie.

The history of Poles originating from Manchuria who participated in the 1939 Defensive War, and in the combat operations of the Independent Carpathian Rifle Brigade, as well as other units of the Polish Armed Forces in the West, is not only a glorious card in the history of Polish diaspora in Manchuria, but it also marks strength of the Polish Army and a nation which was forced to fight for its survival in particularly difficult conditions of World War II. The heroic attitude of many Poles from Manchuria fighting in the Polish Army is all the more remarkable that some of them knew Poland only from the stories told them by their parents or teachers, however after its fall in 1939 they were ready to fight for its liberation.

Pod koniec XIX wieku rozmaite względy geopolityczne, militarne, polityczne i ekonomiczne skłoniły władze carskiej Rosji do prowadzenia polityki masowej kolonizacji Dalekiego Wschodu. Proces ten doprowadził do pojawienia się licznych słowiańskich enklaw w północno-wschodnich Chinach poczynając od końca 1890 roku. W konsekwencji północna Mandżuria stała się ostatnim ważnym miejscem spotkań europejskich osadników i azjatyckich mieszkańców pogranicza obejmującego Imperium Rosyjskie i Cesarstwo Chin. Europejskie osadnictwo w Mandżurii odcisnęło głębokie piętno na zmieniającym się krajobrazie tego regionu w najbliższym półwieczu. Na początku XX wieku wielu Polaków wyemigrowało na Daleki Wschód w poszukiwaniu lepszych warunków życia. Udało im się znaleźć pracę przy budowie Kolei Wschodniochińskiej i obsłudze nowej linii kolejowej. Inni znaleźli zatrudnienie jako lekarze, inżynierowie, bankierzy i prawnicy. Tym sposobem, w przeciwieństwie do innych środowisk polonijnych, grupa ta w dużej mierze składała się z zamożnych i wykształconych osób.

During the late nineteenth century, geopolitical, military, political as well as economic considerations combined to induce the Tsarist government to pursue a policy of mass colonization of the Far East. This process led to the appearance of numerous Slavic enclaves in Northeastern China from the late 1890s onwards. As a consequence, northern Manchuria became the final major meeting point between European settlers and Asian inhabitants of the borderland encompassing Tsarist Russia as well as Imperial China. The European settlement in Manchuria was to leave profound imprints on the region’s changing landscape for the next half-century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, numerous Poles migrated to the Far East in pursuit of better economic conditions. They found work building the Chinese Eastern Railway and remained behind to help operate the line. Others were employed as physicians, engineers, bankers and lawyers. In this way, unlike other Polish diaspora communities, this grup largely comprised wealthy and educated individuals.

In the first half of the twentieth century, Manchuria occupied a special place in the Chinese scenery. More importantly, the land distinguished itself with a conflict-free multiculturalism. Further, it was a territory lying immediately in the borderland between Slavic and Chinese spheres of influence with all ensuing consequences. Poles and Ukrainians constituted an important part of this cultural melting pot, involving a fusion of nationalities and ethnicities. Undoubtedly, Ukrainians as well as Poles in Northeastern China contributed greatly to the cultural enrichment of the inhabited area. Regrettably, the sociocultural activities of numerous Polish and Ukrainian communities scattered across the region came to a sudden halt with the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in August 1945. Therefore, this text is devoted primarily to the study of Polish and Ukrainian settlement in Manchuria.
