- the presence and contribution of Poles to the economic and cultural development of Russia and the Soviet Union (including those people who found themselves there as a result of repression),
- about today's social life in the post-Soviet area, with a special focus on the places to which Poles and Polish citizens of other nationalities were sent, deported, and where they were imprisoned.
