Focusing on the mass deportation of Poles to Siberia after the 1863 Polish Insurrection, the book examines the imperial Russian government's punitive measures against insurrectionists. It details the forced relocation of approximately 20,000 individuals, their assignment to penal labor, and the challenges posed by inadequate infrastructure. The narrative highlights the resilience of the exiles in resisting oppression.
