		Polesia (also spelt Polesie or Polesye) is one of the largest European swampy areas, located in the South-Western part of the Eastern-European Lowland, mainly within the territories of Belarus, Ukraine but also partly within Poland and Russia.
		The swamp areas of Polesia are known as the Pripyat Marshes (after the Pripyat River) or Pinsk Marshes (after the major local city of Pinsk).
		Polesia is a marshy region lining the Pripyat River in Southern Belarus (Brest, Pinsk, Kalinkavichy, Homel), Northern Ukraine (in the Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Kiev, and Chernihiv Oblasts), and partly in Poland (Lublin) and Russia (Bryansk).

		The clay of Polesia was good material for making pots, and pot-making was widespread among the landless peasants, who used to individually sell their pots in the market.

	Pinsk, Belarus (Part 2, Chapter 1)
		Polesia – the land of the great swamps –; is dissected by streams and rivers of the Prifet.
		The economic structure of Polesia and the history of its development were not conducive to good relations between the Jews and their neighbors.
		The Jews, who were often agents of the estate owners or leased the lakes for fishing or dealt in lumber, were mostly middle class and were therefore the recipients of all of the animosity of the peasants toward the estate owners, and toward the reign of exploitation.

		Both scientists think that Slavs as such appeared and differentiated themselves from other tribes some time after 1 A.D. Many regions have been proposed as the hypothetical Slavic homeland.
		Suggestions include today's Poland, the marshes of Polesia, Volhynia, areas around the upper Dniepr river, and even Central Asia.
		Around 500 BC, Celtic tribes settled along the upper Oder river (Odra), and Germanic tribes settled on the lower Vistula and the lower Oder rivers.

	Sarmatian Review XVI.1: Patricia A. Gajda
		Finally reaching the last of these, Odessa, the author comes to the sea and enjoys a unique sense of liberation from the self-imposed limitations of the borderlands.
		Various threads run through the book: the good and evil of nationalism, nostalgia and the importance of remembering, the paucity of Soviet "culture," the need to belong - even to such small, unrecognized nations as Ruthenia, Transdniestria, and Polesia.
		Applebaum's sense of history is evident, giving both depth and clarity to her work.

	Akcja "Wisla": Poland's Solution to its "Ukrainian Problem?"
		Thus, continuing its destabilizing activities, the OUN targeted proponents of Polish-Ukrainian compromise, such as Tadeusz Holowko, in addition to government officials, like Bronislaw Pieracki, who participated in the pacification of the Ukrainian population.
		The OUN's revolutionary activities in such areas as Wolyn, Polesia, and Chelm heightened during World War II, after the Red Army entered Poland in September 1939.
		Jan Gross writes that the majority of Ukrainians celebrated the entry of the Red Army because, unfurling blue-and-yellow colors, they welcomed the collapse of the Polish state.

		The other example would be to reverse the Partition of Poland, and give them back Warsaw, Lower Galacia, Upper Galacia, West Prussia, Podelia, and Polesia.
		With Warsaw, Poland was able to raise twelve Infantry and six Cavalry regiments, or maybe six Regular Infantry and three Regular Cavalry figures.

		I knew your butchers and waggoners, your ship-caulkers and those who tied up the rafts at the riverside; the hawkers who used to stand up to drunken peasants and the Jews who lived in the Yurzydika, who were brought up to toil with their hands; to say nothing of the market-boys who fought so well.
		Your handful of partisans who passed through the seven infernos of the Resistance on the way here, through the forests of Polesia and the borders of Rumania and Italy, serve as witnesses that even in the day of wrath and distress you had not entirely lost your own brave spirit.
		The enemy must indeed have been very powerful and cruel to have trapped you thus.
