		Russian Poland experiences the full force of militarism, but still more important as a cause of emigration is the state of terrorism in the great manufacturing districts of Russian Poland, aggravated by the Russo-Japanese War.

	Baptist Records in Russian Poland
		Included with all of the people who lived in Poland, a significant number were of German ancestry, some of whom were of the Baptist faith.
		These people moved into Poland from the German states and Prussia at least as early as the late 18th century, and somewhat continuously in large numbers until at least the 1870s.
		Because records after about 1869 are in the more difficult (to us) Russian Cyrillic, the Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe will, at this time, limit the tranlation of Baptist parish indexes to about 1869 (except for those cases where the film continues in German or Polish) and earlier.

	The World of Provincial Bureaucracy in Late 19th and Early 20th Century Russian Poland
		This book is a case study that investigates the social origins, the confessional and ethnic backgrounds, and the culture of work and leisure that constituted the lives of the provincial officials of Russian Poland from the 1870s through the 1900s.
		Vladimirov locates her study of the provincial bureaucracy in a relatively tranquil time in Russian Poland, following the January Insurrection of 1863 but before the Revolution of 1905, a period that offers both a fair consistency of demographic data about its members and a continuity of both personnel and attitudes for analysis.
		While most historians have portrayed the Russian imperial bureaucracy in Poland according to unchallenged stereotypes, which do more to support a mythical national Polish narrative than historical scholarship, Vladimirov sees its members in terms of their actual individual and corporate identities, interests, aspirations, and prejudices.
