In the spring of 1955 a transport of exiles from various camps arrived in YENISSEYSK and then travelled on to SEVERA-YENISSEYSK (North Yenisseysk). Among the exiles were Czeslav PAVLOVSKI-MALINOVSKI and Maria KVACH-BUKLIS.
PAVLOVSKI-MALINOVSKI served in the AK (Armiya Krayova - Polish troops that fought against the occupants; translator's note), was wounded during a fight and lost one of his arms. Both, Maria and Czeslav were arrested in the environs of Vilensk and served a 10 years' sentence.
They were exiled to Yenisseys (they were "ransomed" from camp commandant K. Slobodsyanek and M. Schiller. Also see Barbara Olendzka . Memoirs.
They got married and rented a room (with a separate entrance) in the two-storeyed house of Yefim Burdakov, Raboche-Krestyanskaya Street No. 132.
Czeslav PAVLOVSKI-MALINOVSKI worked in the timber mill, his wife as a book-keeper.
They were released in November 1955 and repatriated. After the return to their home country they lived in Zoppot, later in Gdansk.
