details of death

In the summer of 1915, during World War I, after the Russian defeat in 05.1919 in the Battle of Gorlice, evacuated deep into Russia (the so‐called bezhenstvo, during which c. 3 million, mainly Russians, escaped from the occupied territories of Poland).

Initially, moved to Moscow, then after 1918 and the Bolshevik revolution, to Maloyaroslavets in the Kaluga oblast.

Then resided in Rogovatoye village, today in the Belgorod Oblast, and next, after the end of the Polish–Russian war of 1919‐1921, returned to his homeland, to independent Poland.

After the German and Russian attack on Poland in 09.1939 and the start of World War II, after the German attack on their erstwhile ally, the Russians, and the start of the German occupation, the Germans turned his church into military barracks.

According to sources, supported local partisans, providing them with food, medicine and clothes.

Protested against the persecution of parishioners.

Detained by the Germans (according to some sources, a Hungarian unit) forced to dig his own grave in the church square.

Beaten for over 5 hours, hung on the bars of the church fence — was supposed to have a scratched head, torn out hair and a broken leg — finally driven to the edge of a dug pit and shot.

Ribbentrop‐Molotov: Genocidal Russian‐German alliance pact between Russian leader Joseph Stalin and German leader Adolf Hitler signed on 23.08.1939 in Moscow by respective foreign ministers, Mr. Vyacheslav Molotov for Russia and Joachim von Ribbentrop for Germany. The pact sanctioned and was the direct cause of joint Russian and German invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the World War II in 09.1939. In a political sense, the pact was an attempt to restore the status quo ante before 1914, with one exception, namely the „commercial” exchange of the so‐called „Kingdom of Poland”, which in 1914 was part of the Russian Empire, fore Eastern Galicia (today's western Ukraine), in 1914 belonging to the Austro‐Hungarian Empire. Galicia, including Lviv, was to be taken over by the Russians, the „Kingdom of Poland” — under the name of the General Governorate — Germany. The resultant „war was one of the greatest calamities and dramas of humanity in history, for two atheistic and anti‐Christian ideologies — national and international socialism — rejected God and His fifth Decalogue commandment: Thou shall not kill!” (Abp Stanislav Gądecki, 01.09.2019). The decisions taken — backed up by the betrayal of the formal allies of Poland, France and Germany, which on 12.09.1939, at a joint conference in Abbeville, decided not to provide aid to attacked Poland and not to take military action against Germany (a clear breach of treaty obligations with Poland) — were on 28.09.1939 slightly altered and made more precise when a treaty on „German‐Russian boundaries and friendship” was agreed by the same murderous signatories. One of its findings was establishment of spheres of influence in Central and Eastern Europe and in consequence IV partition of Poland. In one of its secret annexes agreed, that: „the Signatories will not tolerate on its respective territories any Polish propaganda that affects the territory of the other Side. On their respective territories they will suppress all such propaganda and inform each other of the measures taken to accomplish it”. The agreements resulted in a series of meeting between two genocidal organization representing both sides — German Gestapo and Russian NKVD when coordination of efforts to exterminate Polish intelligentsia and Polish leading classes (in Germany called «Intelligenzaktion», in Russia took the form of Katyń massacres) where discussed. Resulted in deaths of hundreds of thousands of Polish intelligentsia, including thousands of priests presented here, and tens of millions of ordinary people,. The results of this Russian‐German pact lasted till 1989 and are still in evidence even today. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage
