metadata.value: Among those Poles deported to the USSR from the eastern provinces of Poland annexed by the USSR
  in 1939 were many families and children. The Sikorski–Mayski agreement, signed on 30 July 1941, opened the
  way for Poland and the USSR to resume diplomatic relations. The Embassy of the Republic of Poland set up
  agencies, so-called Delegations, whose mission was, among others, to implement decisions made by the Polish-
  Soviet commission. The commission provided welfare services for Poles, which included opening shelters,
  kindergartens, schools, and orphanages. Initially, from autumn of 1941 to summer 1942, the Soviet authorities
  supported the establishment of such educational care centers, although after July 1942, when the Polish delegations
  were dissolved, some of these were shut down, and Polish children were moved to Soviet schools and orphanages.
  This paper describes the situation of Polish orphanages in the USSR, especially in the Siberian region
  of the USSR and Kazakhstan. These educational care centers received aid from the Embassy of the Republic of
  Poland, located in Kuybyshev (Samara). However, they were also supported in the USSR by the Soviet authorities
  and Union of Polish Patriots (1943–1946), who helped Polish orphans. One such children’s home is the orphanage
  in Mala Minusa in Krasnoyarsk Krai. Thanks to its authorities, the Polish inmates of the orphanage, who broke
  away from their motherland during wartime to return there only after the end of the war, have not been forgotten.
