Sybirak

Farewell to Europe, by Aleksander Sochaczewski.

A sybirak (Polish: [sɨˈbirak], plural: sybiracy) is a person resettled to Siberia.[1] Like its Russian counterpart sibiryák the word can refer to any dweller of Siberia, but it more specifically refers to Poles imprisoned or exiled to Siberia[2][need quotation to verify] or even to those sent to the Russian Arctic or to Kazakhstan[3] in the 1940s.

Nazwa Sybiracy ma swój inny wymiar także dlatego, iż spora część zesłańców trafiła w inne rejony Rosji, które w żaden sposób Syberią nazwać nie można, np. do Kazachstanu. [...] The name "Sybiracy" has also it's different dimension because a considerable number of deportees landed in different parts of Russia, which in no way can be named "Siberia", for example in Kazakhstan.
