This article analyzed the political viewpoints of Poles who were forcibly relocated to Soviet Kazakhstan, expressing dissatisfaction with the Soviet government, communism, and the socio-economic situation in the country. It examined how these inhabitants of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth adapted to the Soviet system, including their experiences in factories, collective and state farms. The article also discussed their relations with the Soviet authorities, as well as the origins of their anti-Soviet views, which were often caused by socio-economic difficulties and repressive measures by the Soviet government. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the information about the contributions of special settlers who were forcibly relocated to Soviet Kazakhstan during World War II, as well as the reasons for their negative attitude towards the Soviet government and the repressions that were carried out against individual Polish citizens by the Soviet authorities. In order to achieve this goal, a combination of source analysis of archival documents, comparative historical methods, and synthesis techniques has been used. Drawing attention to the reports of Soviet leaders, it can be concluded that the open resistance of the Polish population to the authorities, their close relations with the embassy of the Republic of Poland in order to renounce Soviet citizenship and acquire Polish citizenship, as well as their refusal to perform community service are clear indications that the inhabitants of this former Polish Republic were agitated and chose this form of resistance against the Soviet government.
