‘Without the Right of Return’ is a reportage prepared especially for the “World of Sibir” portal by Agnieszka Czarkowska and Alicja Pietruczuk from the Reportage and Documentary Studio of the Polish Radio Białystok. The story of the pacification of small gentry settlements in the eastern lands of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the deportation of several thousand of their inhabitants to Siberia, presented in the programme, is little known. Only the descendants of the participants of these events, which took place during the January Uprising, keep the memory alive. In addition to them, historians: Professor Wiesław Caban of Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce and Tomasz Danilecki (PhD) of the Sybir Memorial Museum in Białystok also participated in the programme. The reportage was premiered on 26 January 2025 on Polish Radio Białystok.
