At the beginning a famous 

Michno KonstantynowiczMiknos Konstantinoviciaus 

received the big estate, an arable ground and forested land from the king Sigismund Augustus on  

04 January 1554  

the farmland was in the Merkine = Merecz area (the Troki district), beside the Niemen river (Neman or Nemunas) by the Merkys = Mereczanka river, and the same (as early as 1552   in the Troki district, too)  possessed a property  

Zaleskowszczyzna 

near by the rivers Solcza (or Salcia) and Wisincza (= Wisincia) - 49 km on N-W-N of Lida - south of the Merkys river.  

Next  

Mikolay Pohosha Konstantynowicz has got a privilege handed over to him by the king Vladislav IV Vasa on  

07 March 1643 

and Bonifacy 1st Konstantynowicz derived from named Mikolay. 

The Mscislau branch 

come from Dominik and his brothers; my family from the Mscislau area derived from - according to the oral tale - a region by Mereczanka river (= Merkys river), then from  Michno Konstantynowicz / Miknos Konstantinoviciaus with the Fox proper coat of arms, where the same possessed forest (1554) and the property of Zaleskowszczyzna (1552)  but we weren't told that the Konstantynowicz family derived from Toloczki; the same Michno = Miknos Konstantinoviciaus was put down in judicial documents of  the Troki  district in 1552. I don't know doubtless if Michno = Miknos Konstantinoviciaus was from the Czyz family as Leszczyc suggested in 1908 and  whether he was born c.  1530  near to   Lida or  near to Hrodna? Searching for evidences last at present. I don't know surely if  Michno was stripped of the assets by his sister in 1547. All proofs show  the  Troki district by the Mereczanka river as the nest of our beginning and never point to the Hrodna district.   

All descendants with the Fox proper coat of arms only (and probably with Bowel(s), Three Crosses and Radwan armorial bearings, too) and with our Konstantynowicz surname come from the above Michno Konstantynowicz / Miknos Konstantinoviciaus and out of THE BUDSLAU BRANCH, maybe THE HRODNA BRANCHES, THE BRANCH OF THE IRKUTSK GOVERNMENT, from THE MINSK GOVERNMENT BRANCHES, THE MSCISLAU BRANCH, THE KAUNAS BRANCHES, VOLHYNIA branches (e.g. Oknin Wielki or Okniny, Okniki, Oleniny near by Horynia river and close to small villages: Kwarczowka, Horynka, Kuszlin, Podhajczyki, Jankowce, Kadzajowka, Wierzbica, Maniow, Kotiuzynce, Chwedkowce, Czajczynce and others, in 1876) and also THE KAZLOUSCYNA BRANCH.

The Konstantynowicz family from eastern Belarus (Antoni Konstantynowicz was born c. 1833; Mscislau, Samava and near to Krycau) is my lineage.  

1772 

this territory was already in Russia, as the Government of Mahileu after the 1st Partition of POLAND, I am afraid.

They partly have moved out to the easternmost parts of the MINSK government to the Berezino parish after circa

1840 or 1842

id est in the villages BOROVINA and MIEZONKA (the village is situated 28 kilometres south - east of Berazino = Beresino, Berezino, Byerazino, Berezyna or Berezina). You see the beautifuly website with pics at the address

New information


The essence of my genealogy 

Among relatives and next of kins of our Mscislau branch appeared the Zarako Zarakowski family in the second half of 19th cent. and in the 20th cent.; the Spychalski family from Lodz was related to kinsmen of our lineage at the turn of the 20th century and in the middle of the 20th cent.; the  Jaroszewicz  family had connection to our line in the middle of the 20th cent.  

(the Jaroszewicz  house derived from the Vicebsk province and had Prus the 1st arms, they possessed here the Ostupiszcze estate from Gruzewski family since 1710 to the end of the 18th cent.; Jerzy Piotr Jaroszewicz with Kwaczynski nickname was an officer here in 1713 - 1714 and somebody here in 1716; related to Kownacki, Rymaczewski and Kopakowski according to Jan Ciechanowicz, vol. 3; among others several of the Jaroszewiczs died in Old Bychow in 1655; priest Manuel Jaroszewicz in Sluck A.D. 1666, Roman Jaroszewicz in Mahileu in 1682, and Jan Jaroszewicz in Vilna 1720 - 1722, another Jan Jaroszewicz  and also his son Jan lived in Szaule near by Mejszagola in 1753, Ludwik Jaroszewicz lived in the Mscislau province in 1764; the Jaroszewiczs  were related to Jankowski, Olszewski and Chodasiewicz families in the Dzisna district and also they served Radzivill family in  the  Minsk government at the turn of the 20th cent.; Dmitrij Jaroszewicz  son of Konstantin, Russian admiral);  

the Swierczewski family was near socially associated with us, for instance in the sixtieth of the 20th  century. Some Generals, Prime Minister, the Head of State and one marshal of the communistic Poland -  the creators of the Soviet administration 1943/1990 - derived from these families.  

Relatives of our Konstantynowicz branch kept in touch with Jozef Pilsudski (military Intelligence of Austria -  Hungary),  Michal Zymierski (Soviet military Intelligence) and  Wladyslaw  Sikorski  (?) at the  moment in the first  half  of  the 20th century  - marshals and  General with  different  political  views. It wonder  that three Marshals and  General -  military prosecutor died with  natural death but three  remaining Generals died with  tragic one.  Generals of  communistic People Polish Army:  Karol  Swierczewski, Piotr Jaroszewicz  and Marian Spychalski  (later on the Marshal) in the fourties of the 20th century  were deputies of Michal Zymierski  -  Marshal and communistic Minister of  Defense. The genealogy of  my Mscislau "inlet" of the Konstantynowicz  ancestry point out long and strong   connections with the Imperial Russian Army  and Russian military  intelligence since the seventies of the nineteenth  century and especial at the turn of   the 20th century since when they served in  tsarist Georgia. It was the tsarist military technology intelligence at the  beginning of the 20th century. This  connections fade away probably at the end of  the 20th century. Anyway it relate to Poland only, and not to our easterly  neighbours, e.g.  Russia and  Belarus.  This is exciting subject for our family and to historians for the sake of connections with a couple of intelligences,  and  also it's the example of  a  genealogical tree on which based the important military structure of communist Poland for 50 years. Very broad, general  information on these reciprocal  connections was published for the first time in 2003 at my websites after researches ongoing 10 years and it was possible  just after complete destruction  of  previous political system. Particular families of our ancestry didn't know mutually  each other  and they didn't know   general image of this military  genealogy up to 1995 (in piece) / 2003 (better in detail). This strange configuration in the genealogy and surprising family  relationships give evidence to  military service of  somebody from our Konstantynowicz family in Soviet Union.

Stanislav served in Russian Army since August 20th, 1914, but according to Jozef Mackiewicz (vol. 1, p. 131 - 136) he deserted employment in the Dzisna (= Disna) district in 1915, i.e. military service in the "Punin Unit" near by Riga since September 05th, 1915. That was scouting troop. He had obtained promotion after March 1917; served also under command of Bolsheviks since November 1917, e.g. fightings with Germans by the Lake Pejpus (= Peipus) near by Smolowa (= Smolva) on March 05th, 1918,  where Stanislav was wounded and next transferred to Luga near by Petrograd (135 Km south of Petrograd); he was loyal towards Bolsheviks.  In the middle of December 1917, Stanislaw Bulak - Balachowicz (i.e. Stanislaus Bulak-Balachowicz) had contacted his brother Jozef Balachowicz in Petrograd, and again in April 1918 (Petrograd, at military hospital, here also was Jerzy Dabrovski or Dambrowski). Stanislaw Balachowicz next, in April  1918, received assent at Bolshevik's hands in Moscow for forming of Polish cavalry regiment; he was General then, with support of count de  Lubersac from the French Mission.  

Stanislaw and also Jozef Balachowicz fought against baron Korf near by Luga (131 Km NE of Pskow) in May 1918; in this regiment served:  Bohdan  and Jerzy Dabrowski (Jerzy Dabrowski was friend of Stanislaw Balachowicz and his wife Zinajda - after 1935 she lived in Wilno), Chodorowicz,   WolkowieckiSzumski (= Shumskij), Wawrzynski, Safaryn, Poljan, Michulski, Michalowski, Kozlowski, Karlowicz (related to Gen. Stanislaw Bulak   Balachowicz). 

Stanislaw and Jozef Balachowicz's regiment had thrown off superiority of Bolsheviks at the  end of May 1918 and moved  on Pskov (= Pskow).  Balachowicz brothers had fought with Bolsheviks near by Pskov for  June  -   till October 1918.

Military service in  the 7th  Reval infantry  regiment since April 1916, and next, since May 1916, he served with his brother in a special unit (sabotage beyond German  front near by Riga) of the  Russian North Front under command of Punin; wounded on January 13th, 1917 and promoted captain. Jozef   Balachowicz  had withdrawn from  Russian Army near by Riga on October 12th, 1917 and next served in Polish troops of the 1st Polish Corps in  Pskov (under command of Gen.  Dowbor  Musnicki and collaborated with Gen. Jacyna from Petrograd, October / November 1917). Jozef Balachowicz was  transfered  to Petrograd in the  middle of  November 1917, keep on within the 1st  Polish Corps. His son, Zdzislaw Bulak -  Balachowicz, b. 1915 or 1918 and died in 1944; was lieutenant of Polish Army in the  77th  infantry regiment in the Navahrudak  province.  Jozef maybe had gotten married in Petrograd 1918, and also met brother in  Petrograd in December 1917.  

Jozef Balachowicz served in Petrograd in a Polish cavalry troop under command of Przysiecki and was disarmed by Bolsheviks in December 1917. All details are lacking about  Jozef  Balachowicz since January 1918 until the beginning of May 1918, probably in Petrograd (?); after in Luga, in May 1918. 

May 1918: both of brothers served in Luga in own unit and revolted against Bolsheviks in the same month.

The Balachowicz's regiment fell back over axle Izborsk - Pieczery (= Petschory, 41 Km west of Pskow i.e. Pskov); Courland was destination. The regiment got in touch with Gen. Wandam in the first half of November 1918 and was disarming Germans, that went back to home. The Balachowiczs conformed to the Estonian Army of Gen. Laidoner in the middle of November 1918 until March 01st, 1919, near by Dorpat (i.e. Tartu or Juriew); fightings broke out again with Bolsheviks close to Dorpat in January 1919, too. The Balachowicz's group conformed to white Gen. Rodzianko on March 02nd, 1919 (in the Army of Gen. Yudenich). Jozef Balachowicz was appointed to Russian colonel in March 1919. Fightings with Bolsheviks again since May 1919, and Stanislav Balachowicz conquered the Gdow (103 Km north of Pskow) station during  offensive of Gen. Yudenich for Petrograd on May 13th, 1919; after conquered Pskov (= Pskow) on May 29th, 1919; the Balachowicz's group  administered Pskov since June till August 1919 (until August 23rd); after had clashed with Gen. Yudenich  and proceeded in guerrilla  war  against all: "reds" and "whites", near by Pskov - Werro (Voru probably, 36 Km west of Petschory) - by Velikaja river (here in September and  October  1919 together with Estonian Army); they served again Estonia in October 1919 (the 32nd Division) until February 02nd, 1920

Stanislaw Balachowicz at the same time conducted talks with a Byelorussian administration in Riga, and also with Polish agency (captain  Myszkowski). The Balachowicz's  group in the middle of February 1920 threaded its way through Estonia (from Reval i.e.  Tallinn,  Rewel) and Latvia, to Dyneburg (= Dzvinsk or  Daugavpils) on circa February 20th, 1920 and they made oath of  fidelity to Polish Army, however just on March 02nd, 1920 the Balachowicz's  group had gone on to Polish units in  Daugavpils; they came to a halt in Brest in March 1920. The Balachowicz's Corps (group) fought against Bolsheviks at east Polish  front since June 1920; went back through Luninec, Brest and Leczna (together with the Orenburg Cossacks under command of Jakovlev - here since August 09th, 1920 till August 16th, 1920); after they liberated Wlodawa on August 17th, 1920 and Kamin - Kasyrs'kyj on September 15th, 1920; Pinsk on September 16th, 1920; Derevok and Ljubesh (= Lubieszow) on September 22nd, 1920 and again near by Pinsk on September 26th. The rest in  Luninec since September 30th and change of name on "People's Voluntary Allied Army" of Major-General Stanislaw  Bulak -  Balachowicz: colonel Mikosz commanded the "Minsk regiment", aide of Corps: Grotkowski, cavalry of captain Saradin,  lieutenant  Lis -  Blonski as  messenger, colonels: Pawlowski, Matwiejew, Zgun (i.e. Shgun), Peremykin, "the Spark" and captain Wojciechowski

The Balachowicz's Corps (about 15.000 strong) had struck upon Bolsheviks on November 04th, 1920, near by Turau (= Turow); achieved  Mosiejewicze on November 07th, 1920, made Petrikow on November 08th; Romanowka, Skryhalow, Kopatkowo, Zechowicze (Shehovichi),  Kostiuchowicze on November 09th; on November 10th were occupied: Chomiczki and Prudok, won a battle near by Drozdy and conquered Mazyr (= Mosyr or Mozyrz) and Wielkie Zimowiszcze (Big Zimowishche), also penetrated to Kalinkavicy (= Kalinkowitschi). Captain Wojciechowski  filled Michalki - 16 Km south of Mazyr (= Mosyr) on November 11th, 1920. The following day Gen. Stanislav Bulak - Balachowicz, in Mazyr, proclaimed independence of Belarus and also appointed himself to "Commander - in - chief of Byelorussian Army". His brother Jozef Balachowicz was appointed as "Commandant of Voluntary Army". "Minsk" and "Ostrov" (the name from Ostrov i.e. Ostrow is situated south of  Pskow)  regiments repeatedly collected Kalinkavicy (fightings for five days) on November 14th, 1920, and next (November 15th) Gen. Balachowicz  moved on to Zlobin (40 Km), where had gotten on November 17th. Colonel "Iskra" (= "The Spark") got Lelczyce on November 11th, and after  (November 14th) he moved on toward Owrucz (70 Km;  north Ukraine now) - here they penetrated on November 17th. At the same time colonel  Matwiejew conquered: Wielkie Awtiucewicze (= Big Avtiucevichi) and Chabno (30 Km east of Mazyr; November 15th), also Makanowicze (43 Km NE of  Mazyr; November 16th), Babylew, Korystan (about 60 Km east of Mazyr; November 17th). 

Gen. Balachowicz established (November 16th) administration of Byelorussian People's Republic; amongst others: Gen. doc. Mieczyslaw  Adamowicz - Prime Minister, P. Aleksiuk, Prof. Ostrowski Radoslaw (he acted also in Minsk in 1943), colonel Bielajew and Jozef  Sienkiewicz. But nevertheless Petlura at the same time (November 17th) finished fightings against Bolsheviks; yet colonel Mikosz was getting 40 Km on NE of Kalinkavicy (November 17th), colonel "the Spark" came up Owrucz (= Owrutsch), too; colonel Matwiejew conquered Korystan. By  night 17/18 November, Gen. Stanislav Bulak - Balachowicz left Mosyr and was on his way to Recyca (= Retschiza), where colonel Matwiejew  penetrated on November 18th, 1920; but yet colonel "the Spark" near by Owrutsch had suffered defeat. So, Gen. Balachowicz close to  Retschiza directed concentration his troops on November 19th, and all day long November 20th he fought near by Retschiza. And  this  instant information came in about "catastrophe in the south". Colonel Matwiejew (on November 20th) retreated from Retschiza for Mosyr;  colonel  Pawlowski and next Gen. Balachowicz retreated, too (he next came away to the west from under Mosyr, but just after November 25th, 1920). 

Far away from Belarus north - west, Lithuania concluded a truce with Poland (November 21st/29th). In Belarus at the same time lasted defence of  Mosyr (21 - 23 November) but Jozef Balachowicz went away from the town on November 22nd; and Gen. Stanislaw Bulak - Balachowicz and colonel  Matwiejew also left Mosyr on November 23rd, and next came away to the west, but just after November 25th, 1920

The Balachowicz's Corps passed by Olszany and Remel by south bank of Pripjat (= Pryp'jat) on Polish side: on November 26th ("Tula" and  "Putwal"  regiments with Jozef Balachowicz); on November 26th - 28th: soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Byelorussian Divisions passed to Poland; by night  27/28 November - Gen. Stanislaw Balachowicz went on to Poland (with his aides: painter Artur Szyk i.e. Alexander Szykarenko, b. 1894, d. 1951 in USA, since  1921 lived in Lodz, and also Tadeusz Darmont); on November 30th - Gen. Adamowicz; the remainder on December 02nd - 04th, 1920 (on December  04th:  unit 2100  strong from the 1st Byelorussian Division of colonel Peremykin after tough fightings on November 25th - 27th). The formal demobilization of the  Balachowicz's  Corps followed on December 03rd, 1920. And nonetheless Gen. Stanislaw Balachowicz was elected as "General Chieftain of  Belarus" in  Warsaw on December 23rd, 1920, according to Stanislav Dowoyno - Sollohub. Byelorussian soldiers were interned near by  Czestochowa in  January 1921, and from here to Szczypiorno close to Modlin, to Tuchola, Aleksandrow Kujawski, Pikulice, Dabie, Torun,  Strzalkow and Kalisz,  till August 1924. A lot of the "Balachowiczs" were employed in Hajnowka, Bialowieza and Bielsk

Kreczeuski and Zacharko had taken Byelorussian emblems and flags somewhere west. 

According to Konrad Zielinski from "Maria Curie Sklodowska University in Lublin" ("POPULATION DISPLACEMENT, CITIZENSHIP AND (...)"):  "people who voluntarily joined the foreign military service had no right for Polish citizenship. (...) Newcomers from behind the eastern Polish border were divided into two  categories. The first category consisted of Polish citizens i.e. Kingdom of Poland, who had immigrated to Russia before or during the First world war and wanted to come  back. The second category consisted of Russians and Belorussians that were also regarded as Russians. This category was divided into subcategories. The first of them  concerned people who were entitled to hold Polish citizenship and the second one concerned people who did not have the right. (...) Emigrants or refugees from Russia, when  they wanted to settle in Poland had to prove that: 1. they had enough funds to support themselves or they could count on the help of their relatives in Poland; 2. spotless moral  reputation; 3. proper attitude towards Poles during the Tsarist rule. However, Poles and people of Polish origin were preferred. Ethnic non-Poles, who had never lived in the  territory of the Kingdom of Poland, Galicia, and the Poznan province, had no right to Polish citizenship."

We lived in 

St Petersburg

- "Duflon, Konstantynowicz & Co." abbreviated as DEKA 

i.e. joint stock company from St Petersburg - and we built up the military manufactory of  aeroengines in a town Aleksandrovsk (later on named Zaporozhye = Zaporozh'e) in 1916

In search of genealogy. It is of greatest importance to me: 

I am looking for all information about my grandfather JERZY Konstantynowicz and about his Konstantynowicz family from the parish of Berazino  (either Berezino or Berezyna); he belonged to one of the old noble families from the farthest eastern reaches of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Those lands were also  the first to be taken by tsarist Russia as the result of the partitions of Poland. 

those near and dear (families at the beginning of the 20th cent.) in the Berazino parish and Dryssa ujezd and the others territories:

1. Malkiewicz (Old Svolna, Miezonka and the farm Jauji = either Jowce or Javci in LATVIA - the Ludsen = Ludza district formerly),

2. Nieciejevski (the farm Hrynica = Griniza and Usochy; the Russian and Soviet General count Bronislav Nieciejevski who was born c. 1870 in the Berazino parish was from them; either Nieciejovski or Niecijevskij and Nieciovski),

3. Uminski (Bruslevo or Bryjelov = Brialewo and Smolarnia - Florian Czarnyszewicz has written a book "Nadberezyncy" about this village), 

4. Zarako Zarakowski (the palace Holubovo, Kniazievo and the great estate Svolna / Swolna  - the Polish communistic state prosecutor, count  and Soviet General  Stanislav  Zarako  Zarakowski was born here in  1907 / 1909), 

5. Zbieranowski (Igumen, Berazino and Miezonka),

6. Szostak (Miezonka and Babrujsk = Bobruisk or Bobruysk),

7. Konstantynowicz (Miezonka, Petersburg, Svolna = Svol'na or Swolna, Krycau, Kovalki, Omsk, Borovina, Daugavpils),  

8. Pilecki;  

my grandfather was a professional soldier; he learnt in the secondary school in Mahileu by the river Dnjapro, a real school in PARNU = Pernau (Estonia present) and the Naval Corps (or at the Petrograd Naval College = the Naval War College; Course of Navigational Officers 1912 - December 1916) in St Petersburg and he first served in the Kronstadt Stronghold (the Bureau of Navy Transport - in a navigation ensign capacity 1916/1917); during the First World War he was in Tallinn (Reval) with Estonian engineer Jansen since April by June of 1917; after in Petrograd by November 1917;  

during the fighting between the "whites" and "reds" after the Bolshevik Revolution towards the end of 1917 (Minsk - here in December 1917 - and after Bychauu = Bychow) by summer  1918 my grandfather Marian or Jerzy Konstantynowicz served in secret service of the 1st Polish White Corps under General Dowbor - Musnicki (a troop under   command of engineer Wroblewski - who later worked in an armoury in Pionki in the thirties of 20th century keeping in touch with the Wankowicz family still - recognized Mahileu and Babrujsk - here the  society  announced the first Polish capital after partitions) and fought (Orsa = Orscha, Rahacou - 4th infantry regiment, 1st Division of the Polish Rifles,   Hradzianka)  against the Bolsheviks for freedom of this country; he carried out duties of courier (Minsk, Babrujsk, Barysau) for the Polish Women Rings; after in the Civil  Guard of the Minsk Government and the Government of Mahileu - then he met the Wankowicz family (quod vide Appendix D about this family) in Old Kaluzyca  /   Kaluzyn / Kaljushiza because Mr. Witold "Tolo" Wankowicz was chief the Union of Weapon in the Ihumen district (section of the Polish Military Organization) and my  grandfather was  messenger between the Luboszany estate and Kaluzyca in autumn 1918;  

he was near to General Wejtko (ensign of orderly in Minsk and Vilna 1918) in the Self-defence of Lithuania and Belarus;  

after the collapse of tsarist Russia, Poland regained its independence after 123 years of foreign rule and he was professional officer in intelligence service of Polish Army (04 December 1918 he owned document in Marian Konstantynowicz name but he wasn't this person surely) 1918 - 1947; military oath in Vilna on December 29th, 1918 during defense of the town against Soviet troops; the 77th Kovno Regiment after; he served when Poland was fighting with the Bolsheviks in defense of its independence (1919 - 1920).

The LIDA garrison (the barracks had name of Marshal Edward Rydz Smigly; the 77th Infantry Regiment handed over an estate to the marshal west of Lida near by a farmland of famous Pilecki family; in this garrison was a colonel Witold Letowt or Letovt - Vorbek, famous pioneer of the Polish aviation) by morning 18 - 09 - 1939; on September 19th, 1939 he was in Landvarov (= Lentvaris), ZAVIASY  and arrived at the Rudziszki (= Rudiskes) station and (probably) after across Orany (= Varena) station arrived in Grodno (= Hrodna) - here on September 20th and overnight 20/21  September 1939; on September 21st he gone on Lithuania (= Litauen; registered at the Vievis station); he was in camps for prisoners of war in: Palanga, Vilkaviskis, Ponoj (= Ponoi in   USSR), Archangel = Archangelsk and Viazniki = at the Wjasniki station (here in August 1941; that is the Jusha camp).  

1941 - May 1947 Army of General Anders. 1947 - 1948 emigre in ARGENTINA. I think he lived in Mexico (or New Mexico), too. I  don’t know where he died (as a matter of  fact my grandfather's name was Jerzy Konstantynowicz, son of Konstantynowicz who lived in Petersburg since 1911/1912);  he  employed a couple of fictional dates of birth, used fictional places of birth and made use of pseudonymes Stankiewicz either major Antoni  Stanislaw Stankiewicz (born 15.05.1900 and died before 1939) or Marian Konstantynowicz

Comment, references and notes on  heros - senior officers in the 1st Polish Corps in  Belarus 1917 - 1918 and about others Poles from tsarist army: 

The White Corps of  General Dowbor Musnicki (Dovbor - Mus'nicki) was composite of the Polish from Russian Army. Polish society had known in 1918 only  about nine tsarist Generals, Poles - according to Baginski: Gen. Michaelis, Dowbor Musnicki, Bylewski, Symon, Latour, Jacyna,  Lesniewski, Olszewski and Osinski. According to Olechowski, during the First world war in the tsarist Army served 800.000 Poles (20.000 officers  and 102 Generals in November 1917) but only a couple of a dozen or so had gone through to Polish Corps (the 1st, 2nd and 3rd) in 1917 - 1918. According to  Szczesny in Lithuanian Army (in 1919) as many 60 % officers came from the 1st Polish Corps, e.g. commands and orders in the Birzai regiment made in  Polish (spring 1919). According to Gen. Bylewski (data of April 01st, 1917) 119 Generals - Catholics - mainly the Polish, 20.000 offficers and 480.000 - 700.000  private soldiers served in Russian Army and besides 100.000 prisoners of war - Poles. According to Alexander Lednicki in June 1917 in Russian Army  served only 314.000 Poles, and according to Gen. Dowbor Musnicki were 300.000 the Polish.  

Polish military and civil administration subordinate to the 1st Polish Corps in Belarus under  command of Gen. Dowbor Musnicki had involved also Miezonka, Mahileu, Babrujsk, Rahacou, Asipovicy, Zlobin, Bychau, Staryja Darohi,  Ljuban,  Urecca, but didn't involve Berazino, during since the end of February 1918 until the end of  May 1918 with following  of the Germans.
