Lesko uprising information


The Lesko uprising (Polish: Powstanie leskie) was an uprising of Rusyn peasants in the Bieszczady Mountains in June and July 1932 against the local authorities of the Second Polish Republic. The impoverished peasants mistook the government introduction of public works aimed at stemming the Great Crisis as an attempt to reintroduce serfdom.

The first clashes occurred on June 21. For a few weeks, thousands of people became involved across the Bieszczady region (primarily around the town of Lesko), as Polish police and soldiers put down the unrest.

The uprising ended on 9 July after about a dozen people had been killed, many wounded and a few hundred arrested.
