In 1939, Germany attacked Poland from the West and the Soviet Union from the East. During the occupation, the Soviet authorities forced hundreds of thousands of Poles to migrate deeper into Soviet territory, including Siberia. At least 5,000 Polish citizens had then fled the country and sought refuge in Kolhapur. They stayed in Valiwade village near Kolhapur city for many years, where a little Poland of sorts came up, equipped with a school, a hospital and even a fire brigade.
