January Uprising 1863–1864 – a national uprising against Russia lasting from 22 January 1863 to the mediate of 1864.
During the uprising, they were fought in the Kingdom of Poland, as well as in Lithuania, Belarus and parts of Ukraine.
Over the course of a year and a half, any 1,200 battles were fought, which, despite temporary successes, could not liberate a part of territory due to the many and armed advantage of the enemy. In total, about 200,000 people passed through the insurgent ranks.
According to estimates, nearly 30,000 of its participants were killed in the uprising, more than 7,000 were captured. Nearly 670 people were executed for participating in the uprising according to incomplete data and more than 38 1000 were sent to Siberia (including about 10% per catorgy). respective 1000 people were forced into the Russian army. In the Kingdom of Poland, the nobility, which was proven to be active in the uprising, confiscated over 1,600 estates, the contributions imposed reached 20 million rubles. Gradually, the remaining autonomy of the Kingdom of Poland (among others, almost completely redeployed education), which the Russian authorities began to call the Nadwiślany Country, was removed.
In Lithuania, where russification was peculiarly strong, the contributions amounted to 14 million rubles, the confiscations included about 1,800 land assets, which were then transferred mainly to the Russians. People considered to be “politically uncertain” were forced to sale land at low prices, while denying Poles the right to acquisition land. This resulted in the transition in respective years to Russian hands of over 800 belonging to Poles of land estates. The remainder were subject to a fixed contribution of 10% (since 1869 – 5%) of their yearly income.
The January Uprising was the longest lasting Polish uprising.
In the ranks of January insurgents there were besides residents of the village from the area of the present commune of Zgierz.
Three January insurgents were buried in the area of the municipality of Zgierz, in Biała – in the church area, for the chancel of the church. The identity of those buried in the church quarters is unknown, most likely were participants of the conflict of Good (24 February 1863). Let's remember their heroic struggles for independence.
