"In the press I talk as a Muslim, having 13 generations of ancestors, who, although Muslims, considered themselves Poles and were considered Polish citizens. I am very happy that on this day, on behalf of my fellow believers of Polish nationality, I can want the Egyptian people the most sincere wishes - an interview in "La Liberte" by Olgard Najman Kryczyński, a typical of the Tatar number in the Second Republic, sent in 1925 by the Government of the Second Republic of Poland, at the global Geographical legislature in Cairo. His task was primarily to establish relations with Egyptian Muslims and gain them for Poland. (Andrzej Borawski and Aleksander Dubinski, Polish Tatars. Acts, rites, legends, traditions).
And what did the Ukrainian number of the Second Republic of Poland do in 1925? It prepared an armed uprising which did not break out due to the vigilance of the Polish authorities.
In Lutsk, a trial against 151 Ukrainian communists ended in 1927. Police authorities in Lutsk in November 1924 learned that the town of Sucha Wola was visited by the Bolshevik chief of diversion bands in Poland, Grossmann a.k.a. Simionou, a hebrew from Slavuta, and held a conference with Members of the Second Parliament of the Republic of Poland, Pristupa and Paszczuk, recommending them to establish a territory communist organization committee in Sucha Wola and Dubna.
In the area of Volyn, the alleged sots and curings were created, alongside the staff. Ukrainian gangs made 10 robberies, including 2 robbery murders, 8 arsons, 13 alleged police seizures. Members of Pristup and Paszczuk made excellent material interests, sold revolvers from robberies made by members of the same organization, took receipts from conspirators for larger sums than they paid. Mr Paszczuk, as head of the political part, joined the establishment of a permanent future Bolshevik administration in Volyn, appointing district, police, Magistrates, etc. (Henryk Glass, Combating Bolshevikism, 1927)
"Kryczyński held respective meetings with many personalities of the Egyptian government, science, press and clergy. He even received a advanced Egyptian designation, the order of the Nile. Kryczyński gave an interesting speech in full in the press, which ended with words: If the Egyptian people wanted to have a peculiar sympathy for Poland, due to the fact that we have a crucial number of Muslim people who enjoy all civilian and political rights, I would be very happy to fulfil my mission.
Egyptian intelligence, intrigued the acceptance by Muslims of Polish European culture, while preserving ancestral religions. For this reason Kryczyński was asked for literature and information about the Tatar population of the Republic. It was thought that any experiences of our Muslims could aid with the Europeanisation of Egypt.
The enthusiastic reception cooked by Kryczyński over the Nile led him to travel in the mediate East. In little than 2 months he visited Jerusalem, Damascus, Beirut, Aleppo, Ankara, Istanbul. During his travels Kryczyński not only visited many Muslim sanctuaries and became acquainted with the spiritual life of local societies, but besides established valuable contacts with local personalities. These cognition has helped to renew and deepen the ties of Polish Tatars to the Muslim East". (Andrzej Borawski and Aleksander Dubinski, Polish Tatars. Acts, rites, legends, traditions).
Awarded the Golden Cross of Merit in 1938. During planet War II he stayed in Vilnius. 15.01.1941 arrested by the NKVD and held in Łukiszki. After the outbreak of the German-Soviet war, they were taken inside the russian Union, to a prison in Gorki. By decision of the NKVD peculiar Court shot on 2 June 1942. Rehabilitated posthumously on 24.12.1989.
His brother Leon was murdered by the Germans. After Gdynia was captured by German troops Leon Kryczyński as a alleged hostage, he was arrested with a group of Polish intelligence. erstwhile he was released, despite warnings, he did not intend to hide. As an crucial authoritative and lawyer, he wanted to be useful to the people of Gdynia and decently represent the Polish state. He did not know about the action prepared by the occupier to execution the elite of Polish society, politicians, intelligence and officials (Action AB). He could have saved his life if he had agreed to cooperate with the authorities of the 3rd Reich, preparing the establishment of cooperative troops, composed of Crimean Tatars and another russian citizens. The Germans shot Leon in October, at the latest in November 1939.
Oh, my God.
