    In 1795 he said: "I will speak no more of the former Poland and the Poles. That country and that name are no more, as with so many others it has perished in the world's history. I am now a Russian forever. (...)"

    Before that, in 1792, he said: "Each true Pole, not blinded by the Prussian and royalist cabal, is convinced, that our Fatherland can only be saved by Russia, otherwise our nation will be enslaved".



    Poles were the main Roman Catholic group in Volhynia. There were also some Czechs.

    If you know which town(s) or village(s) in Volhynia they were from, this can also be helpful for establishing their ethnicity, considering that many settlements were dominated by just one ethnic group.
