Have just discovered from opral history that my great grandmother brothers family was deported to Siberia for religious reasons

?

The only religious repressions and deportation on religious grounds in the southern Podlasie region was that of the Unici

?

The sisterinlaw and 2 sons reappeared in Komarowka Podlaska in early 1920s

?

Yet the tsars degree for religious freedom was in 1905

?

So I have a series of questions

?

1???????????????????? if tsars decree was in 1905 – how long would it be before it got to the depths of Siberia

2???????????????????? when was the telegraph introduced to Russia

3???????????????????? how long would it take for deportees to travel back to southern Podlasie –

4???????????????????? does any pne know to what year there were deportations of the unici – I know the major repressions in the southern Podlasie were in the 1870s 0 but my great great uncle attended my great grandparents wedding in 1887
