I cannot answer your question. Maybe Orest Zborowski can
give us an update on life in the Ukraine.

Not all Poles in the USSR left during the organized transfer of

survival.
Can anybody in the group offer some insight for the reasons why
some were left behind. Were they refused permission to leave by
local officials? or did they voluntarily stay in the USSR? Maybe
they were never told of the transfer option?
