there was no education in Polish language[edit]

My understanding was the Roman Catholic church would teach Polish language to children at that time, people would go to the priest to read letters from America and he would write letters to America for the illiterate. Back in 1964 as a boy I spoke to an old woman who lived in Russian Poland, she claimed that the street signs were in Russian and that Polish was forbidden in public.--Woogie10w (talk) 14:33, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Russification#Poland_and_Lithuania. I think it varied through time, with liberal periods were teaching in Polish might have been allowed around 1815-1830s and from 1905 onwards.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:20, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Uncle Staho said that people from the old country learned to read & write Polish in Sunday school, Staho knew everything.--Woogie10w (talk) 16:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New title[edit]

I have given this article a new grammatically correct title, because the noun Partition is denoting a place... the real subject here, and "the Russian" serves only as an adjective 'describing' word Partition as one of three sectors of partitioned Poland. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 20:23, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

when to when[edit]

I would be helpful if the lead paragraph clearly stated the beginning date/year of Russian Partition and the ending date/year. Hmains (talk) 03:16, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Poeticbent talk 15:31, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Society in Russian partition[edit]

To spend 10 out of (only) 30 lines for a detailed description of russian army brothels seems somewhat exaggerated. A misbalance, isn't it ? --129.187.244.19 (talk) 10:56, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
