Former Polish territories annexed by the Soviet Union in 1939
Poland was annexed and partitioned by Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939. On the pre-war Polish territory annexed by Soviets (Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and Lithuania) the first Soviet partisan groups were formed in 1941, soon after the German’s invasion of the Soviet Union. Initially the Soviet partisan groups were formed primarily in the areas of Nowogródek (modern Navahrudak), Lida and Wilno (modern Vilnius) out of Red Army solders who evaded capture by the advancing German forces. Lacking support of the local population, the Soviet partisan groups retreated to various large forest complexes in the area, where they hid from the German rear and anti-partisan units.
Initially, until early 1943, the Soviet partisans focused primarily on survival deep behind enemy lines, with their activity limited mostly to sabotage and diversion rather than armed struggle against German forces and Lithuanian collaborationist police. During that period various Soviet partisan groups also collaborated with the local Polish resistance of ZWZ-AK. However, as the eastern front was nearing the area, the collaboration came to an end and the Soviet partisans started an open fight both against the German forces and the local Polish partisans. Frequent requisitions of food in local villages and brutal reprisal actions against villages considered disloyal to the Soviet Union sparked creation of numerous self-defence units, often joining the ranks of the Armia Krajowa. Similar assaults on the Polish resistance organizations took place also in the Ukraine. The struggle continued until the arrival of the Red Army in 1944.
