Vistula Land

Vistula Land or Vistula Country (Russian: Привислинский Край, Privislinsky Krai; Polish: Kraj Nadwiślański) was the name applied to the lands of the Kingdom of Poland following the defeats of the November Uprising (1830–31) and January Uprising (1863-1864) as it was increasingly stripped of autonomy and incorporated into Imperial Russia. It also continued to be informally known as Russian Poland or the Russian partition.

    Ah! never shall the land forget
    How gushed the life-blood of her brave—

    Upon the soil they fought to save.
