Abstract
A specific group among the post-1989 immigrants to Poland are people of Polish descent from the former Soviet Union ("ethnic migration"). Only this group was actively recruited - irrespective of labor market needs - by the Polish authorities.
Only this grouip (except for refugees) was helped by integration programs and is still officially preferred. In my chapter, I deal with the "ethnic migrants" and in particular with the process of "becoming a Pole" in post-Soviet societies, especially Belarus.
