In addition to military and government personnel, other Polish citizens suffered from repressions. Thousands of Polish intelligentsia were also imprisoned, arrested for allegedly being "intelligence agents, gendarmes, landowners, saboteurs, factory owners, lawyers, officials and priests."[3] Since Poland's conscription system required every unexempted university graduate to become a reserve officer,[19] the NKVD was able to round up much of the Polish intelligentsia.[f] According to estimates by IPN, roughly 320,000 Polish citizens were deported to the Soviet Union (this figure is questioned by some other historians, standing by the older estimate of about 700,000-1,000,000).[20][21][22] IPN estimates the number of Polish citizens that perished under the Soviet rule during World War II at 150,000 (correcting older estimates of up to 500,000).[20][21][22] Of the one group of 12,000 Poles sent to Dalstroy camp (near Kolyma) in 1940-1941, most POWs, only 583 men survived, released in 1942 to join the Polish Armed Forces in the East.[23] According to Tadeusz Piotrowski, "...during the war and after 1944, 570,387 Polish citizens had been subjected to some form of Soviet repression."[24]
