Bakaniuk [baˈkaɲuk] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Raczki, within Suwałki County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1]
History
[edit]Following the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1944. Afterwards, it was restored to Poland, although with a Soviet-installed communist regime, which stayed in power until the Fall of Communism in the 1980s. The Polish anti-communist resistance was active in Bakaniuk, and in 1945 it raided a local communist police station.[2]
