Summary

Description	English: Municipalities in Poland deprived of town privileges. This could have happened to small towns, where actualy most of dwellers where peasants. After January Uprising, Russian government deprived many towns of their rights, as a punishment. Some towns were incorporated into other cities. It could have happened that after WWII, some towns, that had for example 10,000 dwellers (before war), lost some 80% of them, and became too small, thus losing their town functions. Changing town into village was decided very rare after 1940s, and last happened in 1973. Most of these changes happened in 19th century, and geographical distribution shows that most towns lost their privileges in part of Poland that was within the borders of the Russian Empire. Français : Communes de Pologne ayant perdu leur statut de ville. Beaucoup d'entre elles ont perdu ce statut suite à l'Insurrection de 1861/1864, en guise de punition. D'autres ont perdu leur statut par la suite à cause d'une population trop basse. En conséquence ce type de commune est surtout présent dans les parts du pays qui faisaient partie de l'empire russe. Polski: Miejscowości w Polsce pozbawione praw miejskich.
