Accordingly, one third of Poland's territory had been ceded to the Soviet Union, including the two most important Polish centres of culture outside Warsaw and Kraków, that were the cities of Lwow and Wilno. It was as a consequence of this, that historically many original contributors to the paper were Kresovians, as were their readers.
Because of this territorial transfer, one-third of Poland's land was given to the Soviet Union, including two important Polish cities outside Warsaw and Kraków: Lwow and Wilno. This resulted in a historical connection between Kresovians and the paper, as they were both contributors and readers.
