caption_attribution_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.
