Annotation	The issues of participation of the Polish political exiles in economic and cultural life of Transbaikalia in the second half of the 19th century did not find the reflection in domestic and foreign scientific literature. Up to now there has been only a general conception of ample activities of the Poles. The author relying on a wide range of sources characterizes economic activity of the Polish exiles in Chita in the 60s and 70s of the 19th century. Archive documents of the regional archives and written memoirs of the Polish exiles served as the major source of this research. The bigger part of the documents is first introduced for the scientific use. The Poles who settled down in the region applied their knowledge and skills in many areas of economy of Transbaikalia. The Polish exiles used to work mainly in blacksmith’s, metalworker’s, joiner’s, confectionery, and soap manufacture. The local merchants willingly used to employ the Polish exiles for the trading and gold-mining companies. The Polish political convicts who were exiled to Transbaikalia in the second half of the 19th century made a great contribution to the development of the economy of the region. That is confirmed by a multitude of archival materials. Thanks to the Polish exiles, the new for the region of Transbaikalia fields of industry and service sphere, such as candy manufacture and hotel service were actively developed.
Key words	Polish political exiles, economic activity, Transbaikal region, Chita, political exile, gold mining
