Antoni Pająk

Antoni Pająk (Polish pronunciation: [anˈtɔɲi ˈpajɔŋk]; 31 July 1893, Bestwina - 25 November 1965, London) was a Polish socialist (member of the Polish Socialist Party) politician, who served as 39th Prime Minister of Poland and 9th Prime Minister in exile for nearly ten years (1955-1965).

In later years (1918-1919) he served in new Polish Armed Forces, created after independence.

In 1940 he was arrested by Soviets and imprisoned in a labour camp in Siberia.

After reestablishment of Polish-Soviet relations following Germany's attack on USSR, he was released and became diplomatic representative of the exile government in Sakha Republic.

He was expelled in 1942 and was transported to Iran, where he was (1943-1945) a representative to Polish Armed Forces in exile.
