Bug River property

property beyond the Bug Rver) is a property which was within the territory of interbellum Poland (Second Polish Republic) and was forcibly vacated by the evicted Polish landowners (Bug River Poles) after 1945 when the territory ceased to be inside Poland.

The name refers to the Bug River because the Bug forms a major part of the new eastern boundary of Poland largely based on the Curzon Line, separating the so-called Eastern Borderlands from the rest of the current Polish territory.

The Bug River land is today distributed between the states of Belarus, Lithuania, and Ukraine.

The laws of Communist Poland had a limited number of provisions concerning issues related to ownership of agricultural land and estates.

[1] In modern Poland, a legislative provision was made on December 12, 2003, to form the basis of state compensation for Polish citizens against the value of their vacated property abroad, by offsetting the value of that vacated property, against an assessed sale price or rent arising from perpetual use.
