Otrocz [ˈɔtrɔt͡ʂ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Chrzanów, within Janów Lubelski County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.

Olga sent her squad to these places, led by her beloved youth (rus: "отрок" - Otrok), from where the name of the village came from.

Many residents of Otroch hid at home and in the forests the soldiers of the Red Army who had fled from German captivity.

After the end of the Second World War, the inhabitants of the village of Otroch did not want to remain part of Poland, as the Polish authorities began to intensively Polonize the population.

The inhabitants of Otroch turned to the Soviet Government with a request to provide them with a new place for settlement on the territory of the USSR.
