Sosnovka (Russian: Сосновка) is a rural locality (a settlement) in Pinezhsky District, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.
Sosnovka is located 128 km southeast of Karpogory (the district's administrative centre) by road.
[3] The arrest of Polish citizens by the Red Army took place on February 10, 1940, following the joint invasion by Germany (on September 1, 1939) and the Soviet Union (on September 17, 1939), which was agreed upon between Hitler and Stalin as part of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact.
Between February 1940 and the second half of 1941, a camp was located in the village for Polish people who had been forcibly deported in cattle cars with their entire families to Siberia, including to this particular location.
Those who survived were mostly released in the second half of 1942 (following the 1941 Majski-Sikorski Agreement) and had to fend for themselves.
