Polish border guard (K.O.P.) barracks, c. 1925. These barracks were built in a transitional style between art nouveau/neo-Baroque and the functionalism which characterized Polish public-sector architecture starting in the late 1920s. The border between the Second Polish Republic and the Soviet Union, established by the Treaty of Riga in 1921, incorporated the western Belarusian lands into Poland and left the eastern Belarusian lands under Bolshevik/Soviet occupation. Running less than 9 miles (15 kilometers) to the east of Kljetsk, the border lasted until the Soviet Union, working in concert with Nazi Germany, invaded and occupied Poland’s eastern borderlands (including the western Belarusian lands) from the east on September 17, 1939.
