(in the vicinity)
On November 19, 1944, the following were murdered by the UPA: Franciszek Borgosza, Jan Maciejowski, Mieczysław Radwański, Aniela Radwańska, Stefania Wiśniowska, women were residents of Seredni and men were officers of MO. Janina Dąbek reports that „three Poles died after the end of the war”: Aniela Radwańska, her son Mieczysław and Stefania Wiśniewska. They went in search of stolen cows, but to no avail. Returning to Seredni Mały, while crossing the San they were ambushed by the UPA. The bodies of the women have not been found. Only Helena Skowrońska, wounded in the hand, was saved. Then J. Dąbek writes: „Józef Radwański, who lives in Dwernik on the San River, was abducted with his wife and two children and hanged in the forest. Their bodies were found by mushroom pickers”. In the book by Artur Bata Bieszczady on fire on page 107 there is a copy of the document „Certificate” dated „Lesko, on June 19, 1946”, which states that a policeman from the MO post in Zatwarnica Mieczysław Radwański „was killed by the Bandera followers on 19A.11.1944” along with three other policemen in an ambush on the road between Procisno and Dwernik. There is no mention of civilian casualties.
