Thus, in Bjelovar during the Great War died 71 members of the Russian people, principally the soldiers, prisoners. Some were later permanently inhabited, founded by his family and worked in Bjelovar longer or shorter time.
Veliki rat bio je početak naseljavanja ruskoga življa u grad Bjelovar u ratnim okolnostima, najčešće kao ratnih zarobljenika upućenih na liječenje u pozadinsku rezervnu bolnicu ili gradsku bolnicu. Tako je u Bjelovaru tijekom Velikoga rata umro 71 pripadnik ruskoga naroda, ponajvećma vojnika, zarobljenika. Neki su se kasnije za stalno nastanili, osnovali svoje obitelji i djelovali u Bjelovaru dulje ili kraće vrijeme.
