Hello Otto,
a bit difficult since the official Polish name for Poland is 'Polska' 
(no exception, look at http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polska ).

'Russisch Polen' was also the official German labeling for the Polish 
territories occupied in WWI. German postage stamps were overprinted 
'Russisch Polen' for use in those territories (see

, http://i16.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/20/c9/415d_1.JPG ) which means that 
everything tasted better to the German Imperial Government than an 
independent Polish state!

I'm not so sure cince the movement wore a high risk and who of the 
German rural colonists, linen weavers and tradesmen would instead have 
adventured a perspective beyond the Ural?

There were uprisings against the Austrian & Prussian rule in 1846 and 
1848 too. Both (the Krakow and the Posen uprising) were suppressed.
