I think you confused the Poles with the Czechs, the Czech Legion.

Yes, you're quite right. It was the Czech Anabasis, as I learned it in
Russian history, but that was a long time ago. Sorry!

(The Czechs got out of Russia, by the way, or most of them did. The
last ship left Vladivostok in August 1920, nearly three years and
4,000 miles from where they had begun their trek. Here's an internet
