City officials had given the okay for the Russians to march in celebration of Russia Day.
An estimated 5,500 Russians were marching through the streets when Polish mobs began starting fights with them.
Hundreds were injured, at least a dozen severely before police could separate the groups.
Police were forced to use rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper spray against the rioters who began throwing rocks, bricks, and fire bombs back at police.
Fifty-six people were arrested, and Polish State Police listed ten people as dead.
