The book describes the first
year of the activity of the apparatus of public security. It was a very
particular period for the Lublin area - when Lublin was being Warsaw- as it
was described by the communist historians. The book includes instructions,
orders, recommendations of the Ministry of Public Security and the Regional
Office of Public Security in Lublin as well as reports and memos of the local
units. They all give an idea of the ruthless methods of gaining power by the
communists and of methods of subordinating the Polish society. The documents
also show the crucial role of the Soviets in forming the Polish security
apparatus.
Documents from this volume are stored in the Archives of Lublin branch of IPN.
They had never been published before with the complete scientific references.
Yet Manifest PKWN is an exception. Although the manifest had been often
published before it seemed right to publish it this time as well. The manifest
constituted basis for the new rule of communists in Poland and the selection
of documents show the methods and circumstances which accompanied the manifests
coming into force.
The documents are arranged in chronological order in five thematic blocs:
- Founding Act
- Personal Orders
- Normative Files
- Reports and Memos
- Notes from Briefing
The publications aim is to provide information about the circumstances of
origin of the repression apparatus in Poland and methods of its activity in the
first year of its activity. The editorial staff express hope that the
publication will fill in the empty space in historiography and will provide
assistance in further research on history of Poland after the war.
