Abstract
Main point of this article is the analysis from the local perspective of the reorganisation of political police, which was initiated after Wladyslaw Gomulka came to power in 1956. This moment is considered as on the key points of the post-war history of Poland, which clearly divides the period when communists came into full power, introducing Stalinism and period of post totalitarian dictatorship of the communist party. The socio-political and economic crisis at the time meant a definitive collapse of the current model of exercising power based mainly on violence from the public security apparatus. New party leaders wanting to stabilise the internal situation of the country was forced to make numerous declarations regarding greater respect for the law and civil liberties and to limit the role of political police in the state. This was followed by the announcement of the reorganisation of the police services in November 1956, whose assumptions at various speeds were implemented in the following year. The article analyses the statistics allowing to verify and complete the image of the researched socio-occupational group presented in the literature of the subject. Also article describes the problems relating to the changes in numbers and content in the network of the Social Security’s agentural-information network in Bydgoszcz Voivodship.
