Abstract
Article presents events which led Captain Stanisław Szymonik, security service officer working at the Permanent Representation of the People’s Republic of Poland to the UN, to join in 1964 US counterintelligence. Szymonik’s descent deserves approximation not only because he had no prior place in literature of the subject but also its worth a note because of the special character of tasks performed by him and his knowledge of a number of officers of the communist security apparatus and their working methods. The scale of loses was reflected in convicting the officer to the death penalty.
