Abstract
Jan Lewiarz in the days of People’s Republic of Poland was an important figure in the life of Russian Orthodox Church. He deserved it by rebuilding church structures in the province of Rzeszow, that had been damaged as a result of the Operation Vistula. His activity, however, had a political character, as it was directed against the Greek Catholic Church, repressed by the Communists. Cooperation with the security apparatus, which lasted more than forty years, casts a shadow on the life of Jan Lewiarz. Of his own will he also wrote denunciations to the religious authorities. He used his collaboration with the communist apparatus for strengthening his position in the Orthodox Church, fighting opponents and for gaining material benefits.
