Abstract
Article contributes to the problem of cooperation between the representatives of minority communities and Security Authorities of People’s Republic of Poland. Jan Ilnicki, Ukrainian living in Wroclaw from the end of World War II, was recruited for cooperation in 1957. For communistic secret police his case had a special meaning, because Ilnicki in the recent past was an employee of the German Intelligence Service. The article presents all directions of his cooperation with the country’s security authorities. Attention was also paid to the appearance of the negative emotions fear and uncertainty, among others. They have accompanied him during work under pressure of constant surveillance by the Security Service.
