This article discusses the conditions under which the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland operated in Kiev on the eve and at the beginning of the Second World War, as well as the circumstances under which the Consul General with two co-workers went missing. The content of the article was based above all on archival documents of the former Soviet Special Service which have only recently been discovered. They indicate that the Consul General to Kiev, Jerzy Matusiński, and his two subordinates, Andrzej Orszyński and Józef Łyczek, were arrested by officers of the NKVD of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic during the night from 30th September to 1st October 1939. The respective order was issued by, inter alia, the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic, Nikita Khrushchev, and the People’s Commissioner for the Interior of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Lavrentiy Beria. The arrested were transferred to the NKVD headquarters in Moscow and accused of carrying out espionage activity against the Soviet Union.
