Abstract

After the end of World War II, Poland was fully under the influence of the USSR, and the interim government of National Unity dependent on Józef Stalin took over power. The new authorities aroused resistance in the society and provoked a defensive reaction. Statistical summaries constitute an interesting source showing the problem of fighting the underground independence from the side of the apparatus of repression. It should be remembered, however, that they were assembled, like departmental studies, primarily in the second half of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s, and their purpose was to promote the merits of security organs in consolidating the people’s power. Therefore, the data they contain is not reliable. However, it shows how the history of the Polish underground was presented. With the help of that, they also sought to consolidate false ideas about the anti-communist underground in Polish society.
