Abstract
The article is devoted to the issues concerning the operational fund for financing the activities of the security apparatus of the Polish People’s Republic in the years 1975–1990. Its author discusses the issues from the example of the Radom province and the Provincial Headquarters of the MO (the Police Forces called “Citizen Militia”) and the Provincial Office of Internal Affairs in Radom that existed at that time. He focuses on theoretical and practical aspects thereof, analysing inter alia the legal regulations that were in force at that time. He familiarizes readers with the state of preservation of the Security Service archival materials concerning the issues kept among holdings of the IPN Branch in Radom. Moreover, he stresses the importance of this type of documentation for the assessment of individual forms of SB (Security Service) operation, including such important areas as payments to informal collaborators (among the examples there is also – which is very rare – an informant who was employed in an undisclosed position).
