Wybór czy przymus? Sowieckie gwarancje bezpieczeństwa dla Polski po 1945 r.

Abstract

The question about the scope, content and effectiveness of activities is the subject of the article in which the author analyzes the methods of making Poland’s security policy dependent on the USSR in the context of establishing the country border on the Oder and Nysa Łużycka as an act of historical justice, which could only had been done thanks to the Polish communists supported by the USSR. Consequently, the foreign and military policy of People’s Poland was incorporated into a broader coalition structure, i.e. fully dependent on Soviet policy. This policy was justified in such a way to show the inevitability of Soviet security guarantees arising from the Polish-Soviet brotherhood of arms.
