An outline of the actions of the communist security apparatus against the Ukrainian population in Ziemia Lubuska in 1947-1989

Abstract

Settled after the “Vistula” Operation in Ziemia Lubuska, the Ukrainian population was supervised by the communist security apparatus. All displaced people were subjected to surveillance, irrespective of the degree of loyalty to the new authority. Operational work on Ukrainians was conducted with varying intensity throughout all the period of the People’s Republic of Poland. The actions taken were not only aimed at “neutralizing” anti-systemic behavior but also accelerating
the integration and assimilation processes. The repression of the Ukrainian population, the reduction of contacts with the compatriots abroad, and the paralysis of social and religious activity were to become effective means of accelerating the loss of national, cultural and religious diversity.
