Combating espionage, subversive action and abuses in the Polish Army during the Polish-Bolshevik war according to the report of the Second Department of the Staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs of May 30, 1920

Abstract

During the Polish-Bolshevik war, due to the specificity of the internal and external situation, the military authorities were in the lead in terms of security. The militarization of the state, resulting from the growing needs not only on the anti-Russian front, led to a gradual extension of the scope of their competences to individual areas of life. The factors determining the use of the army were the difficult social situation, conducive to anti-state agitation, the lack of an efficient apparatus of control over the proper implementation of economic policy, which resulted in numerous economic scandals and abuses, and finally the constant and deepening penetration of the state by special, civil and military services, neighboring countries with whom the Republic of Poland had hostile, unregulated relations or was in a state of undeclared war.
