Abstract

The present article has been divided into two sections. The first presents the methodology and achievements of research relative to the history of Polish- Lithuanian relations from the mid-19th century to the incorporation of the Republic of Lithuania into the USSR in summer 1940. International relations between the two nations in the interwar period are also presented, in order for a better understanding of the realities faced by prisoners. It is against such background that the second part analyzes the questionnaires prepared by the Historical Department and the Documents Bureau of the Polish Army in the East, storied in the archives of the Hoover Institution.
