The PRL intelligence service on Kazimierz Sabbat’s trail

Abstract

Krzysztof Tarka has for years been researching into unofficial contacts of Polish emigration with the special services of the Polish People’s Republic and the role those services played in initiating political and social incidents in exile. It is especially important to explore successful and unsuccessful attempts of gaining most outstanding emigration politicians for cooperation. One of the persons under surveillance was the Prime minister, then the President of the Republic of Poland in Exile (1986–1989)—Kazimierz Sabbat. The article describes the knowledge the special services had of Sabbat and the attempts to win him for collaboration. It shows the mechanisms of activities and people who were conducting them.
