Soudruhu Stalinovi

Ve zajateckých táborech a věznicích v západních oblastech Ukrajiny a Běloruska se v současné době nachází velké množství bývalých důstojníků polské armády, bývalých zaměstnanců polské policie a zpravodajských agentur, členů polských nacionalistických k-r (kontrarevolučních) stran, členů podzemních k-r organizací, dezertérů apod. Všichni to jsou nesmiřitelní nepřátelé sovětské moci plni nenávisti k sovětskému systému.

Zajatí důstojnící a policisté, kteří se nacházejí v táborech, se snaží pokračovat v k-r činnosti a provádějí aktivní antisovětskou agitaci. Každý z nich se po propuštění chystá pokračovat v boji proti sovětské moci.

Orgány NKVD odhalily v západních oblastech Ukrajiny a Běloruska řadu k-r povstaleckých organizací. Ve všech těchto k-r organizacích hrají vůdčí roli bývalí příslušníci bývalé polské armády, bývalí policisté a četníci.

Mezi zadrženými dezertéry a narušiteli stát-

TOP SECRET

From the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to comrade STALIN

In the NKVD POW camps and in the prisons of the western oblasts of Ukraine and Belorussia there is currently a large number of former officers of the Polish army, former Polish police officers and employees of intelligence agencies, members of Polish nationalist c-r (counterrevolutionary) parties, participants in underground c-r rebel organizations, defectors and so on. All of them are implacable enemies of Soviet power and full of hatred for the Soviet system.

POW officers and policemen located in the camps are attempting to continue c-r work and are leading anti-Soviet agitation. Each of them is simply waiting to be freed so they can have the opportunity to actively join the fight against Soviet power.

NKVD agents in the western oblasts of Ukraine and Belorussia have uncovered a number of c-r rebel organizations. In each of these c-r organizations the former officers of the former Polish army and former Polish police officers played an active leadership role.

Among the detained defectors and violators of the state-

KC WKP (b) dla towarzysza STALINA

W obozach NKWD ZSRR dla jeńców wojennych i w więzieniach zachodnich obwodów Ukrainy i Białorusi w chwili obecnej przetrzymywana jest wielka liczba byłych oficerów armii polskiej, byłych pracowników polskiej policji i organów wywiadu, członków polskich nacjonalistycznych k-r [kontrrewolucyjnych] partii, członków ujawnionych k-r [kontrrewolucyjnych] organizacji powstańczych, zbiegów i in. Wszyscy oni są zawziętymi wrogami władzy sowieckiej, pełnymi nienawiści do ustroju sowieckiego.

Jeńcy wojenni, oficerowie i policjanci, przebywający w obozach, próbują kontynuować działalność k-r [kontrrewolucyjną]. Aktywną rolę kierowniczą odgrywali byli oficerowie byłej polskiej armii, byli policjanci i żandarmi.

Wśród zatrzymanych zbiegów i osób, które naruszyły pań-
