Abstract

The communist movement in interwar Poland was scrupulously monitored not only by the State authorities, but also by Polish social anti-communist organizations, including the Alliance for Combating Communism headed by Henryk Glass. The Aalliance monitored the communist movement and initiated public information campaigns in the press to counteract the spread of communist influences in the country. The Alliance sought to identify and disclose the tactical operations of the communist party, including the operations of the communist people’s movement and the anti-fascist movement. An analysis of Soviet and communist literary sources indicates that these initiatives were regarded as instrumental in enticing revolutionary attitudes with the aim of provoking a mass upheaval and establishing the rule of the proletariat. The Alliance took various measures to expose the strategy of communist and anti-fascist movements and to thwart the communists’ plans to introduce the proletarian regime by abolishing the existing system in a bloody revolution.
