Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the contribution of rev. Bronisław Ussas to the Joint Reevacuation Committee and Special Committee intended to claim book collections, archives, and museum items from the Soviet Russia after the Peace of Riga ending the Polish-Bolshevik war. The work of the Committee ended with relative success due to committed members struggling against the resistance of the Soviet authorities. The members of the Committee had extensive knowledge about the Polish goods stolen by Russia during the partitions. Rev. Ussas was one of them.
