Summary/Abstract: When the Red Army entered Lviv in July 1944, the Soviet special service (NKGB) proceeded to immediately deal with the Polish population, including civilians. At that time, Poles were the most numerous national group in the city. Despite the progressive changes, they treated Lviv as a Polish centre and did not intend to leave it. The article presents the attitude of the NKGB towards Polish civilian population in Lviv during the two-year transition period (1944–1946) and the actions to intimidate them and force them to leave the city. The text was based to a large extent on materials of the Soviet provenance, not known to Polish science so far.
