Elity rosyjskie wobec wydarzeń z maja 1926 r. w Polsce
Russian Elites and the Events of May 1926 in Poland

Summary/Abstract: In evaluating and analyzing the events of Polish history, their international context is very often forgotten. The same applies to the May coup. Thus, the purpose of the article is therefore to outline the point of view of the USSR elites for the period preceding and immediately following the events of May 1926. As a result of the analysis of documents from the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History, collected and translated by the Institute of National Remembrance, it is possible to show that the most important politicians in Moscow were not indifferent to the seizure of power by Józef Piłsudski, on the contrary, they received it with concern. And the possible loss of influence on the activities of the Communist Party of Poland at some point was met with fear, which caused increased aggression and pressure on CPP activists, which in turn led to the imposition of this ideological line.
