Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article are the wartime activities of the S.F. Składkowski’s cabinet inSeptember 1939 during its stay in the Volhynia voivodship (September 9–14). During that peri-od, the government attempted to resume its administrative functions following the evacuationfrom the capital and the resulting scattering (earlier period of September 5–8). After the nextrelocation further south (September 14–15), such administrative activities were not taken upagain. The article deals with such matters as the infrastructural activities of the Second Pol-ish Republic government during the Volhynia period, the consequences of the governmentalagenda’s dispersal, and forms of activity of individual ministries. Attention is paid to nationalcontexts, and in particular to the impact the domination of the Ukrainian population among theinhabitants of Volhynia had on the work of the state apparatus.
