Summary/Abstract: An archival and bibliographic enquiry reveals numerous similarities and interesting differences in the public activities of Edward Ochab and Aleksander Zawadzki. One of the similarities is, of course, the ‘exile’ after the Second World War of both these activists originating from the milieu of Polish communists in the USSR precisely to Katowice. The motif of Zawadzki’s and Ochab’s stay in the Silesian Voivodeship, which lasted until 1948, plays the role of a kind of buckle binding the issues analysed in the problem-chronological order. The text first describes the main events in the lives of these two experienced communists. Then the role they played in the period of the so-called ‘Polska Lubelska’ is analysed.
