Summary/Abstract: From the moment of finishing the military activity, the members of Sorbian – Lusatian national movement were striving for the best relationships with the occupational administration and the USSR approval for their independence aspirations. Russian people, however, did not respond to any of memos addressed. The tries aimed at achieving the possibility of sending Sorbian-Lusatian delegations to Moscow were ended up with failure. At the beginning of 1946, the Soviet authorities decided that Lusatia should still be the part of Germany. At the same time, the Sorbian-Lusatian people were ensured cultural and educational rights. The accomplishment of those arrangements was possible, no sooner than, in 1948, together with decreeing so-called the Sorbian – Lusatian Act by the Saxon State Sejm.
