Summary/Abstract: The history of Polish Underground State’s structures has been the subject of the intensive research in the last quarter-century. Political decisions of those years remain still very controversial: the fight against both occupiers: Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union from September 1939, an attitude towards Soviet policy and communists’ role in the country since 1942. These are difficult dilemmas. According to the author, they generally cannot be successfully solved. Among them appear: an attitude towards Stalin’s policy, an issue of the Eastern border, an attitude to the Red Army invading Polish territories, a problem of ambiguous policy of our Allies towards the Polish authorities.
