Summary/Abstract: The paper relates studying the activites of the emigration of the non- Soviet people of the Soviet Union, who, after losing the independence by their native republics, addressed Turkey asking for the political refuge. It has been found that those people got in the focus of the Polish special services, which were acting within the frames of the concept of Poland’s Prometheism, which was directed at weakening and collapse of the USSR due to the national differentiation. Poles managed to unite separate Georgian, Azerbaijani and North-Caucasian groups and guide their activities in the anti-Soviet direction. Development of the international situation prevented the Prometheism plans of the Poland of Pilsudski to come true completely.
