Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the historical events related to the final establishment of the Polish eastern frontier after 1945. This political boundary separated Poland from the USSR. It was made upon a decision of three superpowers at Teheran and Yalta. The text presents an interpretation of its final delimitation, which was a complex task politically and technically. Next, the boundaries on the Polish-Belarusian and Polish-Ukrainian sections are discussed. There is also an analysis of geographical and political circumstances of the exchange of frontier areas made by Poland and the Soviet Union in 1951.
