Summary/Abstract: The post-war life history of Aleksander Ładoś remains the least-known period of his life. After completing his mission as head of the Mission of the Republic of Poland in Bern in summer 1945, he remained in exile. Thanks to his position in the community of the Peasant Party, he was selected the representative of the Polish Peasant Party headed by Mikołajczyk for Western Europe. At the end of the 1940s, he withdrew from the public life and was repatriated to his homeland in 1960. The rich documentation of the PRP’s intelligence service, made available several years ago, provides a clearer vier of the circumstances of his return, above all to restore his “operational dialogue” over several years with members of the Security Service.
