Status prawny urzędu Wojewody Lubelskiego w latach 1944–1950
The legal status of Lublin Province Governor in 1944–1950

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the normative basis for the functioning of the Lublin Province Governor in the years 1944–1950. It discusses the attributions of the Province Governor as a representative of the government, the second degree general administration and the chairman of the Provincial Department. Due to the nature of the era, it was indispensable to expose the positions of the individuals who acted in the office of the Lublin Province Governor within the structures of the Polish Worker’s Party and Polish United Workers’ Party. In the realities of the so-called “Lublin’s State of Poland” the functionality of the Lublin Province Governor was of a pioneer character, because the stagnation in the fights with the Third Reich, which on the Polish part of the front of war lasted for several months, and the geopolitical repercussions resulting thereof, made the Lublin area a platform for the people’s legislator to try out new concepts concerning the political system. Progression of the actions at the front of war have implied the loss of the Lublin Province’s unique status, and the definitive end of its special rank have been caused by the seat of the highest state authorities from Lublin to Warsaw in February 1945.
