Summary/Abstract: In the whole concept of the communist ideology of the functioning of the totalitarian regime, the bureaucratic party nomenclature, which was appointing and dismissing persons from posi- tions in the structures of power, was of fundamental importance. In this context, the controlling dimension of katynizm shows the process of achieving the goal by using appropriately chosen methods. The consequence of such actions is organising the structure of socio-political life pursuant to especially worked out pedagogy of fear and punishment. It should be noted that the latter is generally applied in every ideology, not only the totalitarian one.
