Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses repressions of the Soviet security apparatus against a Lviv social activist Maria Tereszczak beginning with her arrest by counterintelligence bureau SMERSH in 1945, through a court trial, deportation, time in a labor camp, and her return to Lviv. It also depicts a seemingly hopeless struggle of the Pole to regain her good name. After ten years her sentence was annulled and she was rehabilitated. This development was a rare event at the time of the Brezhnev rule in the USSR.
