Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is an attempt to formulate an answer to the question about the influence that the neighborhood of the Soviet Union had on Edward Śmigły-Rydz's policy in the years 1935-1939. The commander-in-chief of the Polish campaign of 1939 was then a decisive person in Poland's internal policy, also effectively influencing other areas of social life in the Second Polish Commonwealth. Based on documents and memoirs, the author analyzes the situation of September 17, 1939, criticizing the steps taken by the Polish authorities.
