Summary/Abstract: In Poland in the mid-1940s a number of „anti-fascist” regulations came into force. However, they served mostly as a propaganda tool aimed at fighting political opponents and building a new order. In this context, attention should be drawn to „anti-fascist” provisions contained in a Decree on particularly dangerous crimes during the rebuilding of the State of June 13, 1946 (aka „small penal code”).
