Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the surveillance of Adam Vetulani, a professor of the Jagiellonian University, by the Cracow Security Service (SB) within the operational case ‘Venice’, directed against former activists of the Polish People’s Party (PSL) in contact with Professor Stanisław Kot, who was in exile. Apart from Vetulani, the group also included Professors Henryk Barycz, Jan Hulewicz, Ignacy Zarębski, and Jerzy Zathey. The surveillance, which lasted for 28 years, did not bring any visible results, apart from the tormenting of Vetulani and his closest family.
