Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Jagiellonian University Professor Adam Vetulani’s efforts to reactivate the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences between 1956 and 1958, which failed due to the hostility of the communist authorities and the praesidium of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. For his activities, Vetulani paid not only with a long-term ban on foreign travels (to the detriment of Polish sciences) and the fact that he did not become a full member of the Polish Academy of Sciences but also with long-term surveillance by the communist security services.
