Summary/Abstract: The presented document and the text constituting scholarly introductionto it reveal a fragment of the political reality of Poland and Europe in the mid-1930s.They say much about the political climate of the time, determined by the rise inpopularity of fascism and the leftist mobilisation against it. The Popular Front, formed with the approval of the Communist International (Comintern), united the hitherto dispersed forces of social democrats and communists, and revitalised variouscultural circles for a time. This could also be observed in Polish literature. Thedocument produced by the Polish political police brings knowledge about howdeeply left-wing literary circles were identified in the interwar period, and indirec-tly also informs about where the Polish government camp saw a real ideologicalenemy. It may be of interest to historians and political scientists as well as literaryhistorians.
