Summary/Abstract: Polish lawyers in the period of Second Republic (1918–1939) were interested in changes of Soviet law, its theoretical grounds and practice. They were trying to analyze the Soviet law on comparative basis. From the beginning of 1920 the big stream of individual and group (organized) research has started. Such outstanding Polish lawyers as: Leopold Caro, Ignacy Czuma, Konstanty Grzybowski, Szymon Rundstein and Wiktor Sukiennicki can be regarded as pioneers in research on this field. Each of them represented his own method of research, due to differences in legal education, scientific interests or in philosophy of life. However, their conclusions were similar with those coming from modern sovietologists.
