Summary/Abstract: Aleksander Prystor’s resignation from the post of prime minister in 1933 was related to the fact that he lost Marshal Piłsudski’s trust. Historians associated this with the Marshal’s old age. An analysis of available source material, however, sheds new light on the inside story of this resignation. It turns out that Prystor made a number of important decisions, combining various ministries together and appointing new ministers, without consultation with Piłsudski. This led to a conflict between the two politicians.
