Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the path leading to the decision about the Sovietisation of Poland between late April and mid-August 1920. Based on archival materials of Political Bureau and Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), correspondence between members of the Politburo as well as documents of the Supreme Command of the Red Army and the commands of the Western and South-West Front from the analysed period, the author presents the internal discussions and dilemmas of the Soviet leadership in relation with the strategic attempt to undermine the entire Versailles system and to advance through Poland into Germany
