Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the post-Soviet collections preserved in the Hoover Archives conducted through the lens of Polish issues. In the proposed approach, the history of the Polish nation in the twentieth century is not limited to the history of the Polish state and Polish citizens. The research possibilities offered by the Hoover Institution make it possible to broaden the field of research into the Soviet issues based on materials of the Soviet provenance difficult to access in their place of permanent storage.
