The paper analyzes the methods and aims of persecution of the Church in the official documents and in the writings of Fr. Bukowiński. Based on official Soviet documents, the author emphasizes especially prohibition of prayer gatherings, even in private homes. At the same time, some religious groups were registered to create the impression of religious tolerance. Believers, on the other hand, were persecuted under the pretext of action against Soviet authorities. The writings of Fr. Władyslaw Bukowiński provide clear analysis of these persecutions. According to the Servant of God, they were not meant merely to combat the faith, but to struggle against man himself and his dignity. The article is an analysis of the testimony and the defense of the faith.
