In 1939, many Polish well-known writers were in Lvov. After the Soviet invasion on the Eastern territories of the 2nd Polish Republic, part of them, mainly those holding communist views, started to collaborate with the invader and its occupying forces. In that group happened to be a person, famous before the war – Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński. A well-known writer and translator, pediatrician by profession (he abandoned his profession), lent his name and endorsed the propaganda activities of the Soviet authorities, and also put his signature under declarations accepting Russian aggression against the 2nd Polish Republic and incorporation of the Eastern borderlands to the USSR. Boy-Żeleński wrote many articles to Polish-language, Soviet collaborationist rags published in Lvov, as “Czerwony Sztandar”, or “Nowe Widnokręgi”. He participated in numerous propaganda meetings and rallies. At that time in Lvov and other places of the occupied Polish territories, mass arrests were taking place, as well as transportations of many thousand people to Russia, evictions, executions, and other methods of horrible repressions. After Germans entered Lvov, Boy was arrested and murdered by new invaders on 3 July, 1941.
