The situation, which developed after the Second World War in Polish lands, resulted in a considerable restriction of the ethnic minorities living in Poland. The German minority was successively deported from territories entrusted to the post-war Polish state. Throughout the whole period of the People's Republic of Poland other ethnic communities, which had been granted the status of Polish citizens, but which retained their non-Polish nationality, remained the object of interest for the Public Security offices and their legal successors. The Ukrainian community was subjected to particular avid invigilation. This policy was the outcome of the struggle waged by the Ukrainians for their homeland and subsequent campaigns conducted by the Polish authorities and resettling the Ukrainian population to other parts of the country in order to liquidate the hinterland of the Ukrainian partisan movement. The first part of the article considers the role played by the WUBP in Koszalin in transferring Ukrainians to the region of Koszalin. Further fragments discuss the efforts made by the security apparatus in Koszalin to determine whether the local Ukrainians intended to become involve in conspiracy, a partisan movement or Intelligence undertakings. The resultant initiatives included agents permanently observing the conduct of the settlers and the cooperation of various state subjects. The UBP also made sure that the settlers did not return to their original place of residence. In subsequent years, when state authorities consented to the establishment of the Ukrainian Socio-Cultural Society and its outposts, the SB expanded its surveillance to encompass these organisations. The author discusses the interest shown by the local security apparatus in the Greek Catholic (Uniate) Church, whose faithful included numerous Ukrainian nationals. The text is supplemented with three tables showing the size of the Ukrainian population according to information at the disposal of the local UBP, the departures of Ukrainians to capitalist countries in 1956-1961 according to SB reports, and the number of agents amidst the Ukrainian community in counties of the voivodeship of Koszalin.

The resettlement and settlement action is one of the least known and explored aspects of the 'Vistula' Operation which took place in 1947. Polish Army troops were made responsible for the resettlement of the Ukrainians inhabiting southern Poland. In the course of the Operation, between May and October of 1947, about 9,684 families (33,946 Ukrainians) were forced to leave the province of Lublin to be settled in north and west Poland. They left behind 8,871 farms. Only 30% of them were later settled by new Polish settlers, while the rest was used as industrial-scale plough land and for forestry. The forces of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Ukrainian Nationalist Organization tried to prevent both the resettlement action and the subsequent Polish settlement, but were unsuccessful. This action changed the ethnic, linguistic, religious and cultural face of the Lublin region. The author presents in detail both the numerical data and the course of these events.
