A collection of published materials contains 18 documents from the Soviet archives created by local organs of USSR's secret police that have been kept confidential until now. They concern various forms of the population attitudes against the Soviet policy aiming at sovietization and russification of Poland's eastern territories seized by the military aggression of 1939.
