THE ORIGIN OF THE PKWN’S JUSTICE SYSTEM. 70TH ANNIVERSARY
Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
In 1944, Red Army of the Soviet Union entered the Polish territory. At that time (July 1944) in Moscow, on Stalin’s order, a group of “Polish” communists established Polish Committee of National Liberation or PKWN. PKWN pretended to have a role of the Polish government. Legal Polish government was in exile in London during the whole Second World War. PKWN established, among others, the courts. After the Second World War it was important for the „Polish” Communists that the changes which they had introduced were not perceived as revolutionary. For camouflage the process of their entering into power was supposed to appear legal. That was they formally retained most of the pre-war legal acts. It was characteristic of the changes made in the law in the early years of the People’s Republic that their purpose was to persecute the political opposition, be it real or imaginary, and to take revenge on the soldiers of the Polish Home Army - a military resistance organisation, on the activists of the Second World War Polish Underground Sate and also on the state officials of pre-war Poland. The basics acts which substantively shaped the law in this respect were issued from 1944.
