Sprawa kryptonim ,,Pascal". Konstanty Jeleński w dokumentach Słżuby Bezpieczeństwa PRL

Abstract

The article makes a critical analysis of the records produced by the Security Apparatus of the People's Republic of Poland in connection with Konstanty Jeleński. The discussed documents are held at the Institute of National Remembrance. Their critical reading enables the revision of thesis pertaining to the mechanisms of surveillance, collecting data on the community of Polish emigrants and the quality of the information the Security Apparatus managed to acquire. The article aims at contributing to the reflection on the usefulness of similar operations and their true impact on the community of Polish intellectuals in exile.
