The article is based on archival materials inherited by the Lithunian State from the Soviets. It concerns arresting the participants of Polish underground movement in the Vilnius District connected with the Service for Freedom of Poland - the Union of Armed Fighting - ZWZ. It is an attempt to present massive arrests of ZWZ commanders and members in the Vilnius District carried out in the spring of 1941. These arrests, prepared much earlier and precisely conducted, led practically to a complete stand still of the organisation activities for several months. According to estimations at that time, the arrests included about 100 people of the ZWZ Vilnius District. According to Soviet sources, in the period of March - May 1941 about 300 people accused or suspected of activities in ZWZ were arrested in NKVD prisons. The commanding and leadership cadre, mainly in Vilnius, suffered the greatest arrests. The ZWZ provincial structures were saved almost entirely and they in the future served as a perfect basis to reconstruct the organisation.

Two institutions of soviet intelligence functioned on the Polish Second Republic’s territory: Main Office of State Security and Military Intelligence Bureau of Workers - Peasants Red Army. Each of them had a separate area of interests, specific tasks, different methods of work, although they worked in close co-operation. Soviet intelligence worked very effectively in Poland, using not only espionage rings but also individual agents. Various methods were employed to recruit agents. Secret service agents were specially trained. A great attention was drawn to teach them to use explosives, which were to be used in diversion and sabotage actions in Poland. The techniques of soviet secret service were diversified and very resourceful, particularly in military intelligence. The agents’ activities were based on a ring consisting of a resident and his/her informers, inner and outer intermediaries. The resident was a central figure, therefore a great effort was put to train and locate him/her well. The soviet side tried to use all abilities of people engaged in espionage activities. It had a lot of money and consequently tended to accomplish its planned tasks. Soviet secret service was very dangerous and could not be disrespected. The weak side of its activity, however, was frequent engaging to co-operation people of low intellectual level. It influenced in a negative way the effectiveness of some espionage endeavours. Some actions were accomplished according to old schemes.
