Wpływ adeptów przedwojennej lwowskiej edukacji prawniczej na orzekanie Wojskowego Sądu Rejonowego w Opolu w latach 1950–1954 na przykładzie pierwszego szefa WSR w Opolu mjr. Edwarda Kotkowskiego i sprawy szewca Bolibrzucha z Moszczanki

The influence of students of pre-war Lviv legal education on adjudicating by the Provincial District Court in Opole in the years 1950–1954 offers, in the author’s opinion, an important research issue. Especially in a case such as the one mentioned in title of the article, when the accused was a pre-war Polish citizen, a resident of the eastern borderlands of the Second Republic. It seems that the case is very instructive. It shows a pre-war graduate in law from the University of Lviv, who gradually passes onto the side of the communistic state and a simple man who knows the truth about the Soviet Union. Others are also described as officers of the security organs, mostly inept, but still exerting a tremendous pressure on society to consolidate communists’ power in postwar Poland. A railwayman of the Borderlands can be a summary of the summary – you should stick to the truth and not give in to strong pressure of the evil.
