Abstract
he purpose of the article is to analyze counteraction to illegal migration activities at the border of the Republic of Poland (Second Polish Republic) in particular, in the Ukrainian sector of the Polish-Soviet border from 1929 to 1933. The article focuses on the Ukrainian sector of the Polish-Soviet border, as it was characterized by unique characteristics associated with the peasant uprisings of 1930 against collectivization and the Great Famine (Holodomor) of 1932–1933. The study proposes to track the reaction of the Polish and Soviet sides to permanent illegal migration across the border, the attempt of intelligence of these countries to master the smuggling trade. The researcher pays special attention to the structural changes that the intelligence departments (in Polish: ekspozytury wywiadu) of the Polish Border Guard Corps (Korpus ochrony pogranicza, KOP) have undergone. Also, on the example of specific investigative cases, the schemes of sabotage and intelligence activities of the Soviet side on the border of the Republic of Poland are considered.
