Summary. The document is an important source that helps to recreate the methods of imposing the totalitarian regime in Drohobych region in the early post-war years. It shows that the restoring Soviet authorities relied on the system of punitive-repressive bodies, whose main task was to fight the Ukrainian liberation movement and local population, which supported it. Participation, assistance, support of the OUN and UPA, and just unwillingness to be a snitch, was punished very strictly, for at least 10 years of imprisonment and more, persons who have escaped a forced labour mobilization were subjected to harassment. To a separate category of those who were brought to criminal responsibility belonged employees the military officers of the Soviet punitive-repressive bodies.
