 The Record - Part 4
Wanda Wasilewska, president of the "Patriots," had become a Soviet citizen in the first year of the war.
Through their press and over the Moscow and Kiev radios, Wasilewska and Berling and the insignificant few around them carried on a continuous campaign against the Polish Government and General Anders, commander of the Polish troops which had left Russia.
What they did not say was that Marshal Stalin himself was responsible for that army's departure from the USSR.

Led by a prewar left-wing writer and activist, Wanda Wasilewska (1904-1964), these people were allowed to publish pro-communist Polish newspapers and organize poets and writers to write in support of Soviet rule.
It is clear that from that time on, if not earlier, they were selected by Stalin to provide a new, predominantly communist leadership for a future Soviet-dominated Poland, as a counter to the Polish government in London, which enjoyed the support of the vast majority of Poles..
Wasilewska herself was elected to the Supreme Soviet from the western Ukraine; she then joined the Ukrainian Communist Party and became a Soviet citizen.

In early January 1943, Wanda Wasilewska and the Polish communist ideologue, Alfred Lampe (1900-1943), had written a letter to Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov, suggesting it was perhaps time to create not only a new "progressive" Polish center in the USSR, but also to recruit Polish citizens for a new Polish army, though.
Whatever the case may be, Wasilewska stated later in her taped memoirs that Stalin suddenly called her to Moscow in early Feburary 1943, just as she was travelling to Stalingrad to cover the victory there.
Stalin and Wasilewska "agreed" that the first step was the establishment of a new Polish newspaper called Wolna Polska (Free Poland), whose first number would appear on March 1, 1943.

In April 1943, when Polish Government in Exile led by General Władysław Sikorski insisted on bringing this matter to the negotiation table with Soviets and on an investigation by the International Red Cross.
Stalin used the Katyń Massacre unsupported allegiations as the pretext to withdraw recognition to Sikorski's government in Britain on April 26, accuse it of collaborating with Nazi Germany, and start the campaign to get the Western Allies to recognize the Soviet puppet Polish government led by Wanda Wasilewska.
Sikorski, whose uncompromising stance on that issue was beginning to create a rift between Western Allies and Soviets, died suddenly two months later.

The home was formed in 1943 by Wanda Wasilewska for Polish children, many of whom previously found themselves in Soviet orphanages after their parents had died from disease and starvation following their forcible resettlement in Komi, Siberia and other Soviet territories with a very cold climate.
However, a number of the children (a few of whom were Belorussian) had at least one parent, usually in the newly formed Polish army.

The Communists held a majority of key posts in this new government, and with the Soviet support they soon gained almost total control of the country, rigging all elections.
Their opponents, led by Stanisław Mikołajczyk, managed only one but substantial victory: Poland preserved its status as an semi-independent state, contrary to the plans of some influential communists such as Wanda Wasilewska, who were in favour of Poland becoming another republic of the Soviet Union.
This important victory would be their last, however, as Communists tightening their grip on power began political persecution of all opposition.

The Soviets had exploited the controversy over Katyn to sever relations with the London-based Polish Government, so as to clear the way for a postwar communist-sponsored Polish government which would yield unquestioningly to Russian demands.
Stalin soon began a campaign for recognition by the Western Allies of a Soviet-backed puppet Polish government led by Wanda Wasilewska, a dedicated communist with a seat in the Supreme Soviet, with General Zygmunt Berling, commander of the 1st Polish Army in Russia, as commander-in-chief of all Polish armed forces.
On July 4, 1943, while Sikorski was returning from an inspection of Polish forces deployed in the Middle East, he was killed when his plane, B-24 Liberator AL 523, crashed into the sea 16 seconds after takeoff from Gibraltar at 23:07 hours.
