description

During the first phase of the communist rule in Poland, control over the press, publications and spectacles was distributed among various state institutions. Initially, the main unit responsible for this task was the Department of Information and Propaganda, transformed in late 1944 into the Ministry of Information and Propaganda. The field structures of the MolaP had two-level hierarchy, to which voivodeship bureaus and poviat bureaus of information and propaganda belonged. The present text aims at showing the competences of the officials of the aforementioned ministry, as well as the tasks connected therewith and performed by the employees of the Poviat Bureau of Information and Propaganda in Opole during the first years after World War 2.
