 The author of the published study deals with a specific security situation in the northern regions of Orava as a consequence of re-allocating some of the parts to Polish authority. He follows the development of the incorporated regions as well as Slovak site of the frontiers from the liberation of these regions by Red Army up to the year 1947. Due to signing Czechoslovak-Polish Treaty on friendship, cooperation and solidarity the year should have been a breakthrough in the relations between the two states. The author mainly reflects the activities of a Polish military troop - Blyskawica. The members of the troop had a real influence on the persecutions of Slovaks in Poland; moreover they were organizing robberies of Slovak villages. As far as this aspect is concerned, the study reads on the actions of Czechoslovak Army and Slovak Armed Forces against the troops, as well as on the issues of cooperation with Polish Security Forces in the search of their liquidation.

Key words: Military History. Slovakia. Poland. Security situation. 1945 – 1947.
