The presented text describes the backstage of the great operation of the communist service aimed at one of the graduates and employees of the Catholic University of Lublin. This pre-war graduate of the Faculty of Law and Socio-Economic Sciences of the Catholic University of Lublin, assistant at the Commercial Law Department and at the same time an assessor at the Lublin court, Józef Dolina, became one of the most sought after fugitives in the “political enemies of the state” category during the PRL. The collection of the Lublin Institute of National Remembrance contains files illustrating the extensive activities of the communist secret police, whose aim was to determine the whereabouts and surveillance of an escaped employee of the Catholic University of Lublin. To carry it out, forces and means were used to testify to the scale of the threat that the security service officers felt towards Józef Dolina.
