English abstract: Under the Act of 23 February 1991, victims of repression during the communist era are entitled to claim compensation from the State Treasury. The condition is that they conducted activities for the independent existence of the Polish State. This concept is not defined by statutory law. The article aims to explain it. The research thesis of the article is that the phrase “activity for the independent existence of the Polish State” is of an indeterminate nature and examples from case law allow for determining its scope. The article specifies judicially developed conditions for recognizing activities as undertaken for the independent existence of the Polish State. The article was prepared using the doctrinal legal research method.
