The article explores the Soviet Information Bureau's manipulation of the Polish press from 1945 to 1953, the interaction of Soviet and Polish officials and the meagre results achieved by these efforts. The article illuminates the operation of the Soviet foreign propaganda unit and the problematic character of the project to mould Polish opinion of the USSR. It also reveals the inherent early weaknesses of the Soviet East European Empire more generally
