	Prometheism as a defensive element of security policy of second Polish Republic in 1926–1932

	The article presents examples of the implementation of the Promethean action on selected directions of cooperation with nations dependent on the Soviet Union in connection with the activity of the authorities of the Second Republic of Poland in the years 1926–1932. The involvement of military authorities in this process was primarily taken into consideration. Prometheism was considered as one of the organised concepts of implementing not only political but also information and intelligence activities.

	The author defines the place and importance of Prometheism in the activities of Polish military intelligence in the years 1926–1932. He also distinguishes examples of cooperation with the Promethean nations aiming at strengthening the security of the Second Republic. The archival materials collected in the Central Military Archive in Warsaw-Rembertów and the Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw were used to achieve the objective set.

	It should be stated that Prometheism was a significant concept within the involvement of military intelligence in strengthening the national security of the Second Polish Republic. It was evidenced by the Polish authorities’ cooperation with nations dependent on Soviet activities in the East.
