AB - 
	The aim of the article was to present the circumstances of the establishment and the scope of activities of the Central Office for Control of the Press, which was transformed into the Main Office for Control of the Press, Publications, and Public Performances in November 1945. The article is an attempt at answering the following questions: who were the first censors? From what communities/professional groups did they come? According to what criteria were the censors selected shortly after the founding of the Center? How did the so-called Soviet Glavlit advisors influence the process of the emergence of institutional censorship in the Polish territory during World War II? Under what circumstances was the Central Office for Control of the Press established?
