Secret police-style questions from nomenklatura-owned newspaper

One of my colleagues recently received a set of weird questions from Zycie Warszawy, a Warsaw paper whose owner was a member of the communist nomenklatura under the Soviet occupation. They're legitimate questions, I suppose, but item number 1 looks like it came from an old secret police manual. Here it is, for curiosity's sake:

Dear Sir,

I would appreciate if you answered the following questions:

1. Is prof. Michael Waller your friend . . .? Do you exchange information concerning Polish secret police? If so, how often?

2. Was Waller's publication "Poland's Soviet ambassador to the USA?"
inspired by you? Have you consulted with him when preparing the text?

3. Szlajfer officialy denied your claims he had been a communist secret police collaborator. He told the parliamentary foreign affairs commission that he was checked several times by the ministry of foreign affairs. Do you think he was a communist secret police collaborator?

Sincerely

Pawel Szaniawski
