Documents show Jaruzelski also snitched on fellow officers
After being recruited as an agent of Soviet GRU military intelligence, Poland's future dictator Wojciech Jaruzelski spied on his fellow officers, according to a document from the Stasi of the former East Germany.
As this blog reported on June 8, Jaruzelski joined Stalin's GRU legion in 1946.
This blogger has since learned that a Stasi report generated on March 14, 1986 showed that Captain Czeslaw Kiszczak recruited Jaruzelski in 1952 to snitch on his friends and colleagues at the General Staff Academy.
When ruling Poland under martial law in the 1980s, Jaruzelski named his former recruiter, now-General Kiszczak, to be his Minister of Internal Affairs.
Jaruzelski agreed to betray his military comrades apparently while the Communist military leadership had sought to purge him for his "bourgeous roots." The Stasi material indicates that Kiszczak saved his career by showing proof of Jaruzelski's faithful service to the Soviet Union's Josef Stalin.
Stalin died in early 1953. Russian strongman Vladimir Putin decorated Jaruzelski in May, 2005, for his World War II service to the Soviet cause.
