Foreign intelligence and pharmaceutical industry in Poland. Part 1
The article examines the involvement of Polish intelligence in the transfer of medicines, active substances and pharmaceutical products to Poland. The "socially useful" function of communist secret services becomes a fascinating problem in this context.

Such accidents, resulting from weaknesses of the planned economy, gave Polish authorities an additional incentive to replace legal means of trade by intelligence along with its capabilities to obtain solutions on the “black market”. Thanks to the intelligence's trade channels, valuable foreign currencies could possibly be collected and spent in other crucial areas, in particular by repaying loans to western European creditors For more, see: Zloch-Christy I. Debt problems of Eastern Europe. Cambridge, 1987. P. 105-113.. Additionally, the cost of technologies purchased “illegally” was several hundred percent lower than the purchase of official licenses. It is confirmed in many dozens of cable exchanges between the Ministry of Chemical Industry and intelligence. Based on analyzed materials, it is possible to initially note that intelligence focuses mainly on one of around a dozen, though most costly segments of medicine production -- i. e. antibiotics, which obviously did not exclude leading selective operations in other key segments, such as vaccines or cardiology. However, even during the most intense periods, its input could not exceed more than twenty percent of solutions implemented by the Polish pharmaceutical industry in the mass production every year.
In the second part of the article, I will analyze intelligence documents on operations aimed at bringing technology of medicine production to Poland. Moreover, I will try to quantify the economic effects of illegal purchases approved by the authorities of the People's Republic of Poland. I will also discuss the assets and modus operandi of the Division of Chemical Scientific and Technical Intelligence. On the example of HIV, I will also present analytical, informational and prognostic functions of the intelligence service of PPR operating in the area of health care.
