Historical SummaryFollowing the German-Soviet partition of Poland, a Polish Government-in-Exile was set up, first at Angers in France and then, following the defeat of France, in London, England. With this Polish Government the Soviet Union signed an agreement in London, on July 30, 1941, voiding the territorial changes effected by the German-Soviet treaties of 1939.

Treaty Between the Soviet Union and the Polish Government-In-Exile, July 30, 19412
ARTICLE I. The Government of the U.S.S.R. recognizes the Soviet-German treaties of 1939 as to territorial changes in Poland as having lost their validity. The Polish Government declares Poland is not bound by any agreement with any third power which is directed against the U.S.S.R.
ARTICLE II. Diplomatic relations will be restored between the two Governments upon the signing of this agreement, and an immediate exchange of Ambassadors will be arranged.
ARTICLE III. The two Governments mutually agree to render one to another aid and support of all kinds in the present war against Hitlerite Germany.
ARTICLE IV. The Government of the U.S.S.R. expresses its consent to the formation on territory of the U.S.S.R. of a Polish Army under a commander appointed by the Polish Government in agreement with the Soviet Government, the Polish Army on territory of the U.S.S.R. being subordinated in an operational sense to the Supreme Command of the U.S.S.R., in which the Polish Army will be represented. All details as to command, organization and employment of this force will be settled in a subsequent agreement.
ARTICLE V. This agreement will come into force immediately upon signature and without ratification. The present agreement is drawn up in two copies, in the Russian and Polish languages. Both texts have equal force.
The Soviet Government grants amnesty to all Polish citizens now detained on Soviet territory either as prisoners of war or on other sufficient grounds, as from the resumption of diplomatic relations.
