In September 1944 the Polish Committee of National Liberation concluded the so-called republican agreements with the governments of the Ukrainian, Belorussian and Lithuanian Republic of Soviets. Based on these agreements massive displacement of the population was conducted. Moreover, the evacuated were forced to leave their property for
the promise of obtaining one of similar value in the new settlement. Even though since 1946 the Polish legislator has normalized the issue of settling for the left real estate through the so-called right to credit, none of the adopted regulations led to the satisfaction of all beneficiaries. Hopes of getting compensation for the left property revived along with the political transformation.
The author presents proposed solutions that appeared in the parliamentary works between 1989 and 2003. The author presents all draft re-rivatization laws that were submitted to the Sejm of the 10th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th term until December 12, 2003, i.e. the day of passing of the Act on crediting, as part of the sale price or perpetual usufruct right to the State Treasury property, the value of real property left outside the present state borders. The author also tries to answer the question what caused the passing of the so-called Bug River Act occur so late, 15 years after the political transformation?
