This dissertation is the first scientific description of life and activity of Janusz Radziwill (1880-1967) who was the Berlin descendant of famous Lithuanian house, the lord of Olyka manor, and the owner of Nieborow as well. Being the head of State with the Polish Regency Council he co-originated the Polish Diplomatic Service. Janusz Radziwill was a conservative politician of great importance in the political life of the II Polish Republic as he was one of the leaders of the Righ Wing Party, the co-operator of Jozef Pilsudski (after May, 1926), and the vice-chairman of Non-Party Block of Co-operation with Government (BBWR). He held a mandate of a deputy in years 1928-1935 and a seat in Parliament in years 1935-1938. He was kept imprisoned in Moabit, Germany (1945), and twice in Lubianka, The Soviet Union (1939,1945). As the Soviet Authorities held him under arrest in Krasnogorsk, he came back to his mother-country just in 1947. After the war he remained in Poland, acting the role of the moral leader to those aristocrats who had decided not to emigrate. Particular areas of his professional activity have been enclosed within five chapters complemented with the preface, conclusions, and bibliography.
