Fragment of Stefan Czuba's application of September 13, 2002 to the Institute of National Remembrance to initiate an investigation into the death of a Ukrainian, Ivan Sałuk from Nakło, by officers of the Citizens' Militia of the Republic of Poland from Stubno:
„On June 3, 1945, on the road between the villages of Poździacz (now Leszno) and Nakło in the Przemyśl poviat, Józef Żwirkowski was killed. It soon turned out that the murder was due to personal accounts. Andrzej Wojciechowski from Wyszatycze told my father that Jan Sałuk had died innocent, because J. Żwirkowski had killed two brothers from Studno for defaming their sisters by Żwirkowski. Both the killers and their victim were Poles”.
