metadata.value: Dmitry S. Polyansky made a distinguished career from the state farm to the CPSU Politburo
  and the Government of the USSR. Featuring in momentous events, this personality, however,
  remains outside the scope of special researches. This article is a prologue to the creation
  of a complete and objective biography of Polyansky. Previously unknown materials devoted
  to his activity until 1955 comprise the basis of this study: a personnel record card filled by
  Polyansky, a manuscript of his autobiography, and a certificate for the transfer to Simferopol.
  The information from the secret archives is supplemented by the memories of his daughters
  and G. M. Malenkov’s son. These sources are considered in the light of the well known facts
  and conjectures about Polyansky in order to reconstruct the circumstances of his arrival in
  Crimea. The paper examines the connection of one of the leaders of Communist party and
  USSR to the events WW II and why the question of his nationality can not be definitely resolved.
  It also sheds light on the idea of the Cental Commitee to relocate its inspector to the
  region, on the details of the defeat of “Leningrad group”. The context of the renewal of local
  authorities after A. A. Zhdanov’s death is recreated, the links between their representatives and
  J. V. Stalin’s pool are established. The myth about N. S. Khrushchev’s role in the fate of Polyansky
  is also debunked.
