Abstract
The paper concerns selected aspects of the activities of the intelligence and counterintelligence services. These services are responsible for ensuring state security, which is currently the main goal of all authorities. Any policy in this regard must reflect the art of state governance according to the existing moral, legal and economic codes, but must also provide or create such opportunities as make it possible to come out of unstable or conflict situations with the least loss for the state. A key role is played here by counterintelligence services. A security policy is shaped by uncertainty and danger. In the case of Russia, the activities of the special services are a pillar of both domestic and foreign policies. Neutralizing and combating Russian intelligence is extremely difficult for Polish services, given the long tradition and extensive knowledge and experience of Russia. Counterintelligence is crucial for the importance and development of each country. By definition, counterintelligence recognizes the importance of public information for the security of the state, to help, among others, in predicting and preventing future threats. The priority is to protect information from foreign services operating at the expense of the national interest.
