Opening the archives of the Polish People's Republic intelligence revealed that the most important Polish security agent who systematically informed on Peter Raina lived with him under the same roof. This is about Raina's wife, Barbara Wereszczynska, with whom the historian was in a relationship for 14 years. Reports and reports found years later show that thanks to agent WEBA, later called SEHU, the security service had constant and detailed access to Raina's apartment, his notes, notebooks, notes, documents, and that she received telephone numbers, addresses and names of almost everyone, who passed through his house is shocking. Certainly the hero of these denunciations himself, who publicly asks himself the question: why? The search for an answer to this dramatic question is Peter Raina's book "Close Spy" published last year and the television programs in which he tried to deal with this terrible history. It is a story about the extraordinary hero himself, about the history of Poland in the second half of the twentieth century seen through the eyes of a historian and its active participant, as well as a presentation of Raina's own views on this history.
