Union of Polish Patriots (Society of Polish Patriots, Polish: Związek Patriotów Polskich, ZPP, Russian: Союз Польских Патриотов, СПП) was a political body created by Polish communists in the Soviet Union in 1943. The ZPP, unofficially controlled and directed by Joseph Stalin, became one of the founding structures of the Soviet-controlled communist government that after World War II took power in Poland. In 1944–1946 the ZPP was involved in resettling Poles from the Soviet Union into Poland. On 30 July 1946, the State National Council dissolved the Union of Polish Patriots.
