From the wiki as copied in entirety:

"1944: Responsibility for the Liquidation of Polish Resistance in Wilno"

"July 17, 1944 as part of a covert operation aimed at disarming Polish Resistance (Armia Krajowa or 'AK') soldiers Gen. Ivan Chernyakhovsky, along with the Gen. Ivan Serov, sent by the NKVD, held talks with the leadership of Wilno Branch of the AK. Under the false pretenses of discussing the further fight against the Nazis, Polish resistance officers were invited to a briefing in the headquarters of the Belarusian People's Front. The meeting was attended by Polish resistance officers Lt. Col. Alexander Krzyzanowski, nom de guerre 'Wolf' and the Chief of Staff Major Teodor Cetys, codename 'Fame'. Both were immediately disarmed and arrested. On the same day in the village of Bogusze, a similar meeting was announced to brief commanders of other Polish partisan units in the presence of both Lieutenant-Colonel 'Wolf' and Gen. Ivan Chernyakhovsky. However the 'briefing' ended with the disarming and arrest of the Polish officers by the NKVD. In this period, up to 8,000 Polish resistance fighters were arrested. They were either press-ganged into the Soviet Army, sent to camps or executed."

Armia Krajowa the Polish Home Army during the Second World War. Underground fighting force of the legitimate Polish government in exile.
