In the documents of Alexander Nikolayevich Yakovlev (1923-2005), a senior member of the Russian Communist Party, I found several documents that show the attitude of the Soviet authorities toward refugees from Poland (Jews and non-Jews) who fled into Vilnius, Lithuania, during the first occupation of Poland by Germany and Soviet Russia (September and October 1939). The document presented here deals with the instructions for the treatment of refugees after Lithuania was annexed by Russia and became a Soviet Republic (August 3, 1940). The Politburo decision cited here is from the 12th of December 1940, a few months after the Soviet takeover of Lithuania.
