Ludwik Malinowski (nom de guerre Lew of Przebraze, 1887-1962) was a Polish resistance fighter.

In 1919 he settled in the Volhynian village of Przebraze, where worked as a farmer, but also was an activist of the Polish Socialist Party.

In January 1943, Poles from Przebraze decided to organize their own defence, headed by Ludwik Malinowski, whose military experience would prove priceless in the future.

As Poles were not allowed to have weapons, Malinowski bribed local German civil servant in Kiwerce, who gave him 15 guns.

Malinowski knew about this, and, together with Henryk Cybulski, he turned Przebraze into an improvised fortress, which covered neighboring Polish settlements with the area of some 30 km2.

A group of Home Army soldiers attacked a Ukrainian police quarters in Lutsk and after a bitter fight, they rescued severely beaten, unconscious Malinowski, who was then taken to Kiwerce and treated by a doctor.

When Red Army pushed Wehrmacht out of Volhynia (early 1944), Malinowski joined Ludowe Wojsko Polskie, and fought as a sergeant in Kolobrzeg and Berlin.
