While studying at the Mickiewicz Gymnasium, Rodzka was friends with Jazep Sažyč and Barys Rahulia, together forming an anti-socialist social circle.

The social circle was supportive of Vasil Rahulia [be], a local Belarusian nationalist and agrarian politician who had been imprisoned by the Polish government.

[2] Following his release, Rodzka commonly travelled between Warsaw and Kraków, where he made contacts with Vincent Hadleŭski and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, respectively.

Alongside Hadleŭski, Rodzka allegedly helped to create the Belarusian Independence Party in 1940 in German-occupied Poland,[2] though other accounts have disputed the time and date of this.

[2] It has been claimed that Rodzka formulated plans to revolt against Germany, following the example of Bandera's 1941 declaration of independence and the subsequent creation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

Following Operation Bagration, existing plans for a revolt in 1944 were cancelled, with the Soviet Union being viewed as a more significant threat than Nazi Germany, and cooperation was strengthened between the Belarusian Independence Party and the Abwehr.

Rodzka felt a calling to be political and military leader of the anti-Soviet forces remaining in Belarus, and established contacts with the forest brothers in the Baltic States, as well as Bulba-Borovets and Bandera.

Rodzka subsequently fled to Białystok, where, according to various accounts, he either lived under an assumed name or was involved with a Polish woman through whom he intended to flee westwards.
