Tomasz Marciniak COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAMME TO COMBAT SOCIAL EXCLUSION 2002-2006 TRANSNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMME: PHASE II COMBATING SOCIAL EXCLUSION OF ETHNIC MINORITIES & IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES THROUGH CULTURE VS/2003/0644 NATIONAL REPORT OF GOOD PRACTICE POLAND Prepared by NICOLAUS COPERNICUS UNIVERSITY November 2004 Torun, Poland 1 1. INTRODUCTION Poland is a country where ethnic and national minorities constitute about 3% - 4% of the total population (38 millions). According to the Ministry of Interior and Administration's data, Poland is inhabited by the representatives of nine national minorities: Byelorussians, Czechs, Lithuanians, Germans, Armenians, Russians, Slovaks, Ukrainians, Jews and four ethnic minorities: Karaites, Lemkos, Roma, and Tatars. Except for large-scale national minorities: Byelorussians, Ukrainians, Germans, Lithuanians and others there are some groups which at the moment consider themselves as Poles: Kashubians, old Armenians, Tatars and Masurians. Analysing the question of “strangers” in Poland today, we should also take into account a small number of immigrants and refugees. Such groups have been appearing in our country since the beginning of the nineties. According to the Nationwide Census which was carried in the year 2002, in Poland live: Bulgarians, Italians, Greeks, Americans, Frenchmen, and Vietnamese. Kaszubians and Silesians are Poles with strong self-feeling of alternation of their regional cultures1. Most of national minority organizations emphasize that data from the last census aren’t really reliable. To the question of nationality, only one answer could be given. While, in their opinion, a large number of these organizations` members see themselves as Poles at the same time. Further, numerous refusals to enter other nationality than Polish were noted down. Nationality of many people was not specified (774 885) or only `not Polish` nationality was entered (4227).A big number of people were not included in the research. This is the source of differences between the Nationwide Census and the real number of minority members. Because of this, not only the register but also the estimated data are given in the text. The estimated number of minorities: Byelorussians 500.000 Ukrainians 300.000 Germans 300.000 Lemkos 30.000 Czechs 3.000 Slovaks 20.000 Jews 7.000 Armenians 7.000 (without new immigration) 1 Nationwide Census 2002 data. 2 Lithuanians 20.000 Gypsies 30.000 Karaites 180 Tartars 7.000 The issues of indigenous minorities and immigrants are closely connected, so it seems that the basic question for such groups is the formal law, regulating their privileges and duties in our country. The persecutions of the former regime towards minority groups depended on the size of minority population. This situation changed in 1989 when the new law on associations was passed. The next step was made in 1998 – but regulations dealing with foreigners are seen by them as non-practical and complicated, which make handicaps as for permits for legal stay and work in Poland. The next significant question is ethnic stereotypes and prejudices. For example, a Ukrainian minority counts about 180 thousand people. They live on its indigenous territories in the southeast Poland and on the Western and North terrains incorporated in the country after the Second World War. They did not choose the latter place of settlement - as the effect of the so-called "Action W» (1947) and up to now it is felt as strange for them. My findings from 1992 – 1995 show that the negative opinions held so far are but partly modified by daily contacts. A positive feature, which seems to if shake the prevailing Polish stereotype is, for e.g. instance the diligence of the Ukrainians. Nevertheless, many of the formerly circulating stereotypes have survived and are still pretty lively. Everyday coexistence, not the media relations, is the best way to accept the “strange”! But we should have no stereotypes towards new “strangers” – immigrants. A few newcomers from India, Vietnam, Pakistan, Africa, former Yugoslavia or USSR ore only “drop in the sea” of our ethnic questions. But, as I mentioned above, such a sea seems to be rather an inner lake…. Nevertheless, bad stereotypes might create social attitudes, unacceptable in modern world: racism, xenophobia, and nationalism. States and nations of the early 21st century are not immune to such illnesses. If something like distinct inter-group conflicts do happen, the ethnic factor should play a secondary role, whereas, there appear tensions of universal character, which occur in every community: family and neighbourly problems or disputes between the employer and the employee. The third question is schooling. Part of groups mentioned above, some folk and ethnic ones until this moment have not tried to open schools different from the Polish ones, neither have they demanded to teach local traditions. During the communist period only some of ethnic minorities had a privilege to... own schools and cultural organisations. It seems that the role of schooling in maintaining national identity is significant. But at the beginning of political breakthrough in Poland Germans had problems with their learning and teaching; Gypsies still do not have their own system of schools and their cultural transmission still keeps a very traditional way, with some help from the 3 Catholic Church. Compulsory elementary education for immigrants’ children is retained to fulfil international law, standards of, but sometimes practice in Poland is rather different. The next important question for all immigrant and minority groups can be lack of formal contacts with many of migrant countries. Additionally, we have no embassies, no acceptable number of translators and specialists in cultural differentiation of newcomers. It's obvious that the possibility of foreign contacts and aid in reinforcing group identity is very desirable - in the case of our desire to see Poland as a country rich in cultures. The ethnic richness could be a treasure – it seems there is a good moment to be gifted. 4 2. INDIGENOUS NATIONAL END ETHNIC MINORITIES AND THEIR CULTURAL ACTIVITIES Byelorussians are a national minority traditionally resident in a Podlaskie province. The size of this group, according to many sources, can estimated at 200 000 to even 400 000 people. By the results of Nationwide Census, the Byelorussian minority was background declared by 47 6402 citizens of Poland. Most of them (over 46 0003) inhabit Podlaskie province. They also live in: Mazovian, Warmia and Mazury, Lubelskie, Pomeranian and also in West Pomeranian provinces. The Byelorussian minority of Podlaskie province is mostly accumulated in the South- West part of this province. This group makes up almost 40 percent of people of Hajnówka administrative district. Between Hajnówka and Bielsk Podlaski there are four communes in which the Byelorussian minority is dominant constituting almost 80 percent of the local population. The Byelorussian community is a significant political power in the Podlaskie province. They have representatives in local authorities and they create the majority in the councils of some districts and communes. There are two members of the Parliament and one Senator from the Belarusian minority (all from SLD-UP). The Byelorussian language is taught to 3 664 pupils in 40 public schools.4 Nearly all teachers are qualified to teach the Byelorussian language, since they are graduates from higher philological studies. The majority of this group cultivates Byelorussian culture and tradition. As a proof we can regard the fact that a lot of Byelorussians are members of organizations which make a great number of cultural festivals. Majority of Byelorussians are members of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The main organizations: Byelorussian Association in the Republic of Poland, Programme Council of the “Niwa” weekly magazine, Byelorussian Social and Cultural Society, Byelorussian Literary Association “Białowieża”, Byelorussian Democratic Union, Byelorussian Youth Union. Major press titles: the “Niwa” – weekly magazine, the “Czasopis” – monthly magazine, “Byelorussian Historic Notebooks” – semi-annual magazine. Major cultural events: Byelorussian Youth Music Festival “Basowiszcza”, Festival of “Byelorussian Song” in Białystok, Byelorussian Cultural Festival in Białystok, “Kupalle” Holiday in Białowieża. 2 Data from www.mswia.gov.pl 3 Ibidem 4 Ibidem 5 Czechs – the minority, which counts, according to many sources, from three thousand to four thousand people. In Nationwide Census, Czech nationality was declared by 3865 citizens of Poland. Representatives of Czechs minority resident in: Łódzkie, Silesian, Lower Silesian and Mazovian provinces. Mainly settled in the area of Kłodzka Valley and in Zelów (near Piotrków Trybunalski). The first groups of Czechs came to Poland starting from the 16th through the 18th centuries. They were mainly Evangelists who had to flee their country from religious persecutions. In the first half of the 17th century and the second half of the 18th century further emigration waves had place. Czechs created well organized centres in Wielkopolska and Silesia. Some 38 thousand of Czechs lived in the Second Republic of Poland (1931 Census). Most of them were handicraftsmen and workmen. A Czech minority didn’t take part in Polish political life. However, it is essential to continue their traditional and national character. There were Czech’s schools in Volhyn, Czech’s Matrix School and other local organizations like Agriculture Society and Sport

  • Etnogenéza Slovanov, Ich Migrácie Na Západ a Počiatky
    ETNOGENÉZA SLOVANOV, ICH MIGRÁCIE NA ZÁPAD A POČIATKY ZÁPADOSLOVANSKÝCH NÁRODOV1 ŠTÚDIE Peter ŠALKOVSKÝ Abstract: Ethnogenesis of slavs and their migration at the west and beginnings of western-slav nations. The paper deals with the state of research of the beginnings of a large group of tribes called in the 6th century by the ancient authors as “Sclavini, Anti, Veneti”, from the 9th century with its own name - “Slovene, slovenski narod, slovensko plemja”. They called themselves Slavs in the 9th - 11th centuries, although they also used many tribal or regional names. Nowadays, unprepared, alive, though contradictory, only two main concepts of Slavic origin can be considered: 1. Autochthonic Western theory represents an opinion on the original settlements of the Slavs between Oder and Vistula, and contemplates the participation in the formation of the Slavs from some local mostly Germanic cultures of Roman times, but the above-mentioned territories have been left in the 5th century; 2. Most European researchers are more likely to model the eastern (allochonic) concept of Slavic origin and their subsequent migration to Central, Western, Southern and Eastern Europe. According to that, the Slavic crystallization took place in the area bounded by the upper Vistula and the Carpathians in the west and the central flow of Dnieper in the east. By the new archaeological researches grows the number of archaeological complexes in which exist precisely dated Slavic components from 5th century together with elements of previous cultures mainly Kyjev and part of Chernyakhov culture. Slavic migrations running since the end of the 5th century. to the territories of By- zantium, the former Roman provinces and their northern periphery are historically indisputable.

  • Pavel B. Lukin Assemblies and Councils in Medieval Novgorod and Western Pomerania How Did Medieval Novgorod Differ Politically F
    Pavel B. Lukin Assemblies and Councils in Medieval Novgorod and Western Pomerania How did Medieval Novgorod differ politically from other Old Russian states? In a number of ways, of course, and experts may argue over which of them was the most important. One particularly striking feature of Novgorod’s political system was the extent to which collectivity played a role—and although collective political institutions did exist in other Russian states during certain historical periods, they never attained the same significance as in northwestern Rus’ (in Novgorod and in its “little brother,” Pskov). It is impossible to give an account of Novgorod’s history without discussing the veche and the Masters’ Council. And yet no other feature of Novgorod's political system has caused so much historiographical controversy as the veche and the Masters’ Council. However, some questions have recently been answered, due largely to a more complete study of Russian sources, as well as a consideration of the 13th-15th century Hanseatic documents in Latin and Low German—which, until now, have not been used much at all in socio-political research on Novgorod. First of all, was the Novgorod veche actually a political institution? Was it a governmental authority at all? Or (as some historians have it) did the veche simply refer to a sector of the population getting together actively? Was the veche merely a word for “the tumult of the crowd”? German merchants reported to Reval in 1407 that during business deals, “they [Russians] composed a deed in the veche [in

    ZINĀTNISKIE RAKSTI https://doi.org/10.22364/lviz.110.01 VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GERMANS AND WENDS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE TENTH CENTURY1* Mihai Dragnea PhD, Balkan History Association, President, Bucharest; Editor-in-Chief of Hiperboreea, an online academic journal published biannually by the BHA. Research interests: relations between Germans and Wends during the High Middle Ages, focusing especially on crusading and conversion. This study has provided a brief analysis of the linguistic interactions and ver- bal communication between Germans and Wends. What we noticed is that there is no Slavic language which has been unaffected by political and social influences from other dominant cultures. In the second half of the tenth cen- tury, cultural identity was linked more with political alliances than with lan- guage. Learning of German was a political reality which varied according to time and context. In order to maintain good relations with the Saxon nobi- lity, the Wendish elites needed to know German. This would have ensured a direct, unambiguous communication. Translators could interfere with the messages and generate conflicts. Some of the Wendish elites could have known Latin as well. As tributaries of Saxon margraves and dukes, they could have signed documents regarding their obligations. Therefore, a sort of ethnic consciousness was more developed among the Wendish upper classes than lower class. Key words: linguistic interactions, cultural borders, Wends, Duchy of Saxony, Thietmar of Merseburg, Adam of Bremen, Helmold of Bosau. * This research was conducted at the Faculty of Catholic Theology within the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz and it was supported by the EU-funded project “Research Infrastructure on Religious Studies – ReI- ReS” (Scholarships for Transnational Access), grant agreement ID: 730895.

  • Die Münzen Brandenburgs Von Der Frühen Markgrafenzeit Bis Zur Herrschaft Der Letzeburger
    Die Münzen Brandenburgs von der frühen Markgrafenzeit bis zur Herrschaft der Letzeburger Beitrag von Detlef Fritz Inhalt: Die Provinzen der Mark Brandenburg Anonyme Prägungen vor der Markgrafen-Zeit Slawische Herrscher Die askanischen Markgrafen Die Wittelsbacher Markgrafen und Kurfürsten Die Luxemburger Markgrafen und Kurfürsten Eine historisch gegliederten Sammlung brandenburgischer Münzen aus der Zeit vor der Gründung des Königreichs Preußen im Jahre 1701 führt uns in eines der ärmsten und am dünnsten besiedelten Herrschaftsgebiete am östlichen Rand des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nation, in ein Land, das für Jahrhunderte zwischen deutschen und slawischen Bevölkerungsteilen hart umkämpft ist. Allerdings sind die Grenzen dieses historischen Brandenburgs nicht mit dem modernen Bundesland identisch. Die ursprüngliche Mark Brandenburg der Markgrafen gliederte sich zunächst in folgende Provinzen: Mittelmark, ursprünglich Neumark genannt. Unter dem Namen Neumark wurden 1348 die Landstriche Barnim, Havelland, Zauche, Teltow und Lebus zusammengefasst. Münzen geprägt werden in der Mittelmark in Alt-Ruppin (1256 erstmals erwähnt), Berlin (seit 1280 nachweisbar), Frankfurt (früheste Urkunde allerdings erst von 1365), Spandau (1319), Brandenburg (1286), Görzke (1293) und Lebus (1252). Altmark: Die ursprüngliche Bezeichnung dieser Region lautet noch auf "Marchia"; 1324 taucht erstmals die Bezeichnung Altmark auf, noch später die Bezeichnung "Marchia transalbeana". Zur Altmark gehören Stendal, im Zusammenhang mit Münzprägung erstmals 1232 erwähnt, und Salzwedel, erste Erwähnung 1239. Priegnitz, bis ins 14. Jahrhundert als "Terra Havelberg" bezeichnet. Dazu gehören die Städte Kyritz und Perleberg. Ein urkundlicher Hinweis auf eine Münzstätte in Kyritz stammt aus dem Jahr 1245, Perleberg taucht 1347 urkundlich auf. Uckermark: Die Ukrani waren ein wendischer Volksstamm, die hier im 10. Jahrhundert siedelten. Die Bezeichnung "Ucra" ist erstmals für 1158 nachgewiesen, im 15.
