Jej autor, stylizując się na osiemnastowieczną polszczyznę, w dowcipny sposób nawiązywał do zaprzysiężenia Augusta Zaleskiego na stanowisku prezydenta RP1. Po śmierci prezydenta Władysława Raczkiewicza w 1947 roku emigrantów podzie- lił spór o obsadę stanowiska głowy państwa. Konkurentami do fotela prezydenckiego byli Tomasz Arciszewski, premier rządu, desygnowany w 1944 roku na następcę pre- zydenta oraz August Zaleski, były minister spraw zagranicznych i urzędujący szef kancelarii cywilnej prezydenta, którego śmiertelnie chory Raczkiewicz w ostatnich tygodniach życia wyznaczył swoim następcą. Zmiany tej nie uznał Arciszewski i jego stronnictwo — Polska Partia Socjalistyczna. Zgodnie z decyzją Raczkiewicza po jego śmierci nowym prezydentem 9 czerwca 1947 roku został Zaleski. Socjaliści, powołując się na „umowę paryską”, przypominali, że Raczkiewicz, obejmując w 1939 roku urząd prezydenta, oświadczył, że będzie korzystał ze swoich konstytucyjnych uprawnień „w ścisłym porozumieniu” z premierem. Ponieważ prezydent wyznaczył swojego no- wego następcę bez konsultacji z szefem rzą du oraz socjalistami, ci uznali ją za bez- prawną. Kryzys czerwcowy miał bardzo poważne konsekwencje. Doprowadził nie tylko do dymisji gabinetu Arciszewskiego, ale przede wszystkim do ciągnącego się przez następne ćwierć wieku sporu o prezydenturę oraz dekompozycji „polskiego” Londynu i formalnego zdublowania emigracyjnych władz2.

  • The Soviet Threat in Stanisław Cat-Mackiewicz's
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI II, 2017 STANISŁAW ŻERKO Poznań THE SOVIET THREAT IN STANISŁAW CAT-MACKIEWICZ’S JOURNALISTIC WRITINGS DURING WORLD WAR II Stanisław Mackiewicz, known as Cat-Mackiewicz – the pseudonym1 he assumed in the 1920s – is still recognised as one of the most prominent Polish political journal- ists and historical essayists. He also wrote about literary history, and was particularly well known as a specialist in and admirer of Russian literature. He was a prolific writer. He wrote “21 books, 55 pamphlets, and over 300 papers which were a page or column long.”2 His recently published Selected Writings, edited by Jan Sadkiewicz, already comprise 19 volumes, and more are to be published. Mackiewicz’s writings have not ceased to be of great interest, and younger readers are enthusiastic when they discover them, which is to be expected. One of the youngest reviewers of Mac- kiewicz’s Selected Writings wrote: “I do not hesitate to call Stanisław Mackiewicz the most outstanding Polish journalist of the last century.”3 Mackiewicz was a conservative, a monarchist, a supporter of Piłsudski and a lead- ing Polish Germanophile, and a writer and journalist with an extraordinarily colourful personality. His biography by Jerzy Jaruzelski4 is an excellent account of the above. Between World Wars I and II the Słowo [Word] daily was published in Vilnius, and Cat-Mackiewicz was its editor-in-chief. Various aspects of his and his colleagues’ political writings published there are also analysed in his biography. Słowo was not a provincial daily, but was available and read in all major Polish cities.

  • ARTYKUŁ Last Will of the Polish Undergound State Author: Marek Gałęzowski 01.12.2019
    Schemat Polskiego Państwa Podziemnego. Źródło: portal Polskiego Radia S.A. ARTYKUŁ Last Will of the Polish Undergound State Author: Marek Gałęzowski 01.12.2019 The partition of Poland by Germany and the Soviet Union in September 1939 did not force Poles to capitulate. The interned president of Poland in Romania, Ignacy Mościcki appointed his successor on the basis of the constitution – Władysław Raczkiewicz, who in turn appointed the government with gen. Władysław Sikorski as its leader. Despite the occupation of the Polish land by Germany and the USSR, the continuity of the Polish state was preserved. Its officials, recognised by the free societies of the world, led the fight for independence abroad throughout the entire war, first in France, then after its fall, in Great Britain. Last shots of the soldiers of the Polish Army hadn’t gone silent yet in their unfair struggle against two aggressors, when the underground resistance began forming. The commitment full of patriotism and sacrifice and the organisational abilities of tens of thousands of Poles, from all walks of life, led to the creation of the Polish Underground State. The Polish Underground State had no similar counterpart in other countries of occupied Europe, where the resistance against the Third Reich had a much smaller percentage of citizens involved. What’s more, nowhere else, apart from Yugoslavia, did such huge underground armed forces as in Poland were created. The Underground State in occupied Poland was subordinate to the authorities of the government-in-exile. The Home Army was the equivalent of the armed forces and during the time of war it also performed some judicial functions (it had supervision over the Special Court Martials which were being established since 1942).

    Poland First to Fight Poland First to Fight Bogusław Kopka, Paweł Kosiński Muzeum ii Wojny Światowej Gdańsk 2018 Poland was the first country to firmly resist the brutal expansion of the totalitarian powers that were utterly indifferent to the rights of weaker countries. Poland’s armed resistance to German aggression on September 1, 1939, was a turning point in world politics towards the Third Reich.

Later, it brought many nations under Soviet domination for almost fifty years and left the world divided in the Cold War. Poland fell victim to the aggression of both totalitarian systems, German national socialism and Soviet communism. The Ribbentrop-Molotov pact entered into by the Third Reich and Soviet Union on 23 August 1939 was the prelude to a global conflict, started on 1 September 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland, the first country to demonstrate ac- tual armed resistance against the aggressor, ending the string of Berlin’s peaceful con- quests.

  • The Polish Community in Scotland Thomas Kernberg
    THE POLISH COMMUNITY IN SCOTLAND THOMAS KERNBERG PH.D. INSTITUTE OF SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW OCTOBER, 1990 (c) THOMAS KERNBERG, 1990 PREFACE. My reason for undertaking the research for this thesis was a very personal one: my father, the late Tadeusz Ziarski-Kernberg, was one of the Polish servicemen who settled in Scotland as a result of the Second World War. Since my childhood I have been closely associated with the Polish community in Edinburgh. When I decided to study an aspect of Polish history it was only natural that I should turn to 'my own people' for subject material. As soon as I expressed an interest in this subject for a Ph.D. thesis, I received the support of my supervisor, Professor W.V. Wallace, the Director of the Institute of Soviet and East European Studies at the University of Glasgow. In addition to the unfailing encouragement and patient supervision of Professor Wallace, this thesis would not have been possible without the support of the Polish community and the access I received to Polish archive materials. In particular I would like to thank Mr. W.kadys4-aw Bednarek, Mr. Jan Stepek and the Committee of the Polish Social and Educational Association (Glasgow), Mr. JOzef Be+towski, the late Mr. Zygmunt TchOrzewski and the Second Army Corps Association (Edinburgh), the late Mrs. Margaret Maurer, the late Mrs. Maria Rej and the late Mr. JOzef Rej.
