Pułkownik Matuszewski. Jedna Rodzina – Trzy Virtuti
210 PRZEGLĄD BEZPIECZEŃSTWA WEWNĘTRZNEGO 7/12 Andrzej Krzysztof Kunert Pułkownik Matuszewski. Jedna rodzina – trzy Virtuti 4 października 2004 r. w Berlinie w kościele Św. Mateusza licząca przeszło czterysta osób publiczność uczestniczyła w uroczystym otwarciu polskiej wystawy Warschau – Hauptstadt der Freiheit (Warszawa – stolica Wolności), prezentowanej w pobliskim Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand – Muzeum Niemieckiego Ruchu Oporu (miałem zaszczyt być autorem scenariusza tej ekspozycji). Główny mówca ze strony niemieckiej gorąco zachęcał obecnych do obejrzenia wystawy, kończąc swoje wystąpienie słowami: Uczmy się od Polaków, czym jest wolność. Tym mówcą był Joachim Gauck, dziś od dziesięciu dni prezydent Niemiec... Z dużym zainteresowaniem przeczytałem w czwartym numerze wydawanego przez Centralny Ośrodek Szkolenia ABW „Przeglądu Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego” artykuł prof. Włodzimierza Sulei o płk. Ignacym Matuszewskim, jednym z szefów Oddziału II Sztabu Generalnego Wojska Polskiego w niepodległej II Rzeczypospolitej. Pomyślałem, iż warto ten tekst znamienitego historyka dopełnić krótką opowieścią o niezwykłej rodzinie Matuszewskich, szczycącej się trzema Orderami Virtuti Militari. * * * Pułkownik dyplomowany Ignacy Hugo Matuszewski urodził się 10 września 1891 r. w Warszawie.

SUMMARY Although the Olympic Organization, Namely the Polish
ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE, KINANTHROPOLOGICA Vol. 47, 2 – 2011 Pag. 38–50 Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Department of Kinanthropology, Humanities and Management of Sport OLYMPISM IN POLAND IN SYSTEM OF COMMUNIST SPORT AND HIS RENNAISANCE AFTER 1989 Kristina Jakubcová SUMMARY Although the Olympic organization, namely the Polish Olympic Committee (PKOL) is the youngest one of Central European countries there has been promoted the Olympic idea by many enthusiasts since the time of the restoration of the modern Olympic Games. Despite the initial distrust of intellectuals and of the public after the First World War Olympism was being quickly developing. After the Second World War, it was used by the Communist power only as a weapon for a rivalry with the imperialist powers and with the Communist rivals. The Olympic Committee was entirely subordinated to the state organization and since fifties they had a common chairman as well. The subordinate position had its advantage - the income of the state money was not very limited. After the fall of the communist regime and the threat of splitting PKOL gained independence, but also had to start looking for other financial resources than the state treasury. Key words: Poland, Olympic Committee, Communism INTRODUCTION Poles were in a very different situation than the Czechs and Hungarians at the time of renewal of the modern Olympic Games. Their territory was divided among three state units1. Therefore, it was impossible to establish the Polish Olympic Committee in time when Congress for restoration of the Olympic Games in Paris was held in June 1894, although it was written about it in the Polish press. -
Beginnings of the Józef Piłsudski Institute in New York (1943-1956)
Studies into the History of Russia and Central-Eastern Europe ■ XLVII Krzysztof Langowski Beginnings of the Józef Piłsudski Institute in New York (1943-1956) Summary: Józef Piłsudski Institute was founded in New York, July 4, 1943. The main aim was to maintain constant and independent scientific research facility dealing not only with collecting and organizing historical documents, but also with popularizing unadulterated knowledge about Poland and its recent history. From its earliest days the Institute was based on financial support granted by Polish activists and on membership fees, as well as on larger donations from some members. Since the late forties, when KNAPP activity slowly began to fade, actions and state- ments of people associated with the Institute were regarded as guidelines for independence envi- ronments. These people formed very cohesive environment, being faithful to Piłsudski heritage, negated any compromises with regard to Polish independence. It was strongly anticommunist rejecting all contacts with PRL institutions. Thanks to the energetic work of people connected with the facility rapidly grew both archival and library collections. In 1949 the collection in the library had grown to 2500 books, periodicals reached up to 800 titles. To the library came valuable Polish diplomatic archives, collections of different personalities, as well as documents showing the huge effort of organizations of Poles, who after the end of the war were on the territory of West Germany. Keywords: Józef Piłsudski Institute in New York, KNAPP, National Committee of Americans of Polish Descent Part I (1943-1950) The first plans connected with organizing the Józef Piłsudski Institute in the United States of America dated back to 1942. -

Kwartalnik Historyczny Vol. CXXIV, 2017 Special Issue, pp. 141–158 PL ISSN 0023-5903 MAREK KORNAT Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw THE FIRST TREACHERY OF THE WEST.* ON THE BOOK BY ANDRZEJ NOWAK Abstract: The Polish-Soviet War (1919–20) is one of the key events in the process of implementation of the Versailles order in Eastern Europe. Having saved the Versailles deal, the war gave the nations of Central and Eastern Europe an extremely valuable opportunity, for twenty years, to decide about themselves and build their own nation states on the remnants of three empires, which disintegrated in the aftermath of the geopolitical revolution brought by the Great War (1914–18). From the very beginning, the West did not understand the geopolitical significance of the Polish-Soviet War, seen as a local conflict of two countries, triggered by ‘Polish imperialism’. Keywords: Versailles deal,Polish-Soviet War 1919–20,Great Britain, appeasement. Pierwsza zdrada Zachodu. 1920 — zapomniany appeasement [The First Treachery of the West. 1920 — the Forgotten Appeasement] by Andrzej Nowak is undoubted- ly a summary of the author’s longstanding investigation into the significance 1 of the Polish-Soviet War to Poland, Europe and the world. The resulting work is important in research terms. The fact that it prompts reflection and poses numerous questions make it a model monograph, with a narrative which at- tempts to resolve an important research problem on the basis of new sources, in spite of the existing ample historiography of the topic. The source materials come principally from British archives. -

Reborn Poland Or Reconstructed Empire? Questions on The
LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 13 2008 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 127–150 REBORN POLAND OR RECONSTRUCTED EMPIRE? QUESTIONS ON THE COURSE AND RESULTS OF POLISH EASTERN POLICY (1918–1921) Andrzej Nowak ABSTRACT The article presents the main geopolitical concepts of Polish foreign politics and military strategy between 1918 and 1921. The author discusses two general programmes of policy towards Poland’s neighbours to the East: the ‘federalist’ option associated with Józef Piłsudski, and the ‘incorporationist’ option of Roman Dmowski. The analysis is concentrated around the efforts to realize the former programme. Starting from a detai- led analysis of Piłsudski’s instructions to the Polish delegation to the Paris Peace Conference at the end of 1918, through a special mission of Michał Römer sent to Lithuania in April 1919, and reasons of its failure, the author turns to a history of the ‘Ukrainian card’, played by Piłsudski in 1919 and 1920 in order to achieve a geopolitical counter-balance to any Russian/Soviet imperialism. Finally, the article deals with the meaning of the Piłsudski’s eastern policy as one of the main factors which stopped the westward drive of Soviet Russia for the next 20 years. A ghost haunted nineteenth-century Europe – the ghost of the Polish Commonwealth: a great country, with a centuries-old tradition of sta- tehood within more or less stable borders, although borders that would constantly and gradually be cut out in the East. The borders from the year 1772, that is from before the first partition, were strongly ingrai- ned in the historical consciousness of not only the country’s citizens or their heirs, but equally in the memory of the political elites of the great powers that carried out the partitions and benefited from them. -
Dreams of the Olympic Warsaw: Uncompleted Projects of Olympic Infrastructure in the Capital of Poland in the 20Th Century - an Outline
Dreams of the Olympic Warsaw: Uncompleted projects of Olympic infrastructure in the capital of Poland in the 20th century - an outline. Kamil Bartosz Potrzuski Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw (Poland) [email protected] Abstract The aim of this study is to attempt to synthetically describe the activities performed in Warsaw in order to prepare the city for the organisation of the summer Olympic Games. Dreams and plans for the capital of Poland to become an Olympic city were presented just after regaining the independence and the establisment of Polish Olympic Committee in the early 1920s, under the rule of the charismatic city mayor Stefan Starzyński in 1930s, during the capital’s restoration after WWII destruction in 1940s, and after the political transformation in 1990s. However, none of them has been achieved due to logistical, economic and political difficulties. In the article, it is attempted to recap and compare these unfulfilled investment plans based on archival, printed, press and memoiristic sources.

Retrieved from http://diagorasjournal.com/index.php/diagoras/article/view/101 255 Introduction In 1795, after the 3rd and final partition between Russia, Prussia and Austria, the Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth disappeared from the maps of Europe. The majority of Poles never truly accepted the necessity to live under foreign administration. Therefore, a number of uprisings were held, with the longest one – the January Uprising – in 1863. -
The Beginnings of the Józef Piłsudski Institute in New York (1943‑1956)
Studies into the History of Russia and Central-Eastern Europe ■ XLVIII Krzysztof Langowski Warsaw The beginnings of the Józef Piłsudski Institute in New York (1943‑1956). Part II (1951‑1956) Outline: This is the second part of an article devoted to people who made a lot of effort to build an independent research institute with an archival base dedicated to promoting knowledge about Poland and its history. The Józef Piłsudski Institute was financially supported by the Polish com‑ munity abroad, membership fees, and larger donations by some of its members and sympathisers. Keywords: New York, the Józef Piłsudski Institute, independence circles in the USA In 1951, the Institute suffered severe losses because of the death of some of its key founding members, e.g. Stefan Łodzieski, the Chairman of the Institute, and Henryk Floyar‑Rajchman, the deputy chairman. In addition, Juliusz Łukasiewicz, a mem‑ ber‑correspondent, committed suicide in Washington. Also, Franciszek Januszewski, a founder of the Institute and its previous Chairman, died on April 10, 1953. This death was really painful as he had planned to purchase a building in New York for the needs of the Institute1. The Institute’s cooperation with other institutions both in New York and beyond developed apace in subsequent years. The Vatican Library, the British Museum, Yale University, the Polish Library in Paris, the Polish University Abroad in London, the Alliance College in Cambridge Springs in Pennsylvania, the Library of Congress in Washington, the Polish University of London, the University of California in Los Angeles, the Journal of Central European Affairs – the University of Colorado in Boulder (Colorado) joined the already mentioned institutions, i.e. -
