Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie dźwiękowe abstraktu. The re‐emerging Poland saw two concepts of the future Polish statehood: incorporation championed by Roman Dmowski and federation advocated by Józef Piłsudski. Attempts to draw the eastern border were initiated still during World War I. A conflict with the Ukrainians broke out in Galicia; the Ukrainians took Lviv and proclaimed the West Ukrainian People's Republic (ZUNR) (on the 1st of November 1918). The Poles managed to regain control of the city and force the Ukrainians off east of the Zbruch River. A cease‐fire between the conflicted sides was signed in September 1919. After the German forces' retreat early in 1919 from the eastern territories, the Bolshevik Army entered determined to achieve the vision of a world proletarian revolution. In April 1920, Józef Piłsudski entered into an alliance with the Ukrainian ataman, Symon Petlyura, and launched a joint offensive against the Red Army, ended with the capture of Kiev. A counteroffensive mounted by the Bolsheviks led to their win over the Poles, bringing them as far as to the outskirts of Warsaw. Task 1 Listen to the broadcast. How Józef Piłsudski thanked the residents of Lwów for their heroic defence of the city?

The Polish-Ukrainian fights over Lwów broke out on 1 November 1918. The Ukrainian people, a negligible minority of the city inhabitants at the me, made claims to the territory of Galicia between the Zbruch and the San Rivers. They considered Lwów a Ukrainian city and felt that the Poles should retreat west of the San River. The acon came as a surprise to the Polish people, the great majority of Lwów inhabitants. Regular fighng ensued aer public buildings in the city were occupied by Ukrainian soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army and the rise of the West Ukrainian People's Republic was proclaimed. Members of Polish conspiracy organisaons responded by forming into units which were spontaneously joined by university students, young boy scouts, secondary school students and younger schoolchildren, or the famous „Lwów Eaglets”. Outnumbered, they fought heroically and sacrificially against the Ukrainian forces in November 1918, demonstrang exceponal patriosm and heroism. The Polish Army came to their aid, including the troops from Kraków under the command of the then Colonel Michał Karaszewicz-Tokarzewski. Eaglets; defenders of the cemetery Source: Wojciech Kossak, domena publiczna. The defenders of Lwów only learnt from newspapers that Poland regained independence on 11 November 2018. The final bale for the city was fought on 21 November. Following heavy combat, on 22 November, the enre Lwów was already in the Polish hands. The troops of the Ukrainian Halych Army retreated from Lwów, starng the siege of the city. Hoslies connued, but faced with the offensive of the Polish Army, the Ukrainian forces gave up the siege and retreated on 22 May 1919. Those were the heroic days, but very tragic too, the local residents having suffered great losses. – „My men from Lwów, but Cracovians among them too, went into combat like for a dance, but the fight was tough”, said General Karaszewicz-Tokarzewski many years later talking to Radio Free Europe Polish Secon. The graves of the Lwów Eaglets are situated in the Lychakiv Cemetery, Lwów (now Lviv). In November 1920, on the 2nd anniversary of the Polish administraon taking over in Lwów, Marshal Józef Piłsudski made a visit to the city. He arrived to award it the highest Polish decoraon and the oldest military order, the Virtu Militari Cross. „Those several dozen days of struggle made Lwów a gallant soldier. Therefore, I, in my capacity as the Chief of State, whose role is to decorate the bravest of the brave and the boldest of the bold, have resolved that it is in my powers to confer the highest military disncon upon your city,” said Józef Piłsudski to the crowd of residents. The ceremony was staged in St. Mary's Square at the monument to Adam Mickiewicz. The Marshal decorated the escutcheon of the city's coat of arms. Unl World War II, Lwów remained the only Polish city to be awarded the Virtu Militari Order; Warsaw was the next.

Ten stan ciągłej niewoli, dobrze mi znanej osobiście, jako urodzonemu na tej nieszczęśliwej ziemi, raz nareszcie musi być zniesiony i raz wreszcie na tej ziemi, jakby przez Boga zapomnianej, musi zapanować swoboda i prawo wolnego, niczym nie skrępowanego wypowiedzenia się o dążeniach i potrzebach.

Exercise 1 Which of the land cessions made to Poland by Petlyura were unacceptable to the Ukrainians, do you think? It was Lwów because the Ukrainians wanted to make it their capital. It was Vohlynia because of its fertile soils. It was Eastern Galicia because it had the largest Ukrainian population. Exercise 2 Look at the posters from the period of the Polish–Soviet War.

The text is also available in French and Russian (see attached pdf files). The Battle of Warsaw was one of the most important moments of the Polish-Bolshevik war, one of the most decisive events in the history of Poland, Europe and the entire world. However, excluding Poland, this fact is almost completely unknown to the citizens of European countries. This phenomenon was noticed a decade after the battle had taken place by a British diplomat, Lord Edgar Vincent d’Abernon, a direct witness of the events. In his book of 1931 “The Eighteenth Decisive Battle of the World: Warsaw, 1920”, he claimed that in the contemporary history of civilisation there are, in fact, few events of greater importance than the Battle of Warsaw of 1920. There is also no other which has been more overlooked. To better understand the origin and importance of the battle of Warsaw, one needs to become acquainted with a short summary of the Polish-Bolshevik war and, first and foremost, to get to know the goals of both fighting sides. We ought to start with stating the obvious, namely, that the Bolshevik regime, led by Vladimir Lenin, was, from the very beginning, focused on expansion. Prof. Richard Pipes, a prolific American historian, stated: “the Bolsheviks took power not to change Russia, but to use it as a trampoline for world revolution”.

  • ON the EFFECTIVE USE of PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 © 2021 Andrew Peek All Rights Reserved
    ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE by Andrew Lewis Peek A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2021 2021 Andrew Peek All rights reserved Abstract This dissertation asks a simple question: how are states most effectively conducting proxy warfare in the modern international system? It answers this question by conducting a comparative study of the sponsorship of proxy forces. It uses process tracing to examine five cases of proxy warfare and predicts that the differentiation in support for each proxy impacts their utility. In particular, it proposes that increasing the principal-agent distance between sponsors and proxies might correlate with strategic effectiveness. That is, the less directly a proxy is supported and controlled by a sponsor, the more effective the proxy becomes. Strategic effectiveness here is conceptualized as consisting of two key parts: a proxy’s operational capability and a sponsor’s plausible deniability. These should be in inverse relation to each other: the greater and more overt a sponsor’s support is to a proxy, the more capable – better armed, better trained – its proxies should be on the battlefield. However, this close support to such proxies should also make the sponsor’s influence less deniable, and thus incur strategic costs against both it and the proxy. These costs primarily consist of external balancing by rival states, the same way such states would balance against conventional aggression. Conversely, the more deniable such support is – the more indirect and less overt – the less balancing occurs.

  • Sacred Places in Lviv – Their Changing Significance and Functions
    PrACE GEOGrAFICznE, zeszyt 137 Instytut Geografii i Gospodarki Przestrzennej UJ Kraków 2014, 91 – 114 doi : 10.4467/20833113PG.14.011.2156 Sacred placeS in lviv – their changing Significance and functionS Małgorzata Flaga Abstract : In the paper, issues of a multitude of functions of sacred places in Lviv are considered. The problem is presented on the example of selected religious sites that were established in distinct periods of the development of the city and refers to different religious denomina- tions. At present, various functions are mixing in the sacred complexes of Lviv. The author tries to formulate some general conclusions concerning their contemporary role and leading types of activity. These findings are based, most of all, on analyses of the facts related to the history of Lviv, circumstances of its foundation, various transformations, and modern func- tions of the selected sites. Keywords : Lviv, Western Ukraine, religious diversity, functions of religious sites introduction Lviv, located in the western part of Ukraine, is a city with an incredibly rich his- tory and tradition. It was founded in an area considered to be a kind of political, ethnic and religious borderland. For centuries the influence of different cultures, ethnic and religious groups met there and the city often witnessed momentous historical events affecting the political situation in this part of Europe. The com- munity of the thriving city was a remarkable mosaic of nationalities and religious denominations from the very beginning. On the one hand, these were representa- tives of the Latin West ( first – Catholics, later on – Protestants ), on the other hand – the Byzantine East.

Of the department of Mineralogy, Petrography and Geochemistry Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Ukraine GEOLOGICAL NARRATIVE OF HISTORICAL GALICIAN CEMETERIES IN TERMS OF RESTORATION Abstract. The historic cemetery is an integral part of the architectural landscape of each city, the confirmation of ideology, the spiritual and economic life of its time. Cemeteries dating back to the second half of the 18th century have been preserved in many cities of Galicia. Now we call them historical cemeteries. Most of them are no longer in use and are filled not only with historical but also artistic monuments made mainly of stone. Such cemeteries require constant care and uninterrupted supervision. Preserving the physical substance of these cemeteries is a great challenge and a difficult task. To do this, it is necessary to conduct mineralogical and petrographic studies of the stone material of the historic cemeteries of Galicia. The state of preservation of natural stone, which is most common in the historical cemeteries of Galicia, was analyzed, the types of this stone damage were investigated. Also, preventive measures to preserve the stone material of the historic cemeteries of Galicia are proposed. Keywords: architecture, restoration, cemetery, heritage, work of art, natural stone, geology Our ancestors, having accepted Christianity for the burial of the dead, adapted to the traditions of the new religion. It was also a way of honoring the deceased which was customary to bury (od sanctos) in the holy land - in the church or near it.
