Kadrówka March 2014 2014-07-23 A hundred years ago, on August 6th 1914, by orders of Marshal Józef Piłsudski, the First Cadre Company (Kadrówka) departed for combat from Oleandry in Krakow. The soldiers departed at daybreak and at 9:45 a.m. brought down the border poles of the partitioning states in Michałowice. Having liberated Słomniki, Miechów, Jędrzejów and Chęcin, they reached Kielce on August 12th. Kadrówka was the first regular formation of the Polish armed forces created after the January uprising. It was later to develop into the Polish Legions whose armed effort during WWI contributed to the Polish struggle for independence finally regained in 1918. In 1924, to commemorate the campaign of the First Cadre Company, the former legionnaires initiated a march retracing Kadrówka's route. The march was held regularly until 1939 and was the largest event of its kind in Poland. The participants included young members of the Rifle Association and soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces. The idea of holding the march was re-explored during the memorable August of 1981 among independence activists in the regions of Małopolska and Świętokrzyskie. At that time, the march was a patriotic demonstration, strongly opposed by the communist government. After 1989, the pre-war formula of the march was re-introduced. The sporting event with a military background lasts from August 6th to 12th. The participants depart from Krakow and continue trough Michałowice, Słomniki, Miechów, Wodzisaław, Jędzrzejów, Chojny nad Nidą, Chęciny, Szewce to Kielce. They get the opportunity to personally meet those who fought for Polish independence, participate in orienteering and shooting competitions as well as cultural and educational events and contests focusing on Marshall Piłsudzki and the Legions. Every year, the march organized by the Piłsudzki Followers Association is joined by a growing number of participants. This year, the route from Krakow to Kielce will be covered by members of rifle associations, scouts, soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces, members of the Border Guard, civilians as well as young people from Vilnius and surroundings. Karolina Kaczorowska the spouse of Ryszard Kaczorowski the last President of Poland in exile, granted the event her honorary patronage. See also: 2014 PROGRAMME Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

On Tuesday morning, President Duda marked the 8th anniversary of the 2010 Smolensk air disaster by laying flowers at the Wawel Cathedral crypt in Krakow, the final resting place of President Lech Kaczynski and First Lady Maria Kaczynska. The ceremony was attended by Marta Kaczynska, the late first couple's daughter. Earlier, President Duda attended a mass in the crypt. In the crypt, there is also a plaque commemorating the Smolensk disaster victims bearing a Latin sentence "Corpora dormiunt, vigilant animae" (bodies are sleeping, spirits keep watching), an inscription: "In memory of the victims of the disaster in Smolensk on April 10, 2010" and the names of the victims. After the ceremony in Wawel, the President said that Tuesday's ceremony "looked the same as every year since that memorable moment". "It can be said that this is the ritual of the tenth of April," he added. "On April 10, 2010, many people passed away, people who were treasures for Poland, a great hope for Polish politics, Polish public life and probably nothing can replace this loss," President Andrzej Duda stressed. He also said he believes that "sooner or later it will be possible to explain the Smolensk tragedy." After that the Polish President at Warsaw's Powazki Military Cemetery paid tribute to the victims of the 2010 Smolensk air disaster.

Prezydenci RP Na Uchodźstwie Wobec Obchodów Świąt Narodowych
Dzieje Najnowsze, Rocznik LI – 2019, 2 PL ISSN 0419–8824 STUDIA I ARTYKUŁ Y Jacek Piotrowski https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5227-9945 Instytut Historyczny Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego Prezydenci RP na uchodźstwie wobec obchodów świąt narodowych Abstrakt: Celem jest zaprezentowanie stosunku prezydentów RP na uchodźstwie do obcho- dów świąt narodowych, jak rocznica uchwalenia Konstytucji 3 maja 1791 r. czy odzyskania niepodległości 11 XI 1918 r. Autor podsumował cele oraz sposoby świętowania przez głowy państwa w latach 1939–1990. Uwzględnione zostały medialne echa tych poczynań. W efekcie udało się uchwycić specyfi kę obchodów w kolejnych kadencjach. Autor stawia tezę o istotnym ich znaczeniu nie tylko dla podtrzymania polskości na obczyźnie, ale także dla gry politycznej w wymiarze wewnętrznym i na arenie międzynarodowej. S ł owa kluczowe: uchodźstwo niepodległościowe, prezydenci RP na uchodźstwie, święta na- rodowe 3 V i 11 XI, obchody świąt narodowych, orędzia prezydenckie. Abstract: The aim of the study is to present the attitude of the Polish presidents in exile to the celebration of national holidays, such as the anniversary of the Constitution of 3 May 1791, or Regaining Independence on 11 November 1918. The author summarises the goals and ways of celebrating these occasions by Polish heads of state in 1939–1990, with taking into account media echoes of these celebrations. As a result, he has been able to capture the specifi city of the celebrations in subsequent offi ce terms. The author puts forward a thesis about their sig- nifi cant importance not only for maintaining Polishness abroad, but also for the political game both in the country and on the international arena.

The Crash to Be Investigated
The Crash to be Investigated The Polish presidential airplane, Russian-made Tupolev TU-154M, crashed on April 10, 2010, in Smolensk, Russia, killing all 96 people aboard, many of whom were members of Polish Parliament and high-ranking officials. The long list of victims includes: - Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria, - Ryszard Kaczorowski - last Polish President of the Government in Exile (residing in U.K. until Dec 1990), - NATO officers, including six generals (Chief of the General Staff, Chiefs of all branches of Polish Armed Forces), and Vice-Admiral (Chief of the Navy) The official accident report issued by the Russian Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC, Russian acronym, MAK) was found misleading in their findings and not backed by the evidence. On 3rd and 4th February 2012 two meetings took place in Ottawa, Canada. These two meetings were attended by Mr. Antoni Macierewicz , Member of Polish Parliament, Chairman of the Parliamentary Commission on the Polish Presidential Plane Crash, Dr. Wieslaw Binienda, University of Akron, Ohio, Dr. Kazimierz Nowaczyk, University of Maryland, Maryland and Mrs. Maria Szonert-Binienda, Esq., Libra Institute, Cleveland, Ohio. Our guests presented their papers disputing MAK’s statements: A. The MAK report states that the pivotal point of the aircraft destruction was a collision between a birch tree and the left wing. They concluded that this collision resulted in wing damage to such an extent that part of the wing detached from the aircraft causing the chain of events which led to the total destruction of the aircraft. A verifiable computer animation proves that the probable collision between the birch and the wing could not have taken place as described.

Started by the Germans with the complic- ity of the Soviet Union, it led to unimaginable destruction and millions of deaths. 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.

Jonczyk ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Northeastern University, September, 2010 3 Abstract The spy case of Colonel Ryszard Kuklinski, a Polish Army officer who collaborated with the CIA between 1972 and 1981, has generated passionate debate in the post Cold War geopolitical transition in the world after the fall of Communism. Perceived as a traitor of his nation by his opponents and a hero of the Cold War era by his enthusiasts, Kuklinski accomplished his lonely mission by channeling some 35 thousand top secret documents in both Polish and Russian to the agency. Unlikely fully explored by the American strategists, the files nonetheless disclosed some important technical, operational, and strategic plans of the former Warsaw Pact and the plans for the imposition of the martial law in Poland in 1981. Though sentenced to death in absentia in 1984 in Warsaw, Kuklinski was formally vindicated by Poland‘s judicial system in 1997. Upon his triumphant return to Poland in 1998, Kuklinski witnessed Poland‘s joining NATO and other new democratic developments after the fall of Communism in 1990.

POLAND European Elections monitor Presidential Election in Poland 20th June and 4th July 2010 ANALYSIS On 10th April Bronislaw Komorowski, President of the Sejm, the lower Chamber of the Parliament 1 month before was appointed interim President of the Republic after the accidental death of the Head of State the poll Lech Kaczynski (Law and Justic, PiS). The latter was elected on 23rd October 2005 as head of Poland beating present Prime Minister Donald Tusk (Civic Platform, PO) with 54.47% against 45.53% of the vote. Lech Kaczynski would undoubtedly have stood for election again in the next presidential election which was planned for the autumn of this year. During the morning of 10th April the latter together with his wife, Maria, and 96 other people died when the plane in which they were travelling crashed in Petchorsk in the region of Smolensk (Russia) probably because of thick fog which made landing difficult. The presidential delegation was travelling to Katyn to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the execution of 22,000 Polish officers by the Soviet Secret Services – a crime that was attributed to the Nazis in the official history books before USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev acknowledged in 1990 that the crime was his country’s responsibility. 70 years after this terrible crime Katyn has once more been set down in Polish history as a doomed place.
