  • Who Were the Prusai ?
    WHO WERE THE PRUSAI ? So far science has not been able to provide answers to this question, but it does not mean that we should not begin to put forward hypotheses and give rise to a constructive resolution of this puzzle. Great help in determining the ethnic origin of Prusai people comes from a new branch of science - genetics. Heraldically known descendants of the Prusai, and persons unaware of their Prusai ethnic roots, were subject to the genetic test, thus provided a knowledge of the genetics of their people. In conjunction with the historical knowledge, this enabled to be made a conclusive finding and indicated the territory that was inhabited by them. The number of tests must be made in much greater number in order to eliminate errors. Archaeological research and its findings also help to solve this question, make our knowledge complemented and compared with other regions in order to gain knowledge of Prusia, where they came from and who they were. Prusian people provinces POMESANIA and POGESANIA The genetic test done by persons with their Pomesanian origin provided results indicating the Haplogroup R1b1b2a1b and described as the Atlantic Group or Italo-Celtic. The largest number of the people from this group, today found between the Irish and Scottish Celts. Genetic age of this haplogroup is older than that of the Celt’s genetics, therefore also defined as a proto Celtic. 1 The Pomerania, Poland’s Baltic coast, was inhabited by Gothic people called Gothiscanza. Their chronicler Cassiodor tells that they were there from 1940 year B.C. Around the IV century A.D.

He was a founder and editor of the independent, non-censored "Spotkania" magazine. He was interned and brutally repressed by the communists during Martial Law. After 1989, he continued his publishing activity. He was appointed Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance, and later head of the Office for Veterans and Victims of Oppression. Janusz Krupski was born in 1951 in Lublin. As a student, he joined the ant-communist opposition movement at the Catholic University of Lublin, where in 1973, as president of the Historians' Circle, he opposed the transformation of the Association of Polish Students into the Socialist Union of Polish Students. In June 1976, he handed over an open letter to the participants of the European Youth and Students' Assembly in Warsaw, concerning incidents of human rights violations in communist Poland. Thanks to his cooperation with Piotr Jegliński, he discovered a way of transferring information about opposition activities in the Polish People's Republic to the West. He was a co-founder of the NOWA Independent Publishing House, the first underground publishing house in the 1970s. In the autumn of 1977, he began publishing the "Spotkania" magazine - one of the most important independent publications. It was on the pages of this magazine that texts by priests Franciszek Blachnicki and Józef Tischner, as well as Władysław Bartoszewski and Stefan Kisielewski appeared.

  • POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate Scho
    MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. By Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Washington, DC April 11, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Siobhan K. Doucette All Rights Reserved ii MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrzej S. Kamiński, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the rapid growth of Polish independent publishing between 1976 and 1989, examining the ways in which publications were produced as well as their content. Widespread, long-lasting independent publishing efforts were first produced by individuals connected to the democratic opposition; particularly those associated with KOR and ROPCiO. Independent publishing expanded dramatically during the Solidarity-era when most publications were linked to Solidarity, Rural Solidarity or NZS. By the mid-1980s, independent publishing obtained new levels of pluralism and diversity as publications were produced through a bevy of independent social milieus across every segment of society. Between 1976 and 1989, thousands of independent titles were produced in Poland. Rather than employing samizdat printing techniques, independent publishers relied on printing machines which allowed for independent publication print-runs in the thousands and even tens of thousands, placing Polish independent publishing on an incomparably greater scale than in any other country in the Communist bloc. By breaking through social atomization and linking up individuals and milieus across class, geographic and political divides, independent publications became the backbone of the opposition; distribution networks provided the organizational structure for the Polish underground.

  • Political Murder and the Victory of Ethnic Nationalism in Interwar Poland
    POLITICAL MURDER AND THE VICTORY OF ETHNIC NATIONALISM IN INTERWAR POLAND by Paul Brykczynski A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Professor Brian Porter-Szűcs, Chair Professor Ronald G. Suny Professor Geneviéve Zubrzycki Professor Robert Blobaum, University of West Virginia DEDICATION In memory of my Grandfather, Andrzej Pieczyński, who never talked about patriotism but whose life bore witness to its most beautiful traditions and who, among many other things, taught me both to love the modern history of Poland and to think about it critically. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In a project such as this, there are innumerable people to thank. While I know that this list will never be comprehensive, I will nevertheless do my best to acknowledge at least some of those without whom this work would not have been possible. Most important, there will never be a way to adequately thank my wife and best friend, Andrea, for standing by me 150% through this long and often difficult journey. Working on a PhD certainly has its ups and downs and, without Andrea, I would not have made it through the latter. Her faith in my work and in the path I had chosen never wavered, even when mine occasionally did. With that kind of support, one can accomplish anything one set one’s mind to. An enormous thank you must go to my parents, Mikołaj and Ewa Brykczyński. Despite being uprooted from their culture by the travails of political emigration, they somehow found the strength to raise me with the traditions of the Central European Intelligentsia—that is to say in an environment where books were read, ideas were discussed, and intellectual curiosity was valued and encouraged.

YATES JOHN BUCHANAN MILAJCENT VNWICK FOREWORD The documents presented in this volume are links in a chain reaction of free expression. Taking place inside the Sov4et Union and its Eastern Euro- pean allies, this process of civil protest varies from one locale to another both in scope and content. Its common base, however, can be found in the 1975 Helsinki accord, the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Coop- eration in Europe. There, in the introductory Declaration on Principles Guiding Relations between Participating States, the 35 signatory nations bound themselves to accord the same respect to the human rights and fundamental freedoms of their own citizens as to one another's frontiers, sovereignty, and immunity from force or the threat of its use. The pledge to respect "freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief," to "promote and encourage the effective exercise of civil, political ... cultural and other rights", to accord ethnic minorities "equality before the law" and "full opportunity", and to "act in conformity" with international commitments on human rights constitutes Principle VII of the Final Act.

  • Soviet Deliberations During the Polish Crisis, 1980-1981
    SOVIET DELIBERATIONS DURING THE POLISH CRISIS, 1980-1981 Edited, Translated, Annotated, and Introduced by Mark Kramer Special Working Paper No. 1 Cold War International History Project Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Washington, D.C April 1999 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES CHRISTIAN F. OSTERMANN, Series Editor This paper is the first of a special series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.

  • Vladimir Lenin
    return to updates Vladimir Lenin is Another Fake by Miles Mathis First published June 21, 2016 As usual, this is just my opinion, protected as free speech. First of all, his name above is an alias. Most of you won't know that. Like the name Stalin, the name Lenin is a fake. He just made it up. His real name was Vladimir Ulyanov. Your first question should be, “Why would the leader of the Communist Party or of the Soviet Union need to live under an alias?” Does it make any sense for the leader of a country to have a fake name? Nobody ever asks these simple questions, but they are well worth asking. The second thing you need to know is that this Vladimir Ulyanov was Jewish. There is all sorts of denial on the internet and in books on this question, and what is most strange is that even at places like Stormfront, JewWatch and heretical.com you get misdirection. That is, even those who seem to hate Commies and Jews can't seem to do simple research. So the current state of affairs is a big muddle. As usual, I will show you it is a manufactured muddle. Both sides of the argument are manufactured, to keep you confused. If you study “anti-Semitic” literature on this subject, you come to the conclusion that Lenin was at most ¼ Jewish. In fact, both sides sort of admit that, when pressed. It is admitted Lenin's maternal grandfather Alexander Dmitrievich Blank was a wealthy Jewish doctor who worked for the military.

STUDY OF DISSENT AND OPPOSITION IN THE COMMUNIST POLAND Abstract: Social attitudes toward communism in Poland encompassed the whole spectrum of attitudes, from affirmation, through adaptation, to resistance and dis- sent. The most developed and institutionalized form of dissent was the opposition movement. Komitet Obrony Robotników (Workers’ Defence Committee), later trans- formed into the Social Self-Defence Committee ‘KOR’ was a new of type opposition against the communist regime; it created a political alternative and new methods of system contestation, which were followed by other groups in the democratic opposi- tion in the 1970s. The main features of the KOR opposition model are: openness, act- ing without violence, absence of hierarchic organization, decentralization, legalism, solidarity, specified social objectives, political self-limitation, ethical radicalism, plu- ralism and civic virtue. Keywords: dissent, opposition, communism, resistance, dissidence, Polish People’s Republic (PRL). Resistance, dissent, opposition 1 What is opposition in a non-democratic regime? What was the opposi- tion in communist Poland? There are numerous attempts in the scholarly literature to describe this phenomenon more precisely. Before I present 1 I use this term because I do not intend to resolve in this article the dispute among Polish historians and political scientists about totalitarian or authoritarian na- ture of the political system in Poland ruled by the communists (the abbreviation of the official name of the state — PRL is used to describe this historical period).
