Stefan Kisielewski asked in 1990. And he said to himself,
“I will briefly answer the title question: I am needed, I know for sure... I do not request the Duchy of Warsaw, the Kingdom of legislature or the General Government. I besides don't request Polish Jagillons or Wazów, with Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine. I don't even request it (though I loved her) Poland is 20 years old, sovereign of absurdity, but inactive threatened by the mystery or distrust of its neighbours, a deficiency of European balance, and from the mediate by the dislike of the Ukrainian or German minority. Even though it was Poland with our favourite historical cities Vilnius and Lviv. I request Poland today, with Szczecin, Wrocław, Opole. Poland with logical boundaries, with the sea, with watery rivers, with abundant agriculture, Poland not divided or internally tuned, Poland capable of surviving in a rich Europe. Poland, which would be neither “pave nor parrot” of the nations, nor Christ of the nations, nor only of the heart, as in Wyspiański (...)”
What would Kisiel say if he saw Poland today? I think it's like, "No, it was expected to be Kitty. You did not want to read Bochenski.” There were logical limits, a decline after what Stalin gave to People's Poland. But present Poland is again like Kisiel's childhood. In the declarations declaratively sovereign and theatrically independent. Trusting unquestionably faithful partners in the past and at the same time under threat of distrust by east and Western neighbors. present our homeland is again a country with a immense Ukrainian number – inactive in the declarations of relationship set to Poland. Polish mad, romantic, insuring, sawing – ready to throw yourself in a fight in a abroad war. Unlike this 1 from the Warsaw Pact, mostly without real industry, and with agriculture being marginalized by global corporations. Poland is an Anglo-Saxon horse. The Operatic Power again boasts that it will not return a button.
Today we are witnessing a re-occupation of what has been depleted by our large sovereignty, independence, property and freedom. All that our ancestors fought for we gave willingly and willingly to the Adversary. present as a nation we are almost completely susceptible to the most primitive propaganda of government and opposition mass-medias. We are glad as a group that Poland, which we know, ends before our eyes. We rejoice that a unusual supranational creation is being created, which is the caricature of a national state. fewer people announcement our real situation. fewer individuals are trying to defy ubiquitous madness. Of course, it's not very effective to see the results, but it's beautiful good if you look at how powerful and complicated the device is.
Homeland is simply a large deal, even in today’s situation, you must not give up. You can always do something good for the Polish nation, sometimes against it. Although I am well aware of our position, I believe we must not surrender. Why? Kisiel gave us an answer over 3 decades ago – due to the fact that we request Poland.
