Historical Memory as a Cultural Base for Polish-Ukrainian Relations

Journal Title: Chorzowskie Studia Polityczne - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue

Abstract

This paper presents the main factors which caused an increase in the power of the anti- -Ukrainian position in Poland. The anti-Ukrainian positions and the conspiracy theories are mainly influenced by the resentments concerning Polish trauma inflicted by Ukrainian nationalists during World War II. This trauma, and the impossibility of its expression, led the victims and people who sympathize with them to being excluded. These social processes have also been manipulated by radical movements and Russian propaganda.
