THE REMEMBRANCE OF THE KATYN MASSACRE
AND PRESIDENT LECH KACZY1SKI'S CONCEPT
OF POLISH-RUSSIAN RELATIONS
[2005-2010]
by Patryk Wawrzyniski
Lech Kaczyfiski's tragic death was a direct cause of the ditente in Polish-
Russian relations, proclaimed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his
Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin just after the Polish Air Force Tu-154
Crash. However this rapprochement is far from the political concept of
the President. Considering the Polish internal debate on a proper form of
Polish-Russian relations, I would like - in this short article to present a
way as to how President Kaczydiski understood challenges, that both
nations have to pick up.
Taking advantage of an examination of narrations, and results of my
two-year researche on cultural and mythical aspects of Kaczydiski's
political concept, I would like to present an influence of the Remembrance
of the Katyfi Massacre [in the wider perspective of Russian and Soviet
crimes committed against the Polish Nation] on assumptions of a Polish-
Russian Reconciliation. In the first place I describe the inter-relation
between the Past and the Present in Kaczyfiski's outlook, then I present
his narrations about the KatyAi Massacre and the Russian Expansionism.
Afterwards I will present an influence of the Past on contemporary issues
in Polish-Russian relations.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.journals/ppsy37&div=31&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
