The Un-Polish Poland, 1989 and the Illusion of Regained Historical Continuity

Abstract

This chapter describes how the Polish nation-state founded in 1918 was designed to be a revived Poland–Lithuania, nationally reinterpreted as an early Poland. Almost all the interwar state’s territory was Polish–Lithuanian. However, quite ironically, over half of the Commonwealth’s lands found themselves in the Soviet Union, making this communist polity more Polish–Lithuanian than Poland itself. From the ethnolinguistic and ethnoreligious point of view interwar Poland was still multiethnic, Slavophone Catholics (or ‘potential Poles’) accounting for two-thirds of the country’s inhabitants. This made interwar Poland similar to Poland–Lithuania. However, the nationally inflected ideological insistence that all the population be assimilated to the ethnolinguistically defined Polish nation, understood as the totality of Polish-speaking Catholics, was very un-Polish–Lithuanian in its character.
