Polish–Belarusian Borderlands – Witness Accounts | Mieroszewski Centre

In 2026, we will celebrate the 120th anniversary of the birth and 50th anniversary of the death of Juliusz Mieroszewski, the patron of the Mieroszewski Centre. 

The project involves a comprehensive analysis of the international and internal context of the functioning of foreign agent status in Russia.

The aim of the compiled edition is to attempt to comprehensively document the work of one of the most important, though now forgotten, Polish experts in the analysis of the Soviet Union and communism.

The project involves documenting, as fully and comprehensively as possible, the NKVD's ‘Polish operation’ - one of the greatest genocidal crimes in 20th century Europe.

The aim of the work, which will culminate in the publication of the fundamental ‘Dictionary of Polish-Ukrainian Historical Discourse Concepts’, is to identify and then conceptually analyse the basic concepts understood differently by Polish and Ukrainian historians.

The main aim of the source edition is to present the most original scholarly and journalistic texts on the development of the Polish-Ukrainian intellectual dialogue between 1831 and 1918.

The project involves gathering possibly complete information on persons missing in the north-eastern provinces of pre-war Poland between 17 September 1939 and June 1940, i.e. people who might have been the victims of the Katyn Massacre.

The aim of the research, which will result in the publication of a monograph in Polish and Belarusian, is to attempt a comprehensive description of the origins, development and twilight of the so-called ‘national idea’ as an attempt to create a national ideology, culturally based on the memory...

The Mieroszewski Centre initiated research in 2024 into Russia's propaganda methods to justify the need to launch aggressive wars and the crimes that accompany them.

The project aims to analyze Russia's politics of history toward Poland and Ukraine over the past 23 years (1999–2022) using a novel research approach.

This research project, commissioned by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education at the initiative of Undersecretary of State Prof. Andrzej Szeptycki, aims to analyze a corpus of academic and journalistic articles authored by Polish researchers since 2014.

On 24 February 2022 at 5am, Russian forces launched an invasion of independent Ukraine, an unprecedented event in post-war European history, which is still ongoing.
