I found an interesting text by prof. Wojciech Śleszyńskiego, historian and political scientist, director of the Institute of History, University of Bialystok, published by yesterday's edition of Bialystok Wyborcza.
Polish historiography matured to certain topics. Perhaps one day of uncomfortable facts for the Polish people read the manual? But before that happens, it should be noted Polish historians, and boast a very challenging and rewarding for controversial topics (of which there is not enough) in Bialystok. I do not know whether the lack of new areas of research, or sensation-seeking - you Śleszyński - fathered the text of the government plan, national development of non-Polish Polesie in the 20s last century. If the documents cited by the historian is true, then the Poles have another stone in the garden of the shame that they hide as they can.
being drawn in the thirties program assumptions of state policy priority should have been the inclusion of "Belarusian Slavic tribe" in the sphere of the Polish nation. To make this name gradually blurring the divide between Poles and Belarusians (Poleszuków), which especially in the Polesie was accelerated processes Polonisation.
Polesie due to its location was a "Polish Dutch." The government was aware of an identity niuansie local residents Polesie (of Podlasie, because it is the west extension), and the way he chose to separate them from the local activists of both Belarusian and Ukrainian. Politics was conducted wielotorowo - in the end after rehabilitation did not know whether we "Implanted" in the Polish nation and the new Polish state. Finally, we proved to be a bit recalcitrant, and we need to demolish it was symbolic space (churches in 1938). But not enough that succumbed in the neighboring Volhynia did not comply with the cup of bitterness and a desire to cruel revenge in time of war.
After World War II divided the Podleszukami Poleszuków and this state continues to this day. Maybe it would be easier for us to survive the Polish government plans launched in the 20s we feel support from the marshes of the valley? And there also is not well. As easily as we come to them Polonize sowietyzować. And we have to be really valuable, since today we are fighting for three nations - Polish, Belarusian and Ukrainian.
Podleszuku, Poleszuku - do not let up!
