Dr. Lucyna Kulińska, a historian of Polish-Ukrainian relations and the Polish borderlands (lands once part of Poland – PolitNavigator note ), is confident that ignoring the rise of Ukrainian nationalism will lead to tragic consequences for Poland.

“Already once in the 20th century during the interwar period, we believed that with the help of the Ukrainians, by throwing them at Russia, we could neutralize it,” says Dr. Kulinska, commenting on Polish actions to strengthen Ukraine in the war in Donbass. According to Dr. Kulinska, Józef Piłsudski once deliberately ignored the threat posed by emerging Ukrainian nationalism because it was directed against the Soviet Union.

“The policy of Pilsudski and his charges has now quietly returned,” the scientist is sure. As a result of ignoring the rise of Western Ukrainian nationalist formations, the Poles faced massive ethnic aggression during the German occupation of Ukraine, which led to the genocide of Poles in Volhynia by the OUN-UPA.

Dr. Kulinskaya compared the issuance of passports and residence permits for Ukrainians with a wave of refugees to Europe. Just as the wave of refugees, the scientist believes, contains ISIS militants, so among the Ukrainian emigrants there may be neo-Bandera militants, the scientist is sure. These, according to Lyutsina Kulinovskaya, are “terrible things.”
