The basic concepts applied in sciences concerned with historical monuments such as a historical monument, cultural property, relic or keepsake, have not been described in a manner sufficiently precise or unambiguous. This is the reason for the ever topical discussions about the understanding, interpretation and usefulness of these terms. In his article entitled A Historical Monument — a Keepsake or Cultural Property ? („Ochrona Zabytkow”, no 3, 1993), J. P. Pruszyński presented an interpretation of those concepts in which he criticised the term „cultural property” at the same time emphasising the usefulness of „keepsake”. The polemic conducted by B. Szmygin deals with both the arguments and conclusions of this interpretation. It is composed of three fundamental trends of thought the first of which indicates that the very concept of a historical monument should not be identified with that of a keepsake (the point of departure here is the interpretation proposed by K. Piwocki of the views of A. Riegel). Secondly, B. Szmygin indicates the aptness and helpfulness of a distinction between cultural property and a historical monument. Thirdly, he discusses some aspects of the expansion of the concept of the historical monument and the consequences of this process.
