Содержанием доклада под заглавием: «Польское национальное меньшинство и его позиция в национальной структуре Украины» является представление, в количественном смысле и места заимаемого национальным польским меньшинством на Украине на фоне других национальностей, которые составляют часть современного украинского общества. Особое внимание обращаю на спад тенденции людей, которые отождествляют себя с польской национальностью – с 363 тысяч в 1959 году до 220 тысяч в 1989 году. Это явление обращает на себя внимание, так как другие национальные меньшинства или увеличились или остались на прежнем уровне- кроме евреев ,число которых уменьшилось гораздо больше, чем поляков. Смена государственного строя в Польше в 1989 году , повлияла на рост самосознания до принадлежности к польскому народу среди граждан европейских стран , которым до этих событий было все равно с какой национальностью себя отождествлять. Ситуация на Украине представлена совсем по-другому. В 1989 году около 220 тысяч граждан Украины указало принадлежность к народу Польши и за два года их число упало до 144 тысяч человек . Это беспокойноное явление сигнализирует на неотвраимый процесс, который происходит на Украине, где всё меньше граждан видят смысл отождествлять себя с лицами польской национальности.

The subject of the paper titled: “Polish minority and its position in the Ukrainian national structure” is aimed at showing – mainly the quantity- the position of Polish minority in Ukraine against other nationalities constituting the contemporary Ukrainian nation. A particular attention has been paid to the diminishing tendency among people, who declare Polish identity – out of 363 000 in 1959, up to 220 000 in 1989. This phenomenon deserves to be particularly emphasized, because other nationalities – apart from the Jews, whose number decreased even more than the Poles – increased their population or it remained on the same level. The Polish political transformation in 1989 influenced the level of its citizens’ national identity, who were in “Identical trance. The situation is completely different in Ukraine. In 1989 about 220 000 of Ukrainian citizens declared Polish nationality and the number decreased during the next two years. This alarming situation signalizes the irreversible process happening in Ukraine, lower and lower number of nationals believes that there is no use in maintaining Polish nationality.

“The Europe of regions” has a double deck in which sometimes are hidden sceptical views about Europe. It has been done in order to restrict the competence in the name of regions. On the state level those competences were handed over to the European institutions long ago. It is not only in the mind of the regions to push their interests. In their mind is to make an influence on the change of the character of the European Union – the more powerful is the position of the definite region according to the state Constitution at their own place, at “home” – much more the region is trying to influence on the changes of the very European Union. In some cases their ambitions contradict the state policy of a given European Union’s member state. XXI-st century did not protect Europe before the spectre of national wars having brought the liveliness of ethnic and national emotions such as the fear before loosing their own identity. The nationalism, responsible for the most blooded conflicts, thanks to its diversified nature penetrates invisibly into the consciousness not only separate persons but also the whole societies, creating destabilization both in the Western countries and in a freshly shaped countries of the Middle and Western Europe. The International Institute of Peace Research in Stockholm in its report in 1996 affirms that “the most dangerous risk for the European security comes out from the inner conflicts in the countries which are caused by the discontent of the social groups in the great majority the ethnic groups”. One of the reasons of conflicts is the discrepancy of the ethnic and the state borders. The analysis of debates and conflicts in Europe on the turn of XX–XXI-st centuries not only affirms the Existence of the problem but also shows that in the period of progressing globalization, the responsibility for the state of conflict and national egoism is both on the quarreling sides and the whole international society. So despite the ruling believes the national resentments, distortion of the history, wrong decisions, non-perfect international institutions and security system cannot be the excuse for the helplessness or indifference for the threats generated by the nationalism, on the contrary they have to inspire to the open European debates on the topic of methodology in succeeding the national crisis. But hopes are arisen by the experiences of quarreling societies of the last decades which point out that before the lack of the universal system of resolving those types of conflicts the ability to compromise, openness for dialogue and first of all perception of the differences not as obstacles but as tasks for fulfillment, always decide about mutual understanding. All this successfully implemented to the canon of social practice may decide that nationalism will become only the phantom and warning from the past but not an inspiration for the European political elite.

According to Augustine - and here you can see influences of ancient phi- losophy - a man is by nature a social being. Alone can use the gift of speech, and thus build a space agreement, construct and principles of law, estab- lish standards. After all, they all should be subject to God. A social being, as man reaches its fullness only in the group. The guiding principle of human functioning in society is a virtue, and the virtue of justice. It is a guarantee of peace.

According to Nietzsche, the collapse of Western culture is strongly asso- ciated with the expansion of the church and the ideals of democracy. Ac- cording to him, the democratic ideal of equality is nothing but a departure from the ideal of diversity, whose natural element is also inequality among the people themselves. Similarly, being a component of private ownership leads to a general inability to highlight his own personality, its diversity. Democracy in fact, according to Nietzsche, resigns from outstanding indi- viduals for the entities similar to the other, to the public. Meanwhile, the geniuses should lead nations. Democracy is therefore a bad influence on life
