Article takes up the problem of Polish–Italian relations after the World War II and the question the Polish western border in these relations. The assessment of Italian politicians on the recognition of the border on the Oder and Neisse have been shown in the text, as well as the importance of this process for the geopolitical situation in post-war Europe. Background for the title issue was the question of the role and importance of Germany in the postwar order in Europe. Italian politicians had considered the German question as crucial for security in Europe and this dimension of foreign policy was superior for the Polish–Italian relations.

The sketch is an attempt to present the main financial problems in the Polish-Italian relations from 1945 to 1956. It is based primarily on sources stored in Central Archives of Modern Records and Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw. The study showed that the main purpose of the Polish authorities was to avoid having to pay the pre-war debts to Italy, and compensation resulting from the adoption of the law on nationalization of industry, from 3 January 1946. For this purpose it was intended to take advantage of the provisions of a peace treaty with Italy, which was ratified by Poland in 1947. Polish-Italian talks on this subject led to a compromise: The Geneva Protocol was initialed on June 3, 1949, in which the Italian government renounced the pre-war debts in exchange for the surrender of the Polish government’s war reparations from Italy. As a result of the increased tension in the international situation, the protocol does not come into force, which increased the difficulties in Polish-Italian trade cooperation.

Introduction of the martial law in Poland, repressions against political opposition and limitations of civic freedoms strongly affected Polish-French scientific and cultural relations. Representatives of French intellectual elite protested against persecution of their colleagues, actively involved in the activities of political opposition. events organized by the Polish Academy of Sciences Scientific Centre and the Polish Institute in Paris were boycotted. Some cultural manifestations initiated by Polish authorities were challenged by new circles of “Solidarity” political emigration. In the years 1981-1983, official exchange was going through crisis. Some change for the better was noticed in the second half of the 80s. Scientific and cultural exchange was going on more often aside from the planned schedules. This way, French authorities were able to select interesting, in their opinion, partners also among those recruiting from the Polish opposition. The first attempt to abandon isolation in official cultural relations between Poland and France wasan exhibition put on from june 21 to September 26 1983 in the Centre Pompidou in Paris, called “Polish Appearances”. In the 80s France loses its former strong position as a destination of scientific trips. first of all, the potential for co-operation in traditional fields in the humanities and sociology was exhausted. With time, the role of these fields in mutual co-operation diminished in favour of scientific disciplines, technical or medical science. It appears that in this scope France could offer less to Polish scientists than West Germany.
