This article is devoted to the Ukrainian movement and forming Polish administration in Volhynia in the years 1919-1921. At that time provisional administration of the Second Polish Republic operated there, starting the process of integration of that area with the Polish state. The Straż Kresowa (Eastern Borderland Guards) was set up in Volhynia with the task of establishing contact with local people. The Ukrainian movement in Volhynia at that time was not uniform. Some locals wanted to collaborate with the new authority if granted the right to freely develop nationally, culturally and religiously. Another social group was hostile towards Polish government. The latter was influenced by Bolshevik propaganda or supported independent Ukraine. Eventually the policy of the administration and the radical stand of part of society led to progressive Polish-Ukrainian confrontation.

The aim of the article is to present in detail the beginnings of the Polish administration in the Kłodzko region just after the end of the Second World War. The chronological framework of the text closes in 1945. The article describes the events connected with the arrival of the representatives of the government of the Republic of Poland and their groups, as well as the Operational Groups of the Economic Committee of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Industry. The author focuses on the development of relations between the Polish administrative apparatus and Soviet war commanders and permanent residents of the Kłodzko Land. The author presents the attitude of the German population towards the Polish government. He describes the difficulties faced by Poles in the first months after the war. An important aspect presented in the text is the struggle for the takeover of industrial plants in Kłodzko from the Soviet hands, as well as the scale of their plundering. The author hypothesizes that despite a formal handover of power by the Soviets in June1945, Poles did not exercise authority in the areas officially taken over. The act was merely a gesture. The Soviets ruled these areas informally and nothing happened without their permission. In the article, the author uses a descriptive method with a strict chronology, but also a geographical method (the specificity of the Kłodzko region as part of the Western Territories) and partly a comparative method, presenting, among other things, the activities of various public administration groups.

Kwieks’ Clan as the Representation of Gypsies and the Sanation Camp in the Light of Government and Progovernment News Bulletins (1926-1935)This article discusses the Kwiek family actions as the representation of Gypsies in close connection with political conditions. This clan appeared in public life during the leadership of the Piłsudski’s governing block, and its activity was approved and accepted by the regime, which also adopted Gypsy leaders under country’s consolidation although the Gypsies were included in Piłsudski’s circle not officially. Nevertheless, solidification of representation of Gypsies’ demands followed, which, by representing various centers, spread via government and pro-government press. The Roma could raise several issues that were most important to their community, achieving many benefits for the family itself and the Kwiek clan at the same time. Klan Kwieków jako przedstawicielstwo cygańskie a obóz sanacyjny w latach 1926-1935 w świetle sanacyjnych i prorządowych dzienników informacyjnychArtykuł omawia działania rodziny Kwieków jako reprezentacji cygańskiej w ścisłym związku z uwarunkowaniami politycznymi. Klan ten w życiu publicznym pojawił się w okresie rządów obozu piłsudczykowskiego. Jego aktywność została uznana i zaakceptowana przez sanację, która w ramach konsolidacji państwowej przyjęła do siebie także liderów cygańskich, przy czym włączenie Cyganów w platformę piłsudczykowską nie miało charakteru oficjalnego. Niemniej dzięki temu doszło do krystalizacji postulatów przedstawicielstwa cygańskiego, które, reprezentując różne ośrodki, poprzez rządową i prorządową prasę mogło zabierać głos w najważniejszych dla ludności cygańskiej sprawach, osiągając jednocześnie wiele korzyści dla rodziny i klanu Kwieków.

The article – following previous ones of similar topic published in “Museology” – is the 1st part of a broader elaboration pertaining to relocations of cultural goods after World War II, in particular to functioning of repositories where those goods were assembled. They were established and operated by Polish administration on the territories liberated consecutively by the moving front. This time the repositories in Gdańsk Pomerania region are discussed. First part presents issues related to a geopolitical situation of Gdańsk Voivodeship, especially the city of Gdańsk. Historical background is given to the so-called recovery campaign conducted by Polish administration. The process of getting organised by Polish authorities is also described, as well as the way it affected the achievement of their objectives: organisation of social life, rescue of artworks – despite the shortage of means – by penetrating areas outside the city in search for hidden goods, establishment of repositories, depositories etc. for items of cultural heritage saved from the fire, left behind the moving front and the Red Army, and for those taken out of towns by the German monuments’ protection service. Sites of Gdańsk Voivodeship where the monuments were deposited by German administration are listed in the article. Collections of movable goods assembled in those caches survived military actions and – if not plundered by local people or Soviet Army commanders – were being saved and secured in repositories organised by delegates of the Ministry of Culture and Art. The way in which the Polish repositories were established and operating, as well as the fortunes of historic artefacts collected in them will be further described in the following 2nd part of the article.
