The problem of thorough and ultimate decommunisation in Ukraine got suddenly valid during Euromaidan on the turn of 2013/2014 and after its termination. It became a component of post–revolutionary reforms in the field of policy of memory. A year after Euromaidan Ukraine’s parliament adopted four “decommunisation laws” on 9 April 2015. One of them concerns the condemnation of the Communist regime and prohibition the propaganda of his symbols. The author analysed contents of the law and focused on the results of decommunisation, which included the cleansing the public space from Soviet–era legacy. Full implementation of the law was planned for the year. During this time the goal was almost fully implemented regarding the renaming of many locations and districts. The communist names of thousands streets, squares, urban districts were changed, although this process was delayed. The process of renaming of many institutions, industrial plants and press titles was very slow.

The article discusses the point of interconnection between historical policy and international human rights law standards on the example of a so-called decommunisation Act enacted in Poland in 2016 that reduces retirement pensions and other benefts to individuals who were employed or in service in selected state formations and institutions in 1944-1990, amending the Act adopted in 2009. The Act of 16 December 2016 is analyzed in the light of the standards of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), including relevant standards on coming to terms with the past as an element of transitional justice. The examination concludes that there is a discrepancy between the rationale for adopting this legislation in Poland, namely to reckon with the communist past and as such increase social trust in state institutions, and the legal solutions contained in the 2016 Act.

Transitional justice in the post-communist countries of Eastern Europe concentrates on the problem of the lustration of former secret service officers and their clandestine collaborators and on the question of access to files created by the communist political police. The aim of the article is to present the Polish experience in this field in view of the theoretical framework available in transitional justice literature. Thus, the text begins with definitions of some basic notions connected with dealing with the past. The article also proposes three basic models of transitional justice. The third part offers an account of Polish lustration and public disclosure measures and assigns those instruments to the models of transitional justice. The final section presents some concluding remarks on the evolution of Polish lustration.

In 2015, as a result of implementing the Ukrainian decommunisation laws, the official name of the Museum of the Great Patriotic War was changed to the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War. The current exhibition at the museum depicts internalisation of Soviet myths in Ukraine as well as the problem of no explicit guidelines from state authorities regarding an official narrative. Also, developing a new concept of a museum dedicated to the history of Ukraine in the Second World War has been impeded by the ongoing war in the eastern part of the country. This paper discusses mutual relations and mismatches between Ukraine’s politics of history and museum practices. The change of the latter is much more languid and complex than in the case of merely changing street names or dismantling old monuments and erecting new ones.

Since 2 September 2016, the provisions of the Act of 1 April 2016 on prohibition of propagation of communism or another totalitarian system by the names of organisational units, auxiliary units of communes, buildings, objects and devices of public utility and monuments have been in force. When determining the procedure of the proceedings provided for, the legislator gave a special role to the opinions of the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. The aim and subject of this article is the problem analysis of the recent case law of the Supreme Administrative Court (i.e. from 2019) insofar as it relates to the legal nature and force of the opinions of the Institute of National Remembrance drawn up as a part of the proceedings based on the said Act, and an attempt to translate the conclusions arising from this analysis into possible recommendations for the Sejm.

The article is an analysis of the polemics of Jarosław Kaczyński with Adam Michnik. The first one took place on the pages of the underground paper in 1979. Both this one and further polemics of Kaczyński and Michnik point out a clear ideological division of the “Solidarity” camp, which did not vanish during the 25 years of the existence of the Polish Third Republic. An analysis of direct polemics of Kaczyński on the Michnik texts, television debates of them both and the attacks of the “Tygodnik Solidarność” led by Jarosław Kaczyński on the editorial board of “Gazeta Wyborcza” has been made. An answer has been found to e.g. the questions: what topics were the subject of the discussion between Kaczyński and Michnik in that time? What was the evaluation of the PPR by Michnik in texts referred to by Kaczyński, and vice versa? What was the opinion of both of them towards decommunisation?

The article is devoted to the decommunisation of the onymic systems of Ukraine and Poland in the context of similar processes in the Central and Eastern Europe from the fall of the Berlin Wall tillthe present days. First of all, the author analyses the urbonymic systems: names of streets, squares etc. This class of onyms is the most vulnerable to the ideological influences. According to the author, the final stage of the decommunisation of Ukrainian and Polish onomasticons was triggered after tragic events in the Eastern and Southern Ukraine started in 2014 which demonstrated the threat of the revitalization of the Soviet totalitarian regime and its satellite states.

Artykuł jest poświęcony dekomunizacji proprialnych zasobów języka ukraińskiego oraz pol­szczyzny na terenie posttotalitarnej Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej w ostatnich latach transfor­macji. Autor analizuje przede wszystkim przykłady z nazewnictwa miejskiego: nazwy własne ulic, placów i tak dalej. Ten rodzaj nazw własnych wyraźnie bowiem odzwierciedla wpływy czynni­ków natury ideologicznej. Zdaniem autora główną przyczyną ostatniej fali dekomunizacji w prawie Ukrainy oraz Polski są dramatyczne wydarzenia na południowym wschodzie Ukrainy z roku 2014, kiedy ujawnił się dyskurs dotyczący renowacji systemu totalitarnego, w tym odbudowy byłego Związku Radzieckiego.
