The word ‘myth’ means tradition, legend. Myth-making is seen as the most important event in the cultural history of mankind. In primitive society mythology presents the basic way of understanding the world. The history of the people needs to be told of his mythology, and not vice versa. In our view when creating the image of a political leader should come from the heroic myths. The main characteristics of political myth are relying on the archetype and some technological artifice. We can say that the political myth is an adaptation of a cultural myth for political purposes. Political myth thus becomes a necessary form of communication between people and the government. Political myths are widely used in election campaigns, because from a psychological point of view the mythologizing the political leader allows differentiate him from competitors.

Since 1947, most of Ukrainians in Poland live in diasporas. This situation has a great significant for symbolical organization of space, reconstruction national culture, spiritual life and their identification with the group. The paper is based on the empirical study of Ukrainian communities conducted in two regions, south eastern and north eastern of Poland. The Ukrainians in research work areas have developed a national identity. Their self-definition is based mainly on religious differences: Greek Catholic or Orthodox. Religion has also become an important element of ethnic mobilization of the communities under consideration. In particular the Greek Catholic takes religious and sacred object not only element spiritual life bat also space of patriotic staging and localization national values. This can be seen for example in more elements of local landscape how new shrines have been built, there are new monuments, memorial crosses and other signifying practices.

Tekst stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o związek pomiędzy duchowością a praktykami symbolicznymi odwołującymi się do narodowego kontekstu. W tym celu analizowane będą działania charakterystyczne dla duchowości grekokatolickiej i ukraińskiej tożsamości narodowej – obserwowane na poziomie światów lokalnych. Dość powszechnie bowiem uznaje się fakt strukturalnego odrodzenia Kościoła Katolickiego Obrządku Biznatyjsko–Ukraińskiego za czynnik stabilizujący sytuację mniejszościową Ukraińców w Polsce. Jak zatem, na terenach autochtonicznych oraz obszarach diaspory, w tradycji wschodniego katolicyzmu zostają aktualnie zapośredniczone wątki nacjonalne. Dotyczy to zwłaszcza takich reprezentacji, jak krajobraz ideologiczny, pamięć i mit etniczny, konstrukcja miejsca martyrologii jako miejsca świętego. W tekście wykorzystuję dane pochodzące z badań etnograficznych, wyniki obserwacji uczestniczącej oraz dokumentację fotograficzną stanowiącą wizualizację opisywanego problemu.
