In the autumn of 1921 Przemyśl became a garisson town for the 5th Podhale Rifles Infanrty Regiment. That regiment, pariticulary spectacular compared with other units the Przemyśl garrison, remained in town until 1939 September campagin. It grew into its landscape, leaving in it an unforgetable mark of the mountain units, their tradition and distinctness. What was suprising was the activeness and involment of the soldiers, most of all the cadre, in the social and cultural life of the town. Many initiatives implemented at that time never reached such a scale as in perios beetwen two wars. This article is an attempt to show these activities and their influence on the attitudes of the Przemysl community in the interwar period.

The author, on the background of the educational system for adults, has presented the army as an institution which, fulfilling determined function within state defense and security system, leads also education activities for soldiers. Schooling in the military has got long tradition and its history comes from the Kosciuszko Insurrection in 1794. Educational objectives in those times and later (Polish Legions, time of the second Commonwealth) had been aimed at coping with illiteracy and improving general knowledge of soldiers. After the recovery of Poland in 1918 to the rebuild Polish army came up to 40 % of illiterate conscripts. The contemporary military force conducts different forms of non-scholar professional education of soldiers - laying stress especially on the personnel self-improvement. In the educational self-improvement system of the service man the biggest role play post-graduate studies, qualification, specialist and language courses as well as military exercises. According to the researches conducted lately up to 60 % professional soldiers take a part in different courses, and this is determined by the qualification requirements on the posts their occupied - so claim 46 % examined staff. In addition in the framework of the educational activities there are also conducted cultural, recreation and sports activities which make an important element of all soldiers' development in modern military forces.

Objectives: The main goal of the research was to assess temperamental determinants of trauma symptoms in firemen, policemen and soldiers. The temperament traits which were considered were those postulated by the Regulative Theory of Temperament (briskness, perseveration, sensory sensitivity, emotional reactivity, endurance and activity). Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was run on non-clinical samples. The participants were 417 men, White-Caucasian only: 284 firemen (aged 21–55), 58 policemen (aged 22–45), and 75 soldiers (aged 21–42). Temperament was assessed using the Formal Characteristics of Behavior – Temperament Inventory. Intensity of trauma symptoms was assessed with the PTSD-Factorial Version Inventory, a quantitative measure of trauma-related symptoms. The respondents were examined in their place of work. The study included only men reporting at least 1 traumatic event during the year before the trauma diagnosis. Results: Emotional reactivity had a significant positive effect on the intensity of trauma symptoms only in the group of firemen. Emotional reactivity accounted for 16% of the variance of trauma intensity symptoms in this occupational group. Negative significant effect on trauma symptoms was found for briskness only in the soldiers group (briskness explained 20% trauma intensity variance in this group). Conclusions: Emotional reactivity was conducive to the increased trauma symptoms intensity in firemen, whereas briskness tended to reduce symptoms intensity only in the group of soldiers.

Violence in the Polish Army in the Interwar Period Physical and psychological violence was noted in the Polish Army prior to 1939, especially in the cavalry, artillery and infantry. Superiors harassed their subordinates, junior soldiers harassed conscripts. Out of despair, soldiers committed suicide, self-injured or deserted. This pathological phenomenon was the object of active concern for the army command, which realised that the situation endangered the stable functioning of the army.

The article will focus on various aspects of the coexistence of urban residents from selected Silesian cities (in the area of today’s Opole) with soldiers of domestic and enemy armies during the Thirty Years’ War. Particularly, it will concentrate on the injustices and violence perpetrated, but also on the duties of the townspeople towards soldiers. However, it will also try to investigate the extent to which the experience of the cities was only negative or to trace the basis of possible cooperation between the cities, or further convergence. It also outlines the standard defence mechanisms cities developed over the long years of war to face the military burden.

Stanisław Maykowski (1880-1961) a poet, theatre critic, teacher, co-author (with Juliusz Balicki) of popular textbooks for learning Polish, is hardly ever associated with Przemyśl. It was first of all Lvov, though also Poznań and Cracow, that were the major stops on his way and to those cities he was most attached. And though Maykowski was most famous as an author, one should not forget he was a gimnazjum teacher by profession. This fragment of his Pamiętnik (Memoir) describes his memories of the year-long stay in Przemyśl (January 1917 – January 1918). In them he refers to the realities of everyday life in the town (the legions, Gimnazjum no. 1 where he worked, artistic life).

This text analyzes some aspects of the end of the Second World War in Yugoslavia from the perspective of the change in the anti-Hitler coalition towards the sides fighting on Yugoslav territory and towards the potential recruitment of prisoners of war in order to deploy them in battles against the German army. Particular attention is dedicated to the opinions of several representatives of the Czechoslovak exile government on these issues, including the question of possible recruitment of new soldiers into the Czechoslovak Army fighting abroad. This can contribute to a better understanding of the Czechoslovak military mission delegated in July 1944 to the headquarters of Josip Broz Tito, the commander of the Yugoslav partisans and communists. However, the complex political circumstances and immediacy of the wartime situation did not provide much space for realizing these goals of the Czechoslovak mission. The article is mainly based in sources of Czechoslovak, Yugoslav, and partially also British provenience, countless written memoirs, and relevant scholarly literature.

Objectives Standard devices used by military personnel that may pose electromagnetic hazard include: radars, missile systems, radio navigation systems and radio transceivers. The aim of this study has been to evaluate the exposure of military personnel to electromagnetic fields. Material and Methods Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields was analyzed in the work environment of personnel of 204 devices divided into 5 groups (surface-to-air missile system radars, aircraft and helicopters, communication devices, surveillance and height finder radars, airport radars and radio navigation systems). Measurements were carried out at indicators, device terminals, radio panels, above vehicle seats, in vehicle hatches, by cabinets containing high power vacuum tubes and other transmitter components, by transmission lines, connectors, etc. Results Portable radios emit the electric field strength between 20–80 V/m close to a human head. The manpack radio operator’s exposure is 60–120 V/m. Inside vehicles with high frequency/very high frequency (HF/VHF) band radios, the electric field strength is between 7–30 V/m and inside the radar cabin it ranges between 9–20 V/m. Most of the personnel on ships are not exposed to the electromagnetic field from their own radar systems but rather by accidental exposure from the radar systems of other ships. Operators of surface-to-air missile systems are exposed to the electric field strength between 7–15 V/m and the personnel of non-directional radio beacons – 100–150 V/m. Conclusions In 57% of military devices Polish soldiers work in the occupational protection zones. In 35% of cases, soldiers work in intermediate and hazardous zones and in 22% – only in the intermediate zone. In 43% of devices, military personnel are not exposed to electromagnetic field.

According to the author, the petition falls within the competence of the Sejm and fulfils formal requirements. The author positively evaluates the proposed changes in the law, aimed at systemically depriving officers, soldiers, collaborators and employees of the security apparatus of the Polish Peoples’ Republic (PRL) of their privileges. She considers them as meeting the postulate of axiological consistency of the Polish legal order. At the same time she draws attention to possible problems with the constitutionality of the proposed provisions, especially in the context of the principle of care for the veterans of the fight for independence and the principles of providing social security.

This article presents the problem faced by the First Azerbaijani Democratic Republic after the proclamation of its statehood in 1918—namely, the lack of a national army. The author describes the beginning of the formation of the Azerbaijani army, the conscription of new recruits from society and their military training, as well as the deepening of their knowledge in terms of the history of Azerbaijan and civic obligations. This article shows the level of patriotic awareness of citizens at the beginning of 1918 and two years later following the programme of educating the society. It also compares the level of armaments and financial status of the conscripts at the beginning of the army’s formation and at the moment when the Red Army occupied the country in 1920.

Objectives: The aim of this article is to assess the health behaviors of Polish Army soldiers participating in the National Health Programme 2016–2020 in relation to types of armed forces, BMI and selected demographic factors. Material and Methods: Anthropometric and questionnaire data were obtained in a group of 1229 soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces (PAF) from military units from all over Poland. Health behaviors patterns were assessed using the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI), developed by Juczyński. Results: The HBI of PAF soldiers was 79.9±12.68, indicating an average score. Statistically significant differences were found in the HBI values and in the individual categories of health behaviors according to the type of armed forces. The highest scores in each category of health behaviors were obtained by the Air Force (AF) soldiers. The lowest HBI score was obtained by the Land Forces and Territorial Defence Forces soldiers. Soldiers with higher education obtained significantly higher scores in such health categories as proper eating habits, preventive behaviors and health practices, compared to respondents with secondary education. Soldiers residing in cities had statistically significantly higher health behaviors intensities in all categories, compared to village residents. A significantly higher score in all health categories was noted in soldiers with normal body weight compared to those with diagnosed obesity. There was no significant relationship between the age of the respondents and health behaviors. Conclusions: The study found that factors such as type of armed forces, BMI, place of residence and education level were significant for the adoption of health behaviors by PAF. The level of health practices was significantly higher among AF soldiers compared to other types of armed forces. It seems necessary to further disseminate education on pro-health behaviors, especially among soldiers with obesity through participation in organized training and psychodietetic consultations as part of the National Health Programme.

Habits are a peculiar component of culture, which currently have more functions in society. The function to identify is among the identification which classifies an individual as a member of “his/her” group, defines him or her and serves as an instrument for differentiation. The functions are an important element in the construction of a feeling of pride on the membership in a given group. The study submits a view of the specific realm of funeral habits and military funeral ceremonies within the military community with focus on the description of the current form of these habits in the environment of the Armed Forces of the Slovakian Republic. It introduces the basic formal means that are used in this environment in the case of a soldier´s death. The author observes how standards and rules are applied. She searches for an answer to the question whether there is a space in this strict environment hampered by norms to undertake spontaneous activities, not defined in the rules, related to funeral ceremonies and farewells, or other specific expressions that are part of life of this socio-professional group. The study pays attention to specific types of ritual activities, such as ramp ceremony and welcome ceremony, the theme of soldiers - suicides, and the ratio of religious funeral ceremonies in the military environment.

Security, especially military security, is a state that gives a sense of certainty and a guarantee of its preservation and is ensured especially by the armed forces – soldiers. There are professions that are associated with above-average levels of both health and psychological costs. Without any doubt, this group includes the profession of soldier. Soldiers are exposed to enormous stress while on duty, and maintaining an appropriate mental condition has a direct impact on the effectiveness of the activities they undertake, including combat activities, which affect our level of safety. The ability to cope with stress in the event of a threat is important, not only for the health of participants, but above all, it has a significant impact on the level of collective safety. Military service involves constant improvement of one’s skills. It was noticed that an effective commander is a specialist in both military operations and combat stress. A commander whose actions affect not only the safety of the soldier, but also the safety of a given society. All the more so because the leader is largely responsible for alleviating operational stress in his soldiers; therefore, he cannot remain indifferent to the causes and consequences of combat stress. The authors of this article aimed to analyze the level of sense of coherence and styles of coping with stress among soldiers.

This publication, consisting of two parts, presents the inhabitants of the Siemień commune appointed to serve in the tsarist army. The first part is a general summary of the collected material, the second part is the quintessence of the topic, because it presents the name of the inhabitants of the commune of Siemień - soldiers of the army of the Russian Empire. Established in 1867, the Siemień commune in the Radzyń poviat included 16 towns. These were the villages of Siemień, Tulniki, Wola Tulnicka, Pomyków, Wólka Siemieńska, Łubka (Łupka), Przymus, Sewerynówka, Gródek, Kopich (Brwinów), Władysławów, Nadzieja, Juliopol, Dzialyn, Wierzchowina and Amelin. Archival materials from Russian archives, available in the project “Памяти героев Великой войны 1914–1918 годов” (gwar.mil.ru) and the files of the District Court in Biała Podlaska constitute the basic source of knowledge about conscripts from the commune of Siemień. We can learn about their place of residence, marital status, age, religion, regimental affiliation, and in some cases about the level of education. Based on the above sources, it was possible to determine from the name and surname 142 residents of the Siemień commune who served in the Russian army during the First World War.

The present article deals with the development of restriction of freedom under the Polish legal system. Its original formulation is presented as well as the changes has undergone, and finally its present form. This penalty was introduced into the Polish legal order by the act passed on 14 May 1969 (Penal Code). Further, it features as a sanction for offences in the Petty Offences Code (20 May 1971) and in the Fiscal Penal Act passed on 26 October 1971 – as a sanction for financial offences. The penalty of restriction of freedom in its current form was enacted on 10 September 1999 (Fiscal Penal Code). The presented article outlines the many distinctions between this kind of sanction under the Fiscal Penal Code and the one under the Criminal Code. Moreover, differences regarding this penalty in relation to soldiers are discussed. New prospects concerning restriction of freedom are presented in the light of planned changes to Penal Code Changes drafted by the Criminal Law Codification Commission on 9 November 2013.

Despite being the object of research conducted by military historians, so far military normative acts have found little interest as a historical source for the study of the changes of piety and religiosity among soldiers. The studies can relate to three clearly defined phenomena such as the institution of military chaplains, religious ceremonies and the spread of the concept of God. Thus, this article constitutes an attempt to present the methodological assumptions allowing to extract from the sources – military records – more information than just data relating to the contents formally connoted by the legal regulations. The basis of the presented analysis constitutes the research devoted to the study of the development of the Polish and Lithuanian military laws till the middle of the 17ᵗʰ century.

Wojskowe akta normatywne, choć stanowią przedmiot badań historyków wojskowości, jak dotąd w niewielkim stopniu były wykorzystywane jako źródło historyczne do badań nad przemianami pobożności oraz religijności żołnierzy. Tego typu badania odnosić się mogą do trzech wyraźnie określonych fenomenów, takich jak: instytucja kapelanów wojskowych, ceremonie religijne oraz propagowanie koncepcji Boga. Artykuł stanowi zatem próbę zaprezentowania założeń metodologicznych umożliwiających wydobycie ze źródeł – artykułów wojskowych – informacji wykraczających poza treść formalnie konotowaną przez przepis prawny. Podstawę zaprezentowanych analiz stanowią badania poświęcone rozwojowi polskich i litewskich praw wojskowych w okresie do połowy XVII wieku.

There were already a few Ukrainians in Piotrków Trybunalski during the tsarist reign. Most often, they were soldiers of the Russian army. Refugees from Ukraine also appeared in Piotrków during World War I, and a large group arrived there after 1920. The troops of the Ukrainian People’s Republic fought alongside the Polish army against Soviet Russia. However, the Ukrainians did not manage to create an independent state, and the Ukrainian army was interned in Poland. Internment camp No. 11 was located in Piotrków, in the barracks of the Polish army. Established between December 1920 and January 1921, it was dissolved in November 1921. It was the smallest of such camps in Poland: there were between 372 and 576 soldiers and their family members there. Compared to other similar establishments, the internment camp in Piotrków stood out in terms of its good-quality housing. It was in fact a place of permanent residence rather than isolation. During the day, the Ukrainian soldiers were able to leave the camp and move freely around the city and its surroundings. They could also take up paid jobs. In addition, the internees could conduct educational, cultural, religious, sports, and publishing activities, as well as run craft workshops. There was also a cultural-educational club and a school for the illiterate internees. In the camp foreign language courses and classes in the history of Ukrainian writing were organized as well. There was also a choir, and several magazines were published. Finally, some of the young people were members of the Union of Interned Ukrainian Students. However, there was no chapel, and the internees used the Orthodox Church in Piotrków. After the camp was dissolved, some of the soldiers remained in Piotrków. Approximately, 140-170 of them lived in the city at various times. The best educated Ukrainians worked as clerks and others worked in factories and on farms. Some of them married Polish women, and their descendants have lived in Piotrków to this day.

Nieliczni Ukraińcy przebywali w Piotrkowie Trybunalskim już w okresie panowania carskiego. Najczęściej byli żołnierzami armii rosyjskiej. Także w czasie I wojny światowej pojawili się w Piotrkowie uchodźcy pochodzący z Ukrainy. Większa grupa Ukraińców przybyła do Piotrkowa po 1920 roku. Wojska Ukraińskiej Republiki Ludowej walczyły u boku Wojska Polskiego przeciwko sowieckiej Rosji. Ukraińcy nie zdołali jednak utworzyć niepodległego państwa, zaś wojska ukraińskie zostały internowane w Polsce. Obóz Internowanych nr 11 znajdował się w Piotrkowie, na terenie koszar Wojska Polskiego. Powstał na przełomie grudnia 1920 i stycznia 1921 roku, został zlikwidowany w listopadzie 1921 roku. Był to najmniejszy z podobnych obozów w Polsce. Przebywało w nim od 372 do 576 osób – żołnierzy i członków ich rodzin. Na tle innych podobnych placówek piotrkowski obóz dla internowanych wyróżniał się pod względem dobrej jakości warunków lokalowych. Faktycznie był miejscem stałego zakwaterowania, a nie izolacji. Żołnierze ukraińscy mieli w ciągu dnia możliwość opuszczania obozu i swobodnego poruszania się po mieście i jego okolicy. Mogli podejmować pracę zarobkową. Internowani mogli prowadzić działalność oświatową, kulturalną, religijną, sportową i wydawniczą, mogli tworzyć i prowadzić warsztaty rzemieślnicze. W obozie w Piotrkowie w 1921 roku funkcjonowało kółko kulturalno-oświatowe. Utworzono szkołę dla analfabetów. Organizowano kursy języków obcych oraz historii ukraińskiego piśmiennictwa. W obozie działał chór. Wydawano kilka czasopism. W Piotrkowie działał w 1921 roku Związek Internowanych Ukraińskich Studentów. Nie utworzono natomiast kaplicy, a internowani korzystali z piotrkowskiej cerkwi prawosławnej. Po rozwiązaniu obozu część byłych żołnierzy pozostała w Piotrkowie. W różnych latach przebywało ich w mieście około 140-170. Najlepiej wykształceni pracowali jako urzędnicy, inni jako robotnicy w fabrykach i rolnictwie. Część ożeniła się z Polkami, a ich potomkowie mieszkają w Piotrkowie do dziś.

Sapiehowie i Potoccy byli jednymi z najbardziej wpływowych rodzin w dawnej Rzeczypospolitej. Druga z wymienionych familii posiadała liczne dobra na Ukrainie, które rujnowały częste przemarsze żołnierzy litewskich. Władzę nad nimi sprawował hetman wielki Kazimierz Jan Sapieha. Zasadniczym celem artykułu jest rozpatrzenie kwestii dotyczącej możliwej ochrony przez hetmana Sapiehę dóbr Potockich w zamian za ich głosy poparcia na sejmie i obronę w czasie ataków na litewskiego dowódcę wywołanych jego absencją pod Wiedniem.

The Sapiehas and the Potockis were amongst the most influential families of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. The latter family owned numerous estates in Ukraine, which were directly under threat from marching Lithuanian soldiers. Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, Grand Hetman of Lithuania was in charge of the said estates. Due to cooperation of the two magnate families, he attempted to shield the Potockis’ estates and possessions from Lithuanian troops marching to or returning from the war with Turkey. To that aim he utilised legal proclamations called Universals. The Potockis returned the favour by entering into political collaboration. Hetman Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, having been absentfrom the Siege of Vienna, had to incur accusations and attacks during Sejm proceedings. He was then (1684) defended in a propaganda letter by Andrzej Potocki, Castellan of Kraków. The research themes analysed in the article serve as both, an introductory outline and a voice in the discussion regarding cooperation of Lithuanian and Polish noble families in the second half of the 17th century.
