This article presents the fate of Polish soldiers in Soviet captivity after 17 September 1939. Some of them (including reserve officers) ended up in the NKVD camp Pavlishchev Bor (Smolensk region). The camp functioned until the outbreak of the Soviet-German war.

Artykuł dotyczy losów polskich żołnierzy, którzy znaleźli się w niewoli sowieckiej po 17 września 1939 r. Pewna ich liczba (w tym oficerowie rezerwy) trafiła do obozu NKWD Pawliszczew Bor (obwód smoleński). Obóz funkcjonował do wybuchu wojny sowiecko-niemieckiej.

American society has been the subject of many changes in recent years. In this context, important was an increasing liberalization of communities of large cities. But also, as a response to this process, there could be seen a growing influence of the conservative Tea Party supporters. Changes in the national structure consisting of reducing the share of white community for African Americans and immigrants are also noticeable. Important implications also caused the recent economic crisis resulting in differentiation of the standard of living of different social groups. It is therefore interesting to analyze how two major American parties responded to these changes. The ground for such an analysis are especially presidential elections because of the importance that the head of state has in the policy of the United States.

Культурные различия между цивилизациями Востока и Запада заметны в системе декларируемых ценностей и во многих аспектах повседневной жизни. Это касается и подхода к плену, что наглядно продемонстрировали события первых лет после окончания Второй мировой войны. Примером этого может служить обращение с бывшими солдатами японской и немецкой армий, попавшими в плен после окончания войны, после их возвращения на родину. Поэтому цель данной статьи – показать источники этих различий и, в меньшей степени, примеры поведения, вызванного ими. Анализ, проведенный в тексте, заключался в ссылке на исторические, экономические, социальные, религиозные или психологические условия, которые, взаимопроникая друг друга, привели к возникновению разного восприятия роли человека в обществе и его обязательств перед обществом. Эти условия определили особенности отношения представителей каждой культуры в сложных военных и послевоенных условиях. Объясняя готовность приносить в жертву солдат японской армии и важность чести для них, была сделана ссылка на влияние конфуцианства, буддизма, синтоизма и традиции бусидо. Следовательно, показ глубоко укоренившихся причин отношения, описанного в статье, должен был дать возможность их объяснения.

Cultural differences between Western and Eastern civilizations are noticeable in the system of professed values and in many aspects of life. This also applies to the approach to captives, which was clearly demonstrated by the events of the first years after the end of World War II. An example could be the way in which former Japanese and German soldiers, who were captured after the end of the war, were treated after their return to homeland. This article aims to show the sources of these differences and, to a lesser extent, examples of behaviors which they caused. The analysis consists of references to historical, economic, social, religious, and psychological conditions, which, as intertwined, resulted in the emergence of different perceptions of an individual’s role in a society and his obligations toward the community. These conditions determined the specific attitudes of representatives of each culture in difficult war and post-war circumstances. Explaining the Japanese soldiers’ willingness to sacrifice and the importance of honor for them, reference was made to the influences of Confucianism, Buddhism, Shinto, and the bushido tradition. Showing the deeply rooted reasons for the attitudes described in the article was therefore supposed to enable their explanation.

In Asian countries authoritarian relationships have been noticeable for centuries not only on political but also on social grounds.The teachings of Confucius were important in this aspect. According to many au­thors, they still exert a significant influence in North Korea and have an impact on the durability of Kim Jong-un. However, there are also opinions that it is a big mistake to describe this country as Confucian. For this reason the aim of this article is to show the real meaning of this ideology in North Korea. This will be done by demonstrating similarities of the present situation to the principles of Confucianism, as well as denials of the guidelines of this ideology. As a result, this will allow the author to analyze how Confucian traditions can determine the future of the regime in Pyongyang.

Korea Północna często postrzegana jest jako najbardziej odizolowane państwo świata. Izolacja ta może być jednym z kluczowych czynników zapewniających trwanie tamtejszego reżimu rodziny Kimów. Od kilkunastu lat jednak bariera informacyjna zaczyna być tam coraz częściej naruszana. Artykuł ten opisuje zatem sposoby przekazywania informacji do KRLD oraz stanowi analizę tego, czy proces ten może spowodować w Korei Północnej znaczące zmiany społeczno- -polityczne.

North Korea is often seen as the most isolated country in the world. This isolation may be one of the key factors ensuring the rule of the Kim’s family. For the last several years, however, the information barrier has been increasingly violated there. This article therefore describes how information is provided to the DPRK and examines whether this process can cause significant socio-political changes in North Korea.
