This paper aims to present the history of the School of Political Sciences in Warsaw since 1915 to the beginning of WWII. It is also an attempt to depict its origins and the evolution of its academic model inspired by the Paris Institute of Political Studies (École Libre des Sciences Politiques). The School of Political Sciences is shown from the perspective of former Polish émigrés in the Circle of former Polish students from Leipzig, led by Edmund Jan Reymann. Reyman, the founder and head of the school, brought about the setting up of the Social Institute (IS). The paper focuses on the role the School of Political Sciences in Warsaw, which operated from a modernistic building, played in the development of political sciences both in the capital and across the country. The school had become an academic centre equipped with modern facilities like specialist studies, libraries, research institutes and rich collections. Under the auspices of the school and IS many publishing activities were undertaken, the flagship being the Encyclopedia of Political Sciences, the biggest publication devoted to political sciences in the inter‑war period. This had led to the school acquiring the status of the Academy of Political Sciences in 1939.

Ludwik Bohdan Grzeniewski (1930–2008) was Polish essayist, poet, critic and novelist. He was born and died in Warsaw, where he spent all his life. Well known as varsavianist, he was also master of literary miniature. It is not a literary genre in the strict sense. “Literary miniature”, coherent artistic statement, as short as possible, combines elements of poem, essay, short narrative and others. Grzeniewski always highly valued precision, he preferred condensed form of expression. I therefore think, that the books of this writer (Igły w stogu siana, “Drobiazgów duch, wspaniały i powietrzny…”, Taniec z mufką and others) deserve attention.

There is a strong tendency to connect this image with the current political (and psychological) situation, from the enthusiasm of rebuilding Warsaw just after the war to the depressive moods of the late fifties and sixties. The ruins of the city are depicted as a symbol of political and social changes in Poland in this article.

The creative sector has become an important source used to create competitive advantages of the cities. The importance of creative industries in urban development was spotted more than a decade ago. Creative capital is perceived as an impulse and engine of urban changes, a source of new advantages and attractions. Some point out that it mainly develops in big cities, where the authorities deliberately implement measures aimed at supporting and attracting creative entities. The purpose of this study is to present the condition of the creative sector in Warsaw and the way its functioning is perceived by its representatives. It also discusses the support of city authorities for the development of the creative sector.

The article presents trends of change in Warsaw's economic structure and their influence upon the formation of the city's functional and spatial structure. Using the latest data on the employment structure and kinds of economic entities and their distribution, an attempt has also been made to determine the degree of absorption of the city economy by pro-development activities. On the basis of experiences of other European cities activity types indicating the existence of development trends in the city economy (pro-development activities) were chosen. Next, changes in the number of economic entities in these areas in 1988-2004 were analyzed. Research on the distribution of economic entities in Warsaw is based upon data from the REGON register.

This study determines the approximate duration of the thermal seasons in Warsaw, and investigates their long-term variability. The measurement data come from the Ursynów meteorological station at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS) (λE 21°02’52’’, φN 52°09’38’’, 102.5 m a.s.l.), situated in the south of Warsaw, and comprise mean diurnal air temperatures for the years 1961-2013. In order to identify thermal seasons, the method of five-day rolling averages was applied, which revealed a substantial year-by-year variability. The achieved results were close to those found by other methods for stations situated within the same climatic region. Over the analysed period, winters and springs have become shorter, whereas the other two seasons have become longer. Nevertheless, the positive trend was only statistically significant for thermal summers. The increasing length of the thermal summer in Warsaw Ursynów may be due to the influence of urban heat islands in built-up areas.

The emergence of civil justice after the evacuation of Russians from the Polish Kingdom in 1915. This is one of the most important moments in the history of Polish judiciary. After more than a century of power invaders there is a chance to regain control over the administration and the judiciary. Polish lawyers had hoped that the occupiers leave the judiciary in their hands. Warsaw and Lublin - the fastest two centers operating in the Kingdom have become a role model for other courts. Regulations approved by the Committee of Citizens in Warsaw described the organization of the local judicial institutions. Its provisions became a model for the courts of Lublin, modifications resulted only from local relations. In addition to the changes in the organization and structure of the judiciary was introduced innovations in the rules of substantive law, both civil and criminal. They eased and modernize the existing legislation of the Russian case studies. The need for the establishment of the civil courts, as well as their functioning efficiently also testified by the number of pending cases. Polish lawyers hope to permanently take over the judiciary in the Kingdom were quickly snuffed out by the occupation authorities. Both in Warsaw and Lublin Polish citizens' initiative was considered as illegal and brought to its liquidation. However, experience has resulted in a few weeks on September 1 IX 1917 at the time of the recovery from the hands of the occupiers of justice.

Próby inwentaryzacji i udokumentowania Miejsc Pamięci Narodowej, tak charakterystycznych w ikonosferze Warszawy, były podejmowane wcześniej wielokrotnie. Wynik tych prób w korelacji do posiadanych w zbiorach archiwalnych badanych materiałów, wyraźnie wykazuje braki, błędy lub ograniczenia zakresu do inwentaryzacji fotograficznej, lub zawężenia wykazu tylko do konkretnego okresu (np. Powstania Warszawskiego). W efekcie mojego projektu, opracowana została pełna ewidencja i rejestracja tablic i monolitów, upamiętniających historię miasta w okresie tragicznych wydarzeń ostatniej wojny, autorstwa rzeźbiarza Karola Tchorka. Zebrana baza materiałowa: dokumentacja fotograficzna, ocena stanu technicznego, uporządkowanie danych w oparciu dokumenty archiwalne, pozwoli też mam nadzieję, na opracowanie graficzne i wydanie publikacji - mapy Warszawy wraz z ukazaniem tła wydarzeń, w formie przewodnika po Miejscach Pamięci. Dokumentacja i wyniki projektu zostały przekazane Fundacji Tchorek-Bentall, która zgodnie ze Statutem sprawuje opiekę nad spuścizną artystyczną Karola Tchorka.

Attempts at making inventories of, and documenting National Memory Sites, so characteristic for the iconosphere of Warsaw, have been undertaken upon numerous occasions. The outcome of those endeavours in correlation to the examined material in archival collections distinctly indicates gaps, errors, or restrictions of the range to photographic inventories or limiting the list to a concrete period (e.g. the Warsaw Uprising). The project presented by the author of this article produced a complete record and registration of plaques and monoliths designed by the sculptor Karol Tchorek and commemorating the history of the town during the tragic events of the last war. The accumulated material basis: photographic documentation, assessment of the technical state, and an orderly arrangement of data upon the basis of archival documents will, hopefully, enable a graphic study and the issuing of a publication – a map of Warsaw showing the background of events in the form of a guidebook to Memory Sites. The documentation and outcome of the project were entrusted to the Tchorek-Bentall Foundation, which, in accordance with its Statute, is the guardian of the artistic bequest of Karol Tchorek.

In 1726, as a result of extensions made to the royal residence on the Krakowskie Przedmieście, the Warsaw-based Order of St. John of God (Italian: Fatebenefratelli) were forced to sell part of their real estate and thus relocate their monastery to another site. The order signed a contract with architects Antoni Solari and Józef Fontana for the construction of a new church, monastery and hospital on lands acquired in the modern-day district of Muranów. The ensuing design was never carried out in full. Jakub Fontana’s design is recorded in a drawing discovered by the author of this article originating from 1760 which has served as a key source in rereading the building history and design phases of the monastery complex

The article presents scientific personalities and main achievements of two great scholars: Alfred Tarski and Władysław Tatarkiewicz. They represent different disciplines: Tatarkiewicz was first of all an aesthetician and historian of philosophy; Tarski was a logician and mathematician. The article, however, concentrates on similarities between them. Firstly, both Tatarkiewicz and Tarski are counted among members of the Lvov-Warsaw School. Secondly, they were born and worked in Warsaw (in the case of Tarski – until the outbreak of the World War II). Thirdly, they were strongly attached to their homeland: Poland. Fourthly, one of the common motives of their views is philosophical absolutism. The article is based on the lecture delivered on the 29th of November, 2016, at the University of Warsaw. The lecture was a part of the naming ceremony of two lecture halls at the Institute of Philosophy (Krakowskie Przedmieście 3) in honor, respectively, of Tatarkiewicz and Tarski.

The subject of this article is a big city social Policy towards old people with an example of Warsaw. The author was inspired to write this text with her partici- pation in a workgroup “Exclusion of elderly persons,” which prepared a diagnosis and formulated initial suggestions to the Social Strategy for Warsaw 2009–2020. It seems, that regardless the differences between big towns, basic goals and assumptions for the policy towards senior citizens are similar in the majority of metropolitan communities. Due to the fact that any proposal concerning social policy should be preceded by a diag- nosis, the article begins with the description of demographic situation of big Polish towns (above half million population) and with a diagnosis of the situation of senior citi- zens in Warsaw. Demographic and socio-economic data were obtained from the Central Statistical Office publications.

Alceo Valcini was the Warsaw-based correspondent for the Italian daily “Corriere della Sera” during the years 1933-1946. Valcini encountered great difficulties with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Aldo Borelli, who was not interested in following the political life of Poland except for Poland’s clashes with the Soviet Union. Valcini managed to publish his articles as long as they stressed the influence of Mussolini’s fascism on Polish political life or if they dealt with Soviet political interference in Central Europe. Valcini was to be replaced by another journalist as correspondent from Warsaw because of his own pro-Polish views and scarce enthusiasm for the aggressive stances of Nazi Germany towards Czechoslovakia and Poland, but he nevertheless managed to witness Hitler’s aggression against Poland. His stories were the first accounts of German persecution of the Polish Jews and Warsaw’s civil population, although they had no chance of publication on the pages of the increasingly pro-Nazi “Corriere della Sera”. Valcini took notice of everything that happened in Poland between the outbreak of the war and the end of July 1944. In 1945, Valcini collected his memoirs in a publication entitled The Calvary of Warsaw, in which he gave a graphic account of life in the city under German occupation. Valcini witnessed to the uprising in the Jewish Ghetto and to the activities of the Polish Secret State. His book was translated into Polish in 1970, after having undergone heavy editing, possibly as a result of intervention by the Communist censors. In any event, Valcini turned out to be one of the very few Italian journalists who – in writing about World War II and the Nazi occupation of Poland – did not fall prey to Goebbel’s Propagandaministerium, unlike the much more celebrated reporter Indro Montanelli.
