The objective of the paper is to present Russian anniversaries that commemorate important historical events as phenomena with a dual, rhetorical and ironic character. Rhetoric and irony are used with reference to individuals as well as imagined communities, such as nations. The memory of some historical events, or the lack of such memory, as well as the manners of referring to these events or ignoring them, result in the transformation of what community members think about themselves and their entanglement in common existence and fate. Therefore, changes of remembrance and oblivion, recollection or forgetting can integrate or disintegrate, intensifying the pride or shame of one’s national identity, which eventually results in satisfaction or frustration, and sometimes in a sense of superiority or inferiority. Pride and satisfaction are produced by rhetoric, while shame and frustration – by irony. Sometimes rhetorical-ironic playing with the past assumes particular significance, becoming an exceptionally important factor in social and political life. This phenomenon strongly intensified in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century, becoming a veritable ‘anniver- sary-mania’, and in 2012, which President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, de- clared the Year of Russian History. The periods analyzed in the paper are around one hundred years apart. Russian society has totally changed over this period, mainly as a result of the revolution, two world wars and several decades of communist rule. In 1990, the Russian Federation was established, a state with an authoritarian-democratic hybrid of a political system. Despite these transformations, modern Russians repeat numerous set behavioral patterns from the beginning of the 20th century. These patterns are used by the advocates of affirmative as well as critical approaches to the history of Russia and the current social and political situation in the country.

Polish-Russian relations seem to be heavily burdened by historical experience. History in- fluences the present not only indirectly, via historical facts, but also via the ways of commem- orating them. Referring to their memories, social groups strengthen the sense of their own uniqueness and cultural identity. One of the ways to commemorate events are anniversary celebrations accompanied by a certain political rhetoric. The author analyzes the texts, press releases, commentaries and an- niversary speeches given by politicians to commemorate the Katyñ massacre published by the „Gazeta Wyborcza” and „Rzeczpospolita” daily in April 1990, 2000 and 2010. Among the figures of memory identified in the analyzed texts which are typical of the Pol- ish-Russian dialogue concerning the Katyñ issue over the period of 1990–2010, there prevails a certain group of topoi appropriated by the language of politics from Christianity, and pre- cisely from the sacrament of confession. These topoi are based on reconciliation and compen- sation. Other topoi involve those of a victim, righteous Russian or a common field of memory.

The article aims to answer several questions: can Polish national anniversaries (from the 19th Century to 1914) be treated as a medium of cultural memory? To what extent can the concept of cultural memory be a useful tool for analysing anniversaries? Do societies remember the national anniversaries, and how do they remember them? The starting point are the concepts of the cultural memory studies researchers. The discussion refers to the ideas on, inter alia, the ways in which cultural memory operates (including the concepts of Aleida Assman and Astrid Erll, as well as the analyses by Paul Connerton). Utilising these studies has enabled an illustration of the issues related directly to the conventions and indicators of anniversaries (here, especially: collective memory, cultural memory and canon, media of collective memory, myth and ritual, ceremonies of remembrance, cultural performances, popular literature / culture and the memory of cultures). Theoretical discussions have been based on examples from the second half of 19th Century and early 20th Century (the press, anniversary pamphlets, anniversary handbooks, printed annotations for transparencies, and finally series of slides). The proposed chronological framework has allowed a depiction of the constancy of commemorative rituals and an examination of specific displays of anniversary celebrations (for example, the cult of heroes of the sword – text dated 19th Century to early 20th Century; among others, Sobieski, Kościuszko, Mickiewicz, Słowacki).

This article analyses the interpretation method devised by Přemysl Blažíček, based on his phenomenology-oriented philosophy and hermeneutics. It raises the question whether it is possible for an interpretation to go beyond a literary-historical and formal analysis of literary texts and to refer to a new experience of the world that is offered to the reader. It also incidentally atempts to seek out the philosophical foundations on which an interpretation of this kind is based.

This article attempts to provide an answer as to why the Jewish combatants founded the Union of Jews Participants of Combat for Polish Independence (Związek Żydów Uczestników Walk o Niepodległość Polski), which operated in the period of 1929–1939. It was the only combatant organization in the Second Polish Republic that represented a national minority. The focus of this article is on the origin of the Union, its aims, goals and activities, as well as its developed organizational structure. Taken into consideration were also the Union’s fundamental activities such as supporting self-help organizations, participating in annual events concerned with Polish history, spreading the knowledge of Jewish combatants’ involvement in the fight for Poland’s independence as well as the Union’s protest against anti-Semitism in the 1930s and the Union’s activities abroad. The Union was needed, because it allowed the Jewish combatants to take an active role in building up the Polish state, which had been erased from the maps for 123 years, influence its activities and at the same time supporting it and helping protect the interests of the whole Jewish community, in Poland and abroad. Members of the Union, the Jewish combatants who fought for Poland’s independence, felt themselves entitled to, as well as morally obliged, protect their interests as well as those of the community they represented. They vied for respect and tolerance for their community and for the equal treatment of all Polish citizens, including Jews.

Artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, z jakiego powodu żydowscy kombatanci skupiali się w Związku Żydów Uczestników Walk o Niepodległość Polski, który prowadził działalność w latach 1929–1939. Była to jedyna w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej organizacja kombatancka reprezentująca mniejszość narodową. W rozważaniach zwrócono uwagę na genezę tego związku, jego cele i zadania oraz rozbudowaną strukturę organizacyjną. Uwzględniono również jego zasadnicze pola aktywności, takie jak działalność samopomocowa, uczestnictwo w uroczystościach rocznicowych związanych z historią Polski, popularyzowanie wiedzy o udziale Żydów w walkach o niepodległość Polski. Zwrócono uwagę na występowanie Związku przeciw przejawom antysemityzmu w Polsce w drugiej połowie lat trzydziestych XX w. oraz na jego aktywność na arenie międzynarodowej. Związek był potrzebny żydowskim kombatantom, aby brać aktywny udział w budowie państwa polskiego, po 123 latach niewoli, wpływać na jego funkcjonowanie, a zarazem wspomagać się wzajemnie i bronić interesów całej społeczności żydowskiej zarówno w Polsce, jak i na arenie międzynarodowej. Skupieni w nim żydowscy kombatanci, którzy uczestniczyli w walkach o niepodległość Polski, uważali, że mają szczególne prawo, a zarazem moralny obowiązek, aby występować w interesie swojego środowiska, jak również w interesie całej społeczności żydowskiej w Polsce, domagając się szacunku, traktowania na równi z innymi obywatelami państwa oraz tolerancji.
