This article discusses the relationships between father Jozef Maria Bochenski and (organised by members of the Polish exiled independence movement) academic institutions in the United King-dom including: The Polish University Abroad, Polish Society of Arts and Sciences Abroad and Polish Catholic University Association „Veritas”. This article discusses little known and often overlooked by researchers aspects of Jozef community activism and scientific work. Showing the Eastern European Institute founder at the Catholic University in Freiburg as a sovietologist and a spiritual guide for Polish intellectuals and scientists living in exile (away from Soviet – dominated Poland). A man who never accepted the political system in Poland imposed after World War 2. Philosopher, who yearned for intellectual freedom and liberal education while criticising communism, demanded respect for Catholics’ rights and those nations oppressed by non-democratic regimes. The article also touches upon Bochenski’s didactic activity and his lifelong commitment to supporting other philosophers and logics – prof. B. Sobociński, prof. Z. Jordan and prof. Anna Teresa Tymieniecka.

Peter Wandycz is one of the most renowned historians of Polish origin to achieve academic success in the West after WWII, reaching the position of professor at Yale University. Leopold Łabędź, born three years earlier (in 1920), is another example of a brilliant career of Polish post‑war emigrant, namely one of the most renowned sovietologists, as well as co‑founder and editor of the quarterly “Survey”. The parallel biographies of these two outstanding repre­sentatives of the generation, which experienced WWII in their twenties and decided to stay in the West, served here as a basis for reflection on the changes of the concept and importance of Polish emigration. The starting point of the consideration is the opinion expressed in 1954 by a well‑known journalist, Juliusz Mieroszewski, who stated that the new generation of Polish immi­grants would be melting into the cultural and political life of their countries of settlement, thus allowing them to impact on the political consciousness of the Western elites. The comparison of examples of life decisions and achievements of Peter Wandycz and Leopold Łabędź constitutes a good opportunity for the verification of this assertion.

Piotr Wandycz jest jednym z najbardziej uznanych historyków polskiego pocho­dzenia, który zrobił karierę akademicką na Zachodzie po II wojnie, osiągając profesurę na Yale University. Leopold Łabędź, urodzony trzy lata wcześniej (w 1920), jest także przykładem bły­skotliwej kariery wojennego wychodźcy z Polski – w tym wypadku w roli jednego z najbardziej uznanych w świecie sowietologów, współzałożyciela i redaktora kwartalnika „Survey”. Równoległe życiorysy tych dwóch wybitnych przedstawicieli wojennego pokolenia dwudziestolatków, którzy pozostali na Zachodzie, są tutaj kanwą do refleksji nad przemianami pojęcia i znaczenia emigracji polskiej. Punktem wyjścia jest pogląd znanego publicysty, Juliusza Mieroszewskiego, wyrażony w 1954 roku, zakładający, że nowe pokolenie polskich emigrantów będzie „wtapiało się” w życie kulturalne i polityczne krajów swojego osiedlenia i że przez to właśnie osiągnąć zdoła wpływ na świadomość polityczną elit Zachodu. Porównane między sobą przykłady decyzji życiowych i osiągnięć Piotra Wandycza i Leopolda Łabędzia są dobrą okazją do weryfikacji tej tezy.
