Roman Dmowski on Ukraine – prophetic projection of political realism

Abstract

The main goal of this article is to analyze the theses of Roman Dmowski's geopolitical reflectionrelating to Ukraine. The author intends to demonstrate that Dmowski is exceptionally accurate in his observations regarding the Ukrainian nation and state and their impact on international security. It must be emphasized that even though 90 years have passed since the publication of the analyzed text, its theses are still valid. Looking at the tragic events beyond our eastern border and understanding the potential risk they generate in the regional and global aspect, it seems justified to study Dmowski's Kwestia ukraińska as a valuable source of knowledge about the causes of the ongoing conflict and its possible consequences.
