Kresy wschodnie źródłem siły i potęgi Polski

Over six million Poles, accounting for nearly 20% of the country's population, have ancestral roots tracing back to the former Eastern Borderlands. Paradoxically, many of these individuals now reside in Poland's Southern and Western Borderlands. Unfortunately, both the historical and contemporary awareness of the Eastern Borderlands is not strongly emphasized within the national consciousness.

The book features a collection of papers from a conference attended by various scholars and editors. Edited by Stanisław Srokowski, it includes notable contributions such as "Wartości budowane przez Rzeczypospolitą kresową." Dr. Andrzej Biały discusses the situation of Poles in Belarus between 1921 and 1939, while Dr. Stanisław Krajski argues that the Borderlands should be reintegrated into Poland. Dr. Jan Ciechanowicz provides a historical overview of the Saint John's Academy in Vilnius, marking 440 years of the Vilnius University. Marcin Skalski examines the destruction of Polish autonomy in the Vilnius region as a peak of Prometheism policies.

Additional contributions include Arkadiusz Miksa's reflection on Archbishop Józef Teodorowicz, highlighting his dual role as an Armenian cleric and a Polish statesman on the 80th anniversary of his death. Anna Pruska-Wiszniowska focuses on the Jesuit Society's defense and propagation of faith in the Borderlands, referencing figures like Piotr Skarga and Saint Andrew Bobola. The annexes contain Dr. Marta Cywińska's work on the enduring legacy of the Borderlands, Marcin Skalski's exploration of anti-Polonism as a foundation of new Lithuanian national identity, and a resolution by the National Directorate of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) dated June 22, 1990.
