Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to analyze the international dimension of the Polish politics of memory executed by commemorative and anniversary resolutions of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. The adopted resolutions are often sources of conflicts and disputes, which translate into interstate divisions. They also have a negative impact on the relations with other states. The examples of such disputes were discussions on resolutions relating to the seventieth anniversary of the Soviet aggression against Poland (2009) and the seventy third anniversary of the Volhynia massacre (2016). In this essay I make an attempt, among other things, to reconstruct and evaluate them.
