Armia Krajowa w ocenach piśmiennictwa i białoruskiej doktryny politycznej w pierwszej dekadzie po rozwiązaniu Związku Sowieckiego

THE HOME ARMY IN THE EVALUATION OF LITERATURE AND THE BELARUSIAN POLITICAL DOCTRINE IN THE FIRST DECADE AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION This work focuses on the negative attitude which is dominant in contemporary Belarusian literature towards the actions of the Home Army in the German-occupied areas of the Nowogródek and Polesie provinces. Currently, Belarusian literature describes these activities in the same way as Soviet literature – it denies Poles the right to conduct independent military operations in, as they call it, “temporarily occupied Western districts of the Belarus Socialist Soviet Republic”. Home Army soldiers, later citizens of the BSRS, most of them repressed during the Stalinist era, are currently not given any rights of WWII veterans. The article presents the unsuccessful efforts by the Union of Poles in Belarus to grant the few members of the Home Army such rights with the so-called rehabilitation of those sentenced in 1944-1956 for participation in the Polish resistance.
