Conclusion: A Third Republic?

Chapter
First Online:

Abstract

The Conclusion explains how, after the fall of communism and the dissolution of the Soviet bloc, free and democratic Poland was announced to be a ‘Third Republic ,’ or the direct continuation of interwar Poland (known as the ‘Second Republic ’). In this way, the heritage of Poland–Lithuania (or the ‘First Republic ’) was claimed for postcommunist Poland. This continuous numbering of the ‘three republics’ explicitly excludes communist Poland from this historical continuity with Poland–Lithuania. However, in the shape of its political boundaries, in its unprecedented ethnolinguistic and ethnoreligious homogeneity, and in the fact that a third of its territory is non-Polish–Lithuanian, postcommunist Poland is the direct continuation of communist Poland, not of interwar Poland, let alone of Poland–Lithuania.

Keywords
