The research methodology is based on objectivity and historicism, within which the principles of generalization, analysis and synthesis, statistical method, as well as retrospective and systemic approaches were applied. The article for the first time comprehensively reflects the main practical approaches and decisions of Polish political, diplomatic, and military leaders against the background of geopolitical, geo-economic, and socio-cultural processes in Eastern Europe at the present stage. Having understood the Russian threat, the Polish political leadership chose the path of resistance in the diplomatic, military, and economic spheres. The diplomacy of official Warsaw operated within the framework of Polish strategic interests, the intentions of leading NATO countries in Central Europe, and Ukrainian national interests. It has been determined that as a result of the influence of the alliance, represented by Washington and Berlin, which is based on an unnatural reaction to the Russian information attack on the use of nuclear weapons and refusal to openly confront the axis of evil (Russia, North Korea, Iran and its proxy, China), Polish politicians are gradually avoiding placing the Ukrainian case in the center of security structures, leaning towards classifying it as peripheral. This change in the approaches of the Polish leadership is caused by the demands of the allies, who fear the transformation of the Russo-Ukrainian War from a local one to a regional one.

On 1 September 2022, there were about 800,000 school-age children and teenagers from Ukraine in Poland. This caused changes in schools where, previously, the vast majority of students were Poles, especially in small towns and the countryside. Considering the above, the article will present the results of a pilot study from the town of Olkusz which can be called a ‘typical’ medium-sized Polish town. The qualitative research involved 280 young people aged 16–21. In the study, they were asked about their attitudes towards their friends from Ukraine and about their situation at school. The research is a pilot study; according to the author, the relationship between students from Poland and Ukraine in Polish schools has not yet been sufficiently explored. The results show that young people, despite their experience in helping Ukraine, are not particularly interested in contact with their peers from Ukraine and in their culture, but, on the other hand, they would not mind if their friend had a girlfriend or boyfriend from Ukraine. They also see that their Ukrainian friends have language problems, but there is no substantial language barrier between them. Research also shows the need for young people to learn about intercultural issues. Poland, accepting thousands of immigrants, like other Central European countries, must prepare for a gradual change in educational policy

Single mothers often need to care for their children alone, creating specific family power dynamics, especially in the setting of transnational reconfiguration, as fathers remain in Ukraine. This article aims to adopt the subjective bottom-up perception of connections associated with navigation in the new environment and shows that power dynamics is on the side of children as they are the dominant driver in the living arrange

However, the theoretical implications of migration aspirations do not address attitudes towards the aspirations of others from the same migrant community, and this article debates this question by using the notion of deservingness and belonging. This study is based on qualitative research and semi-structured interviews with Ukrainians who have obtained temporary protection in the Czech Republic and Poland since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine (24 February 2022). It shows that participants usually refer to the fear of war and the safety of their children, but others from the same community, from the participants’ point of view, migrated because of non-deserving economic reasons and exploitation of opportunities provided by European countries. Therefore, this research introduces the notion of non-deserving migration aspirations and suggests that the (non-)deservingness of migration aspirations differs in the case of self-represented aspirations and presumed aspirations of the broader community.

Ukrainians were offered temporary protection and this is associated with receiving humanitarian aid, housing, social and health insurance and free entrance on the labor market and all levels of education. They were also widely accepted by public, regional administrations and non-governmental organizations. However, in spite of their dispositions, they still struggle with livelihood in both countries due to weaker integration policies. This article is based on semi-structural interviews with fifty-seven Ukrainian refugees in the Czech Republic and Poland, and it shows that despite their prospective dispositions, educational level and general acceptance, they often work in low-skilled jobs due to weak language proficiency and this hinders their adaptation. Thus they often fall into a precarious position although some of them may still feel satisfied as holders of temporary protection.

It was one of the first student performances in the USSR. Over the years, however, the revolution lost part of its name because, as Oles Donii * himself recalls, the full name of the events he helped organise was 'Student Revolution on Granite'. However, the activity of young people was not rewarded, and the opposition, together with the Communists, raised the age for running for election to the Verkhovna Rada, which clearly destroyed the careers of young activists. The authors of the article try to show not only little-known facts from the history of Ukraine's systemic transformation, but also the changes that the revolution brought about in Ukraine's political system. The authors mainly use methods of source analysis, often a little-known position, which undoubtedly positively affects the cognitive value of the article.

In these times, Olkusz belonged to the Kielce Governorate of the Kingdom of Poland, and was one of the most western regions in the vast Russian Empire. Due to its location, relations in the city were influenced not only by Poles' national liberation views, but also by arranging their lives on the border, where, for example, smuggling was an everyday issue. The article, however, particularly analyzed the russification of Poles at that time, thanks to excerpts from unpublished diaries, but also important and interesting social relations between Poles and Russians.

It is especially important today when the total war between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for 9 months, and it is the governments of Western countries with the support of their societies that support the Ukrainians. In the article, the author would like to present the mechanism of propaganda narrative on the Internet on the example of the Facebook social networking site.

The results 64can confirm the theses related to the external influence on the collective consciousness of Europeans, and at the same time the analysis is an interesting introduction to future broader research,

W omawianym okresie Olkusz należał do guberni kieleckiej Królestwa Polskiego i był jednym z najbardziej wysuniętych na zachód regionów rozległego Imperium Rosyjskiego. Ze względu na położenie, na stosunki w mieście wpływ miały nie tylko poglądy narodowowyzwoleńcze Polaków, ale także ich życie na obszarze granicznym, gdzie przemyt był na porządku dziennym. W artykule autor pragnął szczególnie przeanalizować postępującą rusyfikację, dzięki fragmentom niepublikowanych pamiętników, ale także ważne i złożone relacje społeczne między Polakami i Rosjanami. Autor wykorzystał przede wszystkim fragmenty nieopublikowanego do tej pory pamiętnika autorstwa Franciszka Żulichowskiego Historia jednego życia

Coraz większą popularność zyskuje u najmłodszych użytkowników. Platforma ta dzięki swojej funkcji dodawania krótkich filmów jest narzędziem do tworzenia relacji wojennych przez najmłodszych, ale też właśnie tam możemy znaleźć liczne ślady świadczące o dezinformacji i wpływie wojny hybrydowej. W artykule zostały przeanalizowane najpopularniejsze posty zawierające znacznik (hasztag) #Ukraina w trzech różnych językach (angielskim, ukraińskim i rosyjskim), aby pokazać jaki kontent kryje się za najpopularniejszymi postami.

Mogło się wydawać, że kraje te trudno podzielić i nawet mimo rządów autorytarnych Aleksandra Łukaszenki przyjazne stosunki będą trwać latami. Jednak zbrojna agresja Federacji Rosyjskiej na Ukrainę w lutym 2022 r., w tym atak z terytorium Białorusi, jednoznacznie zniszczył – wydawało się – głęboką współpracę budowaną ponad 30 lat. W artykule autor postara się odpowiedzieć, jak doszło do tego ogromnego zwrotu w stosunkach bilateralnych i czy możliwe są odwrotne działania w przyszłości. A relative who has become an enemy. Revision of Ukrainian-Belarusian relations in 2020-2022 Ukraine and Belarus were linked by a common history, similar culture, language and border.
