O czym nie napisała Marta Zyn? Edycja dziennika kijowskiej nauczycielki z lat 1919-1922
What Was Left Unwritten by Marta Zyn: An Edition of the Diary of a Kyiv Schoolteacher, 1919–1922

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the diary of Marta Zyn (real name: Marta Wołoszynowska) written between 1919 and 1922, prepared for publication by Joanna Gierowska-Kałłaur and Marta Parnowska. The original manuscript has not been preserved. The basis for the edition was the typewritten version prepared by Marta herself in 1935, covering entries from late December 1919 to mid-February 1922. The diary lacks entries from the period between early March 1920 and March 1921. It is important to note that this missing period coincides with some of the most crucial events in the history of the interwar Polish Republic, specifically the war with Bolshevik Russia, fought not only over the eastern borders of Poland but also over the country's independence and sovereignty. Marta Wołoszynowska's diary offers a relatively accurate portrayal of everyday life in Kyiv and in three suburban towns: Irpin, Boyarka, and Bucha.
