Myśl Jana Stachniuka jako nacjonalistyczna alternatywa dla ideologii młodej generacji ruchu narodowego
Jan Stachniuk's Thought as a Nationalist Alternative to the Ideology of the Young Generation of the National Movement

Summary/Abstract: Jan Stachniuk’s idea took a form of an attack on the economic and social concepts of the younger generation of the national movement and the system of values espoused by these circles. Stachniuk proposed intensifying the development of the domestic economy, on the assumption that the expansion of industry and the maximum intensification of the entire economy were the only guarantees for preserving the independence of a country caught between the two imperialisms of Germany and Soviet Russia. According to him, achieving this goal also required reconstructing the entire Polish spiritual culture, which differed from the cultures of the developed capitalist countries. To this end, Stachniuk organised a group of activists and publicists who, in the final years before the war, published the monthly magazine ‘Zadruga– the periodical of Polish nationalists’. After the war, he was sentenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment by the communist regime.
