Kolabo po polsku – wczoraj i dziś
Polish Style Collab – Yesterday and Today

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article analyzes the difference between Nestbeschmutzer and favorites of the political systems. The former are often precisely defined, clearer in their views, the latter are seen as “blurred.” The latter often play on two fronts, and they eagerly identify with the figure of Konrad Wallenrod. Such social circles were best described by Jerzy Andrzejewski and Leopold Tyrmand, but the discussion around Piotr Wierzbicki’s work was impactful as well. The author of the article juxtaposes historical and contemporary contexts. Collaboration is therefore analyzed as a strategy towards the power, as well as the authority’s efforts to enforce loyalty among its subjects.
