Kwestia unicka w badaniach wychowanków wybranych warszawskich uczelni ostatniego stulecia. Przyczynek do historii historiografii
The Uniate Question in Studies by Alumni of Selected Warsaw-based Universities in the Last Hundred Years. A Contribution to the History of Historiography

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to review academic literature devoted to the Union of Brest and its follow- ers, written between 1915 and 2022 by students and scholars associated with Warsaw. It includes major publications by alumni of universities and other higher education insti- tutions in the capital of Poland, but also minor sketches (mostly unpublished) authored by Warsaw-based Greek Catholics. It explores the resurgence of scholarly interest in the Uniate question in the interwar period, its stagnation during the Polish People’s Repub- lic, and its rekindling in the Third Polish Republic. It dwells on the realization that the authors’ viewpoint and the science policy of their employers – be it the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church or the Communist Party – was the determining factor in the works’ ideological skew. Another trend observed in the late 20th c. was that the religious affilia- tion of researchers and writers had lost its former significance mainly due to increasing privatization of religion.
