Summary/Abstract: The text argues that 1926 marked both the peak and the collapse of the Second Polish Republic. Instead of strengthening democracy, the May Coup led to its destruction. The events of that year, placed between the assassination of President Narutowicz and the later Brest trials, illustrate the growing political polarization in Poland.
