Recepcja twórczości Michała K. Pawlikowskiego w komunistycznej Polsce
Reception of Michał K. Pawlikowski's work in communist Poland

Summary/Abstract: Michał Kryspin Pawlikowski (1893-1972), came from a Polish noble family from the eastern areas of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania (today eastern Belarus). In the interwar period, he was involved in journalism, primarily in „Słowo" published in Vilnius. As a result of World War II, he became a political emigrant. While in exile, he developed as a writer, writing essays, columns, reviews, and novels. His work in exile was not known in the country. The truths contained in his works -- concerning Polish eastern affairs -- were considered dangerous by the ruling regime, so they were not disseminated to a wide domestic audience. Only a few publications about them were published, some of which were very critical of them for political reasons. Pawlikowski and his work were condemned to almost complete oblivion in the country. When censorship ended in Poland after 1989, it was only in 2010 that his works, unknown here, began to be printed.
