Between the East and the West. Henryk Krzeczkowski’s Exercies on Economic Issues

Summary/Abstract: THE ARTICLE PRESENTS the geopolitical concepts of Henryk Krzeczkowski. Krzeczkowski was a translator of British literature, but addrresed also the political issues. The considerable part of his political or rather ideological and political reflection dealt with international problems, namely the location between Germany and Russia. The direct inspiration of his work should be traced back to Roman Dmowski’s political thought and Feliks Koneczny’s philosophy of history. The fundaments of Krzeczkowski’s geopolitical concept were based on the assumption that because of the fatalism of history and Poland’s location “between Germany and Russia” the country needed to seek agreement (rational agreement) with Russia. As representative of compromise Krzeczkowski was a part of Polish realistic stream and alongside Aleksander Bocheński, Ksawery Pruszyński and Stefan Kisielewski was one of the most outstanding figures of political realism in the second half of the 20th century.
