Summary/Abstract: The concept of the ULB has been shaped by the Paris "culture" journal. It shows similarity to the idea of Pilsudski's. Its main assumption is contained the slogan attributed to Jerzy Giedroyc: "There is no free Poland without free Ukraine". The changes which have taken place on the world map with the disintegration of Soviet Union mean, that the concept of Polish Eastern policy had to be changed . From 1989 until the "Orange Revolution", Polish policy makers declared that the "Culture" plays an important role in the Eastern foreign policy. However ULB area is no longer a monolith. Important actors became the European Union.
