In a Europe remade by the First World War, his talents led him to different roles-intelligence operative, powerful statesman, underground activist, lifelong conspirator. Henryk Józewski directed Polish intelligence in Ukraine, governed the borderland region of Volhynia in the interwar years, worked in the anti-Nazi and anti-Soviet underground during the Second World War, and conspired against Poland's Stalinists until his arrest in 1953. His personal story, important in its own right, sheds new light on the foundations of Soviet power and on the ideals of those who resisted it. By following the arc of Józewski's life, this book demonstrates that his tolerant policies toward Ukrainians in Volhynia were part of Poland's plans to roll back the communist threat.The book mines archival materials, many available only since the fall of communism, to rescue Józewski, his Polish milieu, and his Ukrainian dream from oblivion. An epilogue connects his legacy to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the democratic revolution in Ukraine in 2004.Polish artist's mission to liberate Soviet UkraineAnti-communist movementsUkraine, WesternHistoryPolandRelationsUkraineUkraineEthnic relationsUkraineHistory20th centuryUkraineRelationsPolandUkraine, WesternHistoryAutonomy and independence movementsElectronic books.Anti-communist movementsHistory.947.7/084Snyder Timothy148769MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463041403321Sketches from a secret war746031UNINA
