Bożena Ratter: "persons who feel liable for what is most noble in our tradition".
date: May 06, 2025 Editor: Editorial
The excellent book published by the White Kruk “The Attack on Polishness” touches on the most crucial aspects of the existence of our nation. It is simply a cry for courageous standing up for us, again tormented by many enemies, the Homeland – we read in the announcements. The attack on Polishness was preceded by driveway activities - who was aware of this?

In the December issue of 2018, the Galician Courier was given a note: "In the Lviv Oblast, 2019 will be the Year of Bandery" concluded with the sentence: "So in 2019 we will all celebrate the 110th anniversary of the birth of a prominent Ukrainian activist" (the Kursy in the text was emphasized excellence). Note without comment of the editorial board of the magazine, which is presented as the Independent magazine of Poles in Ukraine.
In the same issue of Kurier Galician there is an article about the exhibition in Lutsk at the Museum of Fine Arts of unique works of art, originating from Ołałaka.
The author quotes the Museum’s director’s memoirs “I wandered through the ruins of the historical church in Ołaka “but she does not mention that it was thanks to Poles afraid about the destiny of Polish cultural heritage and Polish financial resources that the historical church in Ołaka was restored.
After 1989, works were started to reconstruct the glory of the monuments of Polish culture, which after the Second War were outside Poland. The president of the Cultural Heritage Foundation on 11 March 2015 (I was present in Gaul at the Palace of the Republic) warmly thanked the conservationists and volunteers, without whom more than 20 projects to reconstruct the glory of the destroyed buildings would not be possible. A movie was besides shown, which showed a advanced degree of demolition of the Collegiate Church in Ołyka, a mutilation indicating the extraordinary savagery of the people to whom the communist ideology "sucked" the relation with the church. In 2013, the Cultural Heritage Foundation launched restoration works aimed at restoring the Collegiate of its erstwhile radiance. manager of the National Library, Mr Tomasz Makowski said about Polish conservationists and students that they are "people who feel liable for what is most noble in our tradition". The Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta, given by the president of the Republic of Poland, was decorated with an outstanding specialist in the field of stone conservation, an adjunct at the Warsaw ASP, Dr. Janusz Smaza.
About the editor of the Galician Courier president Andrzej Duda said: "The grateful Homeland will not forget His dedication, work and achievements" and posthumously awarded him 1 of our highest state distinctions - the Commander's Cross of the Order of the Revival of Poland.

However, the president behaved properly, utilized the word Homeland, which does not necessarily mean Poland. In contrast to the clear content of essays in the book “The Attack on Polishness”.
In this issue of Kurier Galician in the article “Silent over these coffins”, Katarzyna Łoz powerfully emphasises that “The Ukrainians are at home if they want to remove these Lions and even cut them down to powder and put them in alleys in the Strysian park—in consequence to the fact that a group of “extraordinarily ingenious” young people slipped in the back entrance to the Orląt Cemetery a fewer days before 11 November and literally... caused smoke. They launched a twelve rac and stretched across the cemetery wide banners celebrating Orlęta Lwowski and a certain Silesian football team.
Let us apply this rule , Poles are at home , if they want to remove the Ukrainian flag from the Polish public space and compose the fact on the evidence in the monastery .
Ołyka, a town in Wołyń, entered Poland's past thanks to the large Radziwill family, who had their ancestral office here from the 16th century until the outbreak of planet War II. The castle surrounded by fortifications had an extended courtyard and inside was a rich library of 6,000 volumes and many historical memorabilia, stylish furniture, works of art collected over the years. Here he was born and placed the top merit in the expansion of the office from 1635 to 1640, Duke Albrecht Stanisław Radziwiłł, a powerful patron of art, a man of all education – at that time 1 of
The most crucial people in the country, holding the dignity of the Grand Chancellor of Lithuania. At the church he founded a college subordinate to the Zamość Academy and a spiritual seminary and a hospital.
September 17, 1939. The barbarians from the east annexed a swallow. In the name of communist ideology, which ordered hatred of Polish masters, they committed terrible demolition and plunder of the castle (not to mention the arrests and murders of residents). Prince Albrecht Stanisław Radziwiłł besides founded the Collegiate of the Holy Trinity with rich decoration outside. A collegiate in Ołyka, a delicious work of Polish Baroque, 1 of the most beautiful Polish temples in Volyn, erected according to the plan of Italian architects, but for money Albrecht Radziwiłła, who converted from Protestant to Catholicism and in gratitude to God put this temple.
It had beautiful interiors, excellent decorations, finesse reliefs, many paintings, by the pillars of the sculpture of 12 apostles made by the excellent artist of Wrocław Melchior Erlenberg. Beautiful epitaphs and tombstones, stylishly uniform side altars carved from black marble. The last ordinate, Janusz Franciszek Radziwiłł, a politician and activist, rebuilt Ołyka after 1920. Almost all the resources that this household had were spent on refurbishing and revitalizing Ołaca, including the Colleagues.
On 5 October 2011, 2 immense paintings were presented in Warsaw from the church of the collegiate church in Żółkow. Images kept in Ukraine under scandalous conditions (one of them crushed in the box where the visitors sat, the second painting developed from the roller partially) were brought to the capital in late December 2008 thanks to the determination of the employees of the MKiDN and engagement in the Royal Castle task in Warsaw. Poland has "received consent" to the renovation of 2-pictures for which it has allocated EUR 2 million of Polish taxpayers' money. The Ukrainian authorities failed to honour the agreement and the paintings after the renovation did not return to the collegiate.
These were 2 of the 3 paintings ordered by King John III Sobieski, on which he immortalized his own military successes. On the walls of the collegiates were then ordered by the king of immense sizes depicting the conflict of Chocim in 1673 and the victories of Vienna and Parkan in 1683, providing the Polish monarch with European fame. The first of the paintings came from the brush of the Gdańsk-born Andrzej Stech, the another 2 being works of Martin Altomont, the court artist of John III.
How improbable our politicians seem to be. Turtle and Olyka - these are lands so closely related to King Bolesław Chrombry, whose 1000. We celebrated the anniversary of the Coronation in April this year.
Oh, my God.
