Historical policy

My first-born boy wrote this under my pre-day postulate of the liquidation of the IPN:

Every crucial  state in the planet  has its own historical policy.
Partly for individual  use, to form  any  attitude
civic, national pride, specified  as, in part as an element
political influence. You think the planet  would look the same if, for example,
Germany has not actively acted for its image in the world, including historical policy?
Or imagine that Poland will halt  conducting historical politics:
Not only do we solve IPN, but we halt  financing museums,
We destruct   celebrations of the anniversary of this and this, strip the monuments, etc.
One-two generations, and from Poles we will become people surviving  in
Poland. Or not, for what good is Poland doing then? They're great.
Germans with a beautiful story. And the Czech Republic. And Russia.
Communities larger than tiny  villages request   stories. Not without it.
They're working. So yes, as long as there are national states in the world, and as long as each of them pursues its historical policy, we should alternatively   be involved.
Even if this policy is to trust  on the constant pursuit of truth.

I answer. Firstly, there are 2 words: “history” and “historical policy”. past is simply a discipline of the times of the name. Historical policy is to ignore uncomfortable facts for a given political communicative and emphasize comfortable ones.

Leopold II Memorial in Brussels without information that he is liable for the execution of 10 million Negroes in his rubber plantation, that is politics. To think that thanks to Czochralski we have modern electronics, that is politics. Katyn's negotiating in PRL was politics. To brag about how we ourselves defeated the Germans at Monte Cassino is politics. So forging what actually happened in the past.

The phrase "although this policy is to trust on the constant pursuit of truth" is not consistent with the definition of "historical policy". That's what a communicative that I'm passionate about.

Historical faculties at universities and the Institute of past of the Polish Academy of Sciences deal with (I hope so) history. Of course, you can have different sentences, for example, about Game, but that's what discipline is about. In the technological planet there is no politics- career done through crucial and interesting research, not through government nominations, as it was and is in IPN.

Apart from dealing with history, the IPN is besides expected to prosecute those who harm or harm Poland. That's double the D.A.'s job.

There are respective books by Tomasz Piątek - I hope that all Polish Readers 2031 have read them. Thomas Friday gives many of our politicians' relationships with Russia. Did the IPN issue an authoritative comment on these books? He did NOT, due to the fact that historical policy is to silence the fact that, for example, a large part of the KOR were erstwhile russian agents.

But I will compose about nationalism in the context of historical politics tomorrow.
