Sondowanie przeciwnika czy poszukiwanie sojusznika? Stosunki polsko-rosyjskie na przykładzie Koła Przyjaźni Polsko-Rosyjskiej w Paryżu w latach 1946–1953

Abstract

The article deals with the Polish-Russian Friendship Circle operating in Paris in 1947–1953, associated with one of the most widely-read Russian émigré papers Russkaya Mysl’ (“Russian Thought”). Its editor and the president of the Circle was Vladimir Lazarevsky, a Catholic by religion, who gathered around himself a group of Russian propagators of ecumenism. The organisation’s vice-president was Władysław Pelc, the Polish diplomat involved in the Prometheism movement, who decided to get in contact with Russians. The author reconstructs the opinions of the analysed milieu and answers the question about the purposes of both parties engaged in the dialogue and results of their talks.
