Was the Warsaw Uprising a mistake? Could the November Uprising have been a success? And why do the losses of uprisings occupy specified an crucial place in Polish past and memory?
In the latest episode of Liberal Culture, Adam Leszczyński and Jarosław Kuisz are talking to Mirosław Maciorowski, author of the book “Insurgents. Dreamers and realists. past retelled". We wonder if the Polish uprisings made sense, why they became specified an crucial part of the Polish identity and whether events which ended with a military defeat, in retrospect can be considered a political or historical victory.
We besides talk about how we look at the insurgent tradition present and what the past of uprisings says about today's Poland. We besides ask the question: would a young generation of Poles stand up present if needed?
