Abstract

The article deals with the process of the formation of the nationally democratic unification of political forces in the process of revival of Polish statehood. It is found out that the incipience and transformation of the Polish parliamentary system after the First World War were connected with a great number of political parties and organizations which influenced much on the functioning of state apparatus of the revived Poland lands as a whole. Such development of Poland is a result of annexation of Polish lands which took place in the past. The territories that had become the part of the Second Rich Pospolyta differed much in social structures and politically legal system. The unification of the Polish society was complicated by the availability of multi-ethnic territories and regional specifications which were historically formed. It is determined that during the first years of independence certain parties and unifications that had the experience of participation in the political life of states played the key role in the socially political life. Polish lands became the integral part of these states. The most important phenomenon in the history of the Polish state became on the one hand the unification of the related ideological courses and on the other hand the polarization of the right and left socially political forces. The national democracy as the basic political force of wealthy people had become the political reunification of such type. The author of the article revealed the process of unification of the right political forces on the basis of nationalist ideas. The National League headed by R. Dmovskyi and Yan Poplavskyi played a significant role in this process. The revival of the Polish state became the completion of the continuous process of unification of nationally democratic forces into united organization. People’s National Union became such an organization. The conquest of the independence, the building of the state, limitation and assimilation of the non-Polish population were the basis of the political program of this Union. It is determined that the nationalism in internal and external policy and preservation of the Polish character of the state had become the main principle of the People’s National Union activity. It was the main reason why political forces of national minorities were pushed away from People’s National Union. When the author of the article deals with the People’s National Union activity he concludes that much attention has been paid to the functioning of the parliamentary representation, namely to the deputies of the Polish Sejm, Senate and statesmen of the local level. But differences between parties that were the members of the People’s National Union had led to the quick disunity and outgoing of a great number of deputies from this unification. People’s National Union had lost the position of the largest faction of the Legal Sejm.
