Being deeply involved in the struggle for a sovereign Poland earned Jerzy Giedroyc and Jan Nowak-Jezioranski a particular right to pronounce their opinions on the new socio-political realities, post-1989. Their earlier activities in exile had been conducive to the development of a responsible and deeply patriotic way of thinking about Poland, based on different traditions. Giedroyc's thinking was characterised by criticism and, at times, a disappointment at the discrepancy between his vision and reality which came close to Zeromski's attitude toward the miracle of independence. Nowak-Jezioranski, reared on Sienkiewicz and sharing the opinions of the Editor of the Paris-based journal, 'Kultura' (Culture), nevertheless focussed on consolidating convictions with regard to Poland's historical circumstances, giving less weight to deficiencies in political culture. Both have left us with books and interviews, amongst them, 'Autobiography for Four Hands' and 'Poland from Close Up', constituting interpretative views on the subject of the period of essential changes to public life in Poland, as well as to relations with Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania and Germany and Poland's place in NATO and the European Union. It should be stated that a great many of the insights contained in, e.g., Giedroyc's Notes, which encompass the 1990s, have retained their relevance, amongst them, observations on the rules of lustration, the weaknesses of state institutions and the social costs of reform.
