Summary/Abstract: The parliamentary debate on commemorating murdered Poles on the 60th anniversary of the Volhynian tragedy showed the levels of political conflict in Poland. The parliamentary divisions on the commemoration of the tragic events did not follow the left – right axis. In principle, all political parties wanted to establish good Polish–Ukrainian relations. However, there were strong divisions in the assessment of historical facts which continually caused tension in bilateral Polish-Ukrainian relations.
