Potencjał współczesnego oddziaływania Emigracyjnego Brygadowego Koła Młodych „Pogoń”
The Potential of the Contemporary Emigration Influence of the Brigade Youth Circle “Pogoń”

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to analyse the ideas behind the functioning of the military facilities of the Polish authorities in exile after the end of World War II on the example of the Brigade Youth Circle “Pogoń” and the possible usefulness of its experiences in the face of contemporary challenges and threats to the state security system. Particularly helpful in the following considerations was the content analysis of source materials and the comparative method, which made it possible to verify the thesis of the limited possibilities of achieving full success in this regard. This does not mean, however, that the concept of building an intergenerational bridge, through which the experience of forced exile is passed on to contemporary non-governmental organisations operating in the state security system, cannot effectively support the process of shaping responsibility for state independence in subsequent generations. In conclusions, the author does not exclude their use by other emigration circles, forced for political reasons to temporarily leave their own country.
