Summary/Abstract: “In December 2019 I stood next to the Dworzec Zachodni train station in Warsaw, holding a flag with the slogan W Ukrainie (In Ukraine). I chose this spot for symbolic reasons: it is at this bus and train station that refugees from Ukraine usually arrive. The campaign gained publicity and inaugurated within Polish society a discussion concerning Polish-Ukrainian relations and the colonial history of both nations. From that time not much has changed. In 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Polish Language Council officially accepted the term ‘in Ukraine’ as a correct linguistic form.”
