Summary/Abstract: The article uncovers the specificity of a complex of cultural, historical, political, economic and mental causes and conditions of the formation of «The Fourth Commonwealth of Poland » ideologeme in its right version (in the ideological framework of «Law and Justice»). A number of archetypal foundations of a polish phenomenon of «historical policy» (the enemy myth, the new state and human myth, the sacrifice myth) are analyzed, as well as the appearance of «pagan past» in the political present of the Polish state (the sacred mountain cult, martyrological cult). The author concludes that it is reasonable to examine cultural and political history of Poland in terms of post-colonialism, which makes it possible to find a peculiar ideology of PNR heritage elimination, rebel mythology and the cult of defeat in the national conservative political discourse.
