Summary/Abstract: The Self-Defense Party of the Republic of Poland was for many years a phenomenon on the Polish political scene. Its hayday was in the first years of the twenty-first century. However, the party suffered electoral defeat in the 2007 elections and lost representation in parliament. Up to that point it had been able to attract significant public support, and even contributed to the make-up of the government. The article presents the vision of the Polish state propagated by the Self-Defense Party. It was that vision that helped it to a period of political successes. The populist nature of the Self-Defense programme was at the same time one of the reasons for the party’s collapse.
