THE DIRECTIONS OF ACTIVITIES OF NATIONAL MINORITY IN TERMS OF DEMOCRACY ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE UKRAINIAN MINORITY IN PODLASKIE VOIVODESHIP

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to describe, based on own empirical examinations, the activities and actions of a minority group which under the conditions of a democracy is trying to revitalize and revive their own culture and national awareness. Ukrainians in Podlasie Voivodeship are an autochthonous minority group which within the past 20 years has been making attempts at the reconstruction of its identity. Only 25 years ago all Orthodox residents of the province were regarded as representatives of the Belarussian minority; today this image has become much more complicated and the Ukrainian minority in the voivodeship is the only one recording an increasing number of conscious members.
