Summary/Abstract: Paper contains two issues. First is description of basic findings on trust: on the one hand theoretical ones (Luhmann, Putnam), on the other hand empirical, showing advantages on developing cooperation and bonds between social groups. Second issue is presentation of six modern ideological assumptions, which were taken by present ruling elite in Poland. These assumptions were inspired by before Second World War radical right-wing Polish groupings. Modern assumptions, which were taken by ruling elite are: primacy of right of nation over law, „Catholic State of Polish Nation” concept, „national breakthrough”, ideological unity, antisemitism and cult of militarism and power. There is a thesis in summary, that constant propagation those assumptions by ruling elite may create in Poland background for decline trust, as a basic element of modern democratic systems.
