Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to analyze the international dimension of the Polishpolitics of memory executed by commemorative and anniversary resolutions of the Sejm ofthe Republic of Poland. The adopted resolutions are often sources of conflicts and disputes,which translate into interstate divisions. They also have a negative impact on the relationswith other states. The examples of such disputes were discussions on resolutions relating tothe seventieth anniversary of the Soviet aggression against Poland (2009) and the seventythird anniversary of the Volhynia massacre (2016). In this essay I make an attempt, amongother things, to reconstruct and evaluate them.
