„Gdzie diabły szepcą dobranoc” – powojenne osadnictwo w Bieszczadach
„Where the devils whisper goodnight” – post-war settlement in the Bieszczady Mountains

Summary/Abstract: The text is devoted to a group of settlers who after the Second World War chose the Bieszczady for their place of residence. The aim was to show the roots of the history of the Bieszczady settlement. As sources showed, moving to the Bieszczady mountains was not always synonymous with an improvement of wellbeing. However, this was always a turning point in the individual’s life. The research used a variety of source materials, the most important including interviews with Bieszczady inhabitants and the unpublished competition diaries „My participation in the development of the Bieszczady Mountains” (1972). As the research showed, state propaganda was not without significance in the case of settlement in the Bieszczady. The text analyzes travel motivations and peripheral everyday life of the settlers.
