Józef Mackiewicz’s idea of restoration of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the context of the geostrategy of the states of Eastern Europe in the period of the two decades between the world wars

Summary/Abstract: The paper is an attempt at summarising Józef Mackiewicz’s views concerningthe idea of resurrection of the statehood of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in theinterwar period. Its objective is to present the cultural and political foundationsfor the project in question that were present in deliberations of the so-called‘Vilnius natives’ but also sources that are basically absent in the domestic thoughtin the form of a geopolitical profit and loss account that Mackiewicz brings to thefore. The paper also discusses the reasons (the ‘carnival of nationalisms’) due towhich the accomplishment of Mackiewicz’s vision, as well as of similar projectsimplying enhanced integration and cooperation between the states of EasternEurope, was impossible in the existing political conditions.
