Metonimie wojny w Polsce i Rosji. O pamięci w warunkach postapokaliptycznych
Metonymy of war in Poland and Russia. On memory in post-apocalyptic condition

Summary/Abstract: In the presented text, the author compares the cultural contexts of producing discourses of memory in Poland and Russia. Accepting the assumptions of cognitive linguistics, he looks at cultural events in Russia, which he treats as metonymies that reflect wider cultural processes. On this basis, he builds a critical apparatus, which is then applied to the Polish context. An analysis of the Polish debate about the Museum of the Second World War shows the analogy of the discursive mechanisms of memory in both countries, where the apotheosis of militarism is beginning to dominate.
