Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the 1943 émigré elaboration “Issues of collective communes” [Zagadnienia gmin zbiorowych] for the Polish Government in Exile by Walenty Fojkis. The article presents the author's person, construction of the study and individual reflections of the author, in which he focused on choosing the most favorable, from the point of view of his own experience, system of basic local government unit. Contrary to the title of the study, he recommended not collective communes but individual communes supported by special purpose associations as the best foundation for Poland's future local government.
