Seventy Three Years After Volhynian Events - Cultural Trauma in Polish-Ukrainian Relations

Cultural trauma creates injury in the heart of the society, while 'carrier groups' construct collective memory, which enshrines in the national identity of the state. Under those circumstances, unresolved cultural trauma leads to the unstable situation in the relations with varying détente and increase in tension periods that creates vicious circle. Complete reconciliation is a choice and series of actions in order to rebuild damaged foundation. It is a long process that requires a lot of mutual efforts to build strong relations. Reconciliation in Polish-Ukrainian case could be achieved with the change of generations and continuation of conducting mutual activities towards strengthening the partnership.
