Earlier this month, Dr. Marek Chodakiewicz spoke on the CATS Roundtable Radio Show with host John Catsimatidis about the political situation in the Middle East and the Russian foreign policy. He also discussed the situation on the oil market in terms of long-term political aims.

On Saturday, November 14th, The Eight Annual Kosciuszko Chair Conference took place. Topics discussed a number of questions related to the past and the contemporary reality of the Intermarium as well as its closer and more distant neighbors.

According to Professor Marek Jan Chodakiewicz, Per Anders Rudling’s The Rise and Fall of Belarusian Nationalism, 1906-1931 (Pittsburgh, PA: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2015) is seriously flawed both as far as its intellectual framework and understanding of subtle nature of the identity of the people inhabiting Belorussian lands.

Prof. Marek Chodakiewicz has just published a new book in Poland, co-authored with Jolanta Mysiakowska-Muszyńska and Wojciech J. Muszyński. Polska dla Polaków! Kim byli i są polscy narodowcy [Poland for the Poles! On Polish nationalism] discusses the history and nature of Polish Christian nationalism.

On Thursday, October 8, Dr. Marek Chodakiewicz – the current holder of the Kościuszko Chair of Polish Studies – delivered a lectureentitled “Property Restitution: The Case of Poland After the Nazis and Communists.”

During this year’s annual Gen. Walter Jajko Kosciuszko Chair Military Lecture, Dr. Marek Chodakiewicz discussed the various ways in which the underground anti-communist insurgency in Poland fought against Communist forces in the wake of the Second World War, and in later years against the Nazi Germans and Soviet Communists.

At the end of August, Dr. Marek Jan Chodakiewicz returned from a lecture circuit in Europe, which has become an annual Kościuszko Chair of Polish Studies tradition.
