Pozycja Powołanie Komitetu Polskiego w Sztokholmie w latach pierwszej wojny światowejWitkowski, Stanisław (Instytut Teologiczno-Pastoralny im. św. bpa Józefa Sebastiana Pelczara w Rzeszowie, 2021)The article presents the process of forming the Polish Committee in Stockholm during the First World War. The author verifies previous findings of researchers on this issue. Józefa Ledóchowska USJK states that the Polish Committee in Stockholm was founded on the initiative of Aleksander Lednicki, the chairman of the Council of Meetings of the Polish Organization for Aid to War Victims and the Polish Committee in Moscow. A different view on the establishment of the Stockholm Committee was presented by Andrzej Nils Uggla. He claimed that the organization was established on the initiative of Polish emigrants in Sweden, descendants of those who came to this country after the January Uprising and were supported by national democrats. The above-mentioned researchers did not provide references to source materials on which they based their findings. The author of this article, based on sources from Swedish archives and the Swedish press, as well as Polish archives and queries of the Polish press published in Russia, confronts both views. Analyzing the aforementioned sources in detail, he invented that the process of establishing the Polish Committee in the Swedish capital was undertaken during the mission to Stockholm of Józef Evert, vice-president of the Moscow Polish Committee and at the same time a member of the Executive Department of the Council of POPOW Conventions. Both organizations were headed by A. Lednicki. As a result of the talks held in Stockholm, J. Evert offered to allocate a certain sum of money from the funds of the aid organizations operating in Russia to be used for the activities of the newly established charity organization. The organization of this new structure (supporting the Poles living in Sweden regardless of whose subjects they were) was to be carried out by the exiles themselves. It should be said that the Polish Committee was established on the initiative of the Polish exile in Russia, and the executors were Polish exiles in Sweden, led by Alf de Pomian. The process of forming the Polish Committee itself went through several stages. Beginning with the first days of January 1916, when the first still not fully formed organizational form appeared. Then an unsuccessful attempt to merge with the Polish Branch at the Russian Committee in Stockholm. It finally ended in the third decade of March 1916 with the announcement of the establishment of the Intermediary Committee in the Swedish and Polish press.
