Wojciech Muszyński

Wojciech Jerzy Muszyński (born 1972) is a Polish historian. His areas of interest are the recent history of Poland and military history.

Education and career

In 1998, after graduating from the Department of History at the Warsaw University, Muszyński began his career as an independent scholar.[1] During this time, he was affiliated with the Republicans and took a lead role in re-establishing the Sarmatia Academic Corporation [pl; de] whose alumni staffed the offices of President Lech Kaczyński and Andrzej Duda from the Law and Justice Party.[2] Muszyński received his doctoral degree in 2010 at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw under the supervision of Jan Żaryn.[1][2]

Whilst pursuing his doctorate, both he and Żaryn joined the Institute of National Remembrance.[2] Muszyński has been affiliated to the institute ever since, and as of 2022 holds the rank of a "Senior Specialist".[1][2]

Works

In 2003, Muszyński established the Glaukopis, a far-right-wing Polish journal on history; among its aims were to reject "political correctness" on controversial topics and present "truthful research" on Polish-Jewish relations.[3] He remained the Editor-in-Chief until 2019.[citation needed]

Views

Some of the Polish media have described him as controversial due to his association with Polish nationalist groups such as the Kukiz'15 association, and his research on controversial historical figures such as Romuald Rajs.[4][5][6][7][8]

In 2016, Kukiz'15 nominated Muszyński to the Collegium of the Institute of National Remembrance; during his candidacy, he posted an image of Barack Obama hanging from a noose on social media alongside a racist video about immigrants.[9] Disciplinary proceedings were initiated; he was threatened with termination but eventually let off with a warning.[9][10]

In 2019, Muszyński suggested that members of the left-wing Razem party should be thrown from helicopters as was done to leftists in Chile by the Pinochet dictatorship.[2][11] Covering the incident, OKO.press noted that Muszyński had a long record of indulging in ultra-nationalist politics and whitewashing dictators.[2]

Honors

He was awarded with the Gold Cross of Merit in 2016,[12] the Cross of Freedom and Solidarity in 2019[citation needed] and Gold Medal of Merit for Polish Science in 2023[citation needed].
