Millennium of Polish Statehood: From Bolesław the Brave to Modern Europe | How We Got Here

Poland was dubbed ‘New Europe’ by the west during the 1990s — but a quick glace at history would reveal it’s anything but new. This year, Poland marks the anniversary o the coronation of its first king, Bolesław the Brave, in 1025.

What began with a crown in 1025 became one of Europe’s most enduring — and contested — political identities. In this episode we explore the symbolic and strategic legacy of Bolesław the Brave: Poland’s first monach, crowned at a time when Europe’s borders, powers and religions were still shifting.

What did his coronation mean — and why does it still matter today?

Was it Poland’s entry into the Western world? Or a declaration of sovereignty against surrounding empires?

So what exactly are we celebrating ?

Join Jan Darasz and his guest: Tomasz Borowski, historian at the Polish History Museum, for this special episode of How We Got Here.
