Jasienica's grave, Powązki Cemetery, Warsaw

Paweł Jasienica was the pen-name of Leon Lech Beynar (10 November 1909 – 19 August 1970), a Polish historian, journalist, publicist, writer and soldier. He is best known for historical books about Polish history - the Kingdom of Poland in the times of the Piast dynasty, the Jagiellonian dynasty, and the era of elected kings (the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth).

Life

He was born on 10 November 1909 in Simbirsk, Russia,[1] to Polish parents, Mikołaj Beynar and Helena Maliszewska. His grandfather from the father side, Ludwik Beynar, fought in the January Uprising, and married a Spanish woman, Joanna Adela Feugas. His granfather from the mother's side, Wiktor Maliszewski, fought in the November Uprising. His father worked as a Russian official. Beynar's family lived in Russia and Ukraine (his family moved from Simbirsk to a location near Bila Tserkva and Uman, and then to Kiev) until the Russian Revolution of 1917, after which the family returned to Poland in 1920.[2]

Beynar finished a gymnasium in Wilno (Vilnius) and graduated in history from Stefan Batory University in Wilno.[3][1] At the university he was an active member of several organizations (Klubie Intelektualistów (Intellectual Club), Akademicki Klub Włóczęgów (Academic Club of Wanderers)). In the years 1928-1932 he lived in Grodno where he worked as a history teacher; he also worked as a speaker in the Polish Radio Wilno.[2][1] He also begun his career as the writer and essayist, writing for the local newspaper, Słowo Wileńskie.[1] In 1935 he debuted as an amateur historian, with a book about Zygmunt August, Zygmunt August na ziemiach dawnego Wielkiego Księstwa (Sigismund Augustus on the lands of the former Grand Duchy).[1]

Beynar was a soldier in the Polish Army during World War II and fought against the German Wehrmacht during the invasion of Poland in September 1939.[2][1] After the defeat of the Polish Army, he joined the Polish underground organization Związek Walki Zbrojnej, later transformed into Armia Krajowa (AK, or Home Army) and continued the fight against the Germans.[2][1][3][4] In the resistance he had the rank of lieutenant, worked in the local Wilno headquarters and was an editor of an underground newspaper "Pobudka".[2] In July 1944 he took part in the operation aimed at liberation of Wilno from the Germans (Operation Ostra Brama). In the aftermath of this operation, around 19-21 August, his partisan unit, like many others, was intercepted and attacked by the Soviets. He was taken prisoner; sources vary as to whether he was to be exiled to Siberia or conscripted into the Polish People's Army. Either way he escaped and rejoined AK partisans (the Home Army 5th Wilno Brigade).[2][4][5] For a while, he was an aide to Major Zygmunt Szendzielarz (Łupaszko) and a was member of the anti-Soviet resistance, Wolność i Niezawisłość (WiN, Freedom and Independence). He was promoted to the rank of captain.[3][4][2][1] Wounded in August 1945, he left the Brigade before it was destroyed by the Soviets, and avoided the fate of most of its officers who were sentenced to death.[4][5] While recovering from his wounds, he found shelter in the village of Jasienica.[5][1]

After recovering from his wounds, 1945 Beynar decided to leave the resistance, and instead begun publishing in an independent Catholic weekly Tygodnik Powszechny.[3][2][1] It was then that he took the pen-name Jasienica (from the name of the place where he had received treatment for his injuries) in order not to endanger his wife, who was still living in Soviet-controlled Vilnius which had been returned to Lithuania.[5] Soon he became a member of the weekly's staff and then an editor.[2] In 1948 he was arrested by the Urząd Bezpieczeństwa, Polish secret police, but was released after the intervention of Bolesław Piasecki from the PAX Association.[3][4][1] In gratitude to Piasecki, he worked with PAX in the future, leaving Tygodnik Powszechny for PAX in 1950.[2][1] From 1950 he was a director of Polish Caritas charity.[2] His essays were published in Dziś i Jutro, Słowo Powszechne, Życie Warszawy, Po Prostu.[2]

Over time he became increasingly involved in various dissident organizations.[1] In December 1959 he became a vice president of the Union of Polish Writers (Związek Literatów Polskich).[1] He also published in the magazine Świat (1951-1969). In 1962 he was the last president of the literary discussion society, Klub Krzywego Koła. In 1966 he was a vice president of the PEN Club.[1] While in the late 40s and 50s he focused mostly on journalistic activity, later he turned to writing popular history in book format.[2][1] In the 60s he wrote his most famous works, historical books about history of Poland - the Kingdom of Poland in the times of the Piast dynasty, the Jagiellonian dynasty, and the era of elected kings (the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth).[1][6]

Jasienica was very outspoken in his criticism of the censorship in the People's Republic of Poland. These acts, and in particular his signing of the dissident Letter of 34 in 1964 against censorship and his involvement in the 1968 protests led to his being labeled a political dissident, for which he suffered government persecution.[3][4][7][1] In the aftermath of the 1968 events, Polish communist media, and communist leader, Władysław Gomułka, alleged that in 1948 Jasienica was freed because he collaborated with the communist regime; this allegation caused much controversy and damaged Jasienica's reputation.[3][4][7][2] He was subject to much invigilation by the security services.[1] In December 1969, five years after his first wife's death, he became married again. This marriage, after his death, proven to be highly controversial, as his second wife was in fact a secret police informant before the marriage, and continued to write reports about him throughout their marriage.[8][9][5] Since then, till his death, his books were prohibited from being distributed or printed.[7][2][1]

Jasienica died from cancer[7] on 19 August 1970. Some publicists have later speculated to what extent his death was caused by "hounding from the party establishment".[10] He is buried in Warsaw's Powązki Cemetery. His funeral was attended by many dissidents; Adam Michnik recalls seeing Antoni Słonimski, Stefan Kisielewski, Stanisław Stomma, Jerzy Andrzejewski, Jan Józef Lipski and Władysław Bartoszewski.[7] Bohdan Cywiński read a letter from Antoni Gołubiew.[7]

Work and influence

Jasienica book publishing begun with a historical book, Zygmunt August na ziemiach dawnego Wielkiego Księstwa (Sigismund Augustus on the lands of the former Grand Duchy; 1935). He is best known for his highly acclaimed[11] and popular[1] historical books from the 60s and 70s about Piast Poland, Jagiellon Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: Polska Piastów (Piast Poland, 1960), Polska Jagiellonów (Jagiellon Poland, 1963) and the trilogy Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów (The Commonwealth of Both Nations, 1967-1972). This trilogy made him one of the most popular Polish history writers.[1] Throughout his life he avoided writing about modern history, to minimize the influence that the official, communist Marxist historiography would have on his works. This was also one of the reasons for the popularity of his works, which were seen as a rare, legally obtainable alternative to the official version of history.[1][12][13][14] His books, publication of which resumed once again after his death, were labeled as "best-selling", and became the most reprinted postwar history of Poland.[13][14]

His Dwie drogi (Two ways, 1959) about the January Uprising of the 1860s represent the latest historical period he has tackled. His other popular historical books include Trzej kronikarze, (Three chroniclers; 1964), a book about three medieval chroniclers of Polish history (Thietmar of Merseburg, Gallus Anonymus and Wincenty Kadłubek), in which he discusses the Polish society through ages;[15] and Ostatnia z rodu (Last of the Family; 1965) about the last queen of the Jagiellon dynasty, Anna Jagiellonka. His Rozważania o wojnie domowej (1978; Thoughts on Civil War) were the last book he has finished; unlike majority of his other works, this book is ostensibly about the civil war (Chouannerie) in Brittany, France. This work does however contains numerous arguments applicable to more modern Polish history; arguments that Jasienica thought would not be allowed by the censors if the book discussed Polish history.[7]

In addition to historical books, Jasienica, wrote a series of essays about archeology - Słowiański rodowód (Slavic genealogy; 1961) and Archeologia na wyrywki. Reportaże (Archeological excerpts: reports; 1956), journalistic travel reports (Wisła pożegna zaścianek, Kraj Nad Jangtse) and science and technology (Opowieści o żywej materii, Zakotwiczeni). Those works were mostly created around 1950s and 1960s.

His Pamiętnik (Diary) was the work that he begun shortly before his death, and that was never finished.

In 2006, Polish journalist and former dissident Adam Michnik said that:

I belong to the generation '68, a generation that has special debt to Paweł Jasienica - in fact he paid with his life for daring to defend us, the youth. I want for somebody to be able to write, at some point, that in my generation there were people who stayed true to his message. Those who never forgot about his beautiful life, his wise and brave books, his terrible tragedy.[7]

Polish historian Henryk Samsonowicz echoes Michnik's essay in his introduction to a recent (2008) edition of Trzej kronikarze, describing Jasienica as a person who did much to popularize Polish history.[15] Hungarian historian Balázs Trencsényi notes that "Jasienica's impact of the formation of the popular interpretation of Polish history is hard to overestimate".[12] British historian Norman Davies, himself an author of a popular account of Polish history (God's Playground), notes that Jasienica, while more of "a historical writer than an academic historian", had "formidable talents", gained "much popularity" and that his works would find no equals in the time of communist Poland.[14] Samsonowicz notes that Jasienica "was a brave writer", going against prevailing system, and willing to propose new hypotheses and reinterpret history in innovative ways.[15] Michnik notes how Jasienica was willing to write about Polish mistakes, for example in the treatment of Cossacks.[7] Ukrainian historian Stephen Velychenko also positively commented on Jasienica's extensive coverage of the Polish-Ukrainian history.[13] Both Michnik and Samsonowicz note how Jasienica's works contain hidden messages in which Jasienica discusses more contemporary history.[15][7]
