    Jan Stachniuk represented a completely exceptional trend on the Polish ideological and political stage. Although he did not greatly influenced the Polish political, social and economic thought, his activity is worthy of note. Monographs concerning his person and a group called Zadruga founded by him constitute the evidence of his importance - and the term "Zadruga" meant an Old Slavonic, Old Polish ancestral and economic community: Zadruga eine volkische Bewegung in Polen [Zadruga - the Folk Movement in Poland] (Bonn 1982) and Słowiański ruch Zadruga [Slavonic Movement Zadruga] (Warszawa 2015), by Stanisław Potrzebowski, Religia, cywilizacja, rozwój wokół idei Jana Stachniuka [Religion, Civilisation and Development Around the Idea of Jan Stachniuk] (Kraków 2002) by Bogumił Grott, Neognoza polska [Polish Neo-Gnosis] (Kraków 2004) by Jan Skoczyński, and Człowiek - mit - kultura.

    Aims and Goals of the Seminar for the Study of Nationalities in Warsaw, 1931–1939 In 1931, the Institute for the Study of Nationalities (Polish: Instytut Badań Spraw Narodowościowych, IBSN) established the Seminar for the Study of Nationalities (Seminarium Narodowościowe, SN) within the framework of this institution. It was believed that starting an educational programme would make it possible to quickly create a group of young specialists, scholars and broadly defined administrative officers who would understand and be open to national minorities issues in Poland, both in the national and Promethean approach. The one-year curriculum included lectures and seminars, during which the participants were required to present papers on the results of their own inquiries carried out with support from the lecturers.

In the next period the National Democrats entered the process of "merging nationalism with Catholicism into a single ideological entity", which resulted in a shift in Dmowski's perception of his compatriots. Dmowski started to notice more of their positive traits. He noted their idealism and religiousness, which were to be lacking among many Western societies. At the same time, discussing the political system, Dmowski criticised certain maladjustment of Polish masses to parliamentary democracy, leaning towards a vision of a system of elitist character.
