The forgotten protagonist of this true account aspired to be a cubist painter in his native Kyv. In a Europe remade by the First World War, his talents led him to different rolesintelligence operative, powerful statesman, underground activist, lifelong conspirator. Henryk Jzewski directed Polish intelligence in Ukraine, governed the borderland region of Volhynia in the interwar years, worked in the antiNazi and antiSoviet underground during the Second World War, and conspired against Polands Stalinists until his arrest in 1953. His personal story, important in its own right, sheds new light on the foundations of Soviet power and on the ideals of those who resisted it. By following the arc of Jzewskis life, this book demonstrates that his tolerant policies toward Ukrainians in Volhynia were part of Polands plans to roll back the communist threat.The book mines archival materials, many available only since the fall of communism, to rescue Jzewski, his Polish milieu, and his Ukrainian dream from oblivion. An epilogue connects his legacy to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the democratic revolution in Ukraine in 2004.
