Written in the form of a dialogue, this is a small book dedicated to the last meeting of scientists, public and religious activists from Ukraine and Poland within the traditional Dunaiv Conversation meeting.
According to the compiler of the book, a well-known journalist Borys Kozlovskyi, these meetings are held for the fourth year in the village Dunaiv, Peremyshliany region – a homeland of Professor Yurii Bobalo, the Lviv Polytechnic rector – during which the participants discuss a number of important and topical issues of history and the present. The last such meeting was in the form of a round table, and was dedicated to the Ukrainian-Polish relations in the past and present. In particular, it was about our current exacerbation and attempts to find ways to reconcile. In the end, the book has the second title: «Ukraine – Poland: we are doomed to be good neighbors ...».
As it is known, the format of the Dunaiv Conversations was initiated in the Middle Ages by two prominent humanists – the Lviv Archbishop Hryhorii from Sianok, who had a summer residence here, and the Italian philosopher in exile, Filippo Callimachus, who was persecuted by the Inquisition and found rescue here in Dunaiv. They invited to these conversations thinkers and scholars from different European countries.
In the book Dunaiv Conversation – 2017, the reader will find interesting and rightful thoughts of the Lviv Polytechnic scientists. Bronisław Kamiński, a Polish publicist and publisher from Kudowa-Zdrój, shared his own vision of the causes of exacerbation of the current Ukrainian-Polish relations.
