to be taken into account now. We
are slowly going back in time, to
the era when the events depicted
in the "Pogranicze w ogniu" series
were taking place. The Second Po-
lish Republic, facing a similar set
of challenges, has established a
system for protecting the eastern
border, known as Korpus Ochrony
Pogranicza [Borderland Protection
Corps], a military element opera-
ting, formally, in peacetime con-
ditions. It is possible that this direc-
tion, namely reinforcement of the
Border Guard, and establishment of
a specialized military component,
is a righteous one. One should take
into account the fact that solutions
as such will be less-than-effective,
without a political consensus on
the long-term strategy for keeping
the eastern border secure.
