Abstrakt: This essay is a modest attempt to trace the “incarnations” of Promethean thought that emerged in Poland in the interwar and postwar periods, during the Cold War, and especially after the collapse of communist ideology in Poland and the dismemberment of the USSR. The circle around Jerzy Giedroyc in Paris, the intellectual engagement of the former activists of the Promethean networks in various anti- -communist groups during the Cold War, and the protagonists of the Intermarium concept had common elements with the classical Prometheanism of the interwar period. The active support of students from Ukraine, Belarus, and the republics of the Caucasus and Central Asia by Polish educational institutions could be seen as a cultural dimension of certain neo-Promethean romantics. The conclusion is based on my own experience within the international scientific community of Prometheanism research since 2008.
